    Um, that is exactly why I posted on this forum- to get more suggestions. I am not complaining or b%$@#ing about my condition, I am trying to find new ways to deal with it and asking people with more experience to help. You do not need to attack me as if I am disagreeing with you.

    I am sorry if it feels that I was complaining, I am not, I am wondering more about my own will power. I find gluten almost as addictive as cigarettes for some reason. As for my child, I believe he was tested not so long ago and the tests came out negative. Also, there is food for HIM at home that I do not touch, like fruits, soups, meats, etc. I also...

    Thank you kareng, I really am not a believer in gluten-related diagnoses because I've read that sometimes a person might have DH or Celiac but all tests run negative. I basically am reasoning this way: if it looks like DH, feels like DH, the biopsy results are consistent with DH, and gluten-free diet helps to clean it up, it MUST be DH. However, not everyone...

    Hello there, I am a DH sufferer and have been (mostly) gluten-free for the past couple of years. However, I find it extremely easy to slip into eating it every now and then, especially since I do not get any extreme gastric problems, it is just my skin that suffers, and in any case it looks much better now than it did when I just got diagnosed. Nevertheless...

    Hi Colleen, No, I did not know that, can you please elaborate? They took biopsy of the active lesion.

    Hi, I actually did have a couple biopsies,and I remember studying the results of one and comparing it to DH pathology; it basically said "neutrophil infiltration" or something like that (main idea: higher than normal neutrophil count and some kind of immune system activity going on without any bacteria present= consisent with DH). I have a biochemistry major...

    Also, do you ever experience random itching of the palms of your hands (feels like you played with some steel wool or ate a prickly pear cactus, but not as intense?) I just noticed that this is something I experience quite often (but without lesions on my palms).

    I have a patch or whatever on my bottom lip too! And it really hurts! I also have scars that do not go away, and periodic outbreaks of "fake pimples"on my chest, my back and my face (they look like pimples but squeezing them causes nothing but pain; they are really mini-blisters). Recently I had some excess dandruff too and DANDRUFF ON MY EYEBROWS ...

    Hmm, I have one "blister"on my lip which is more like a painful, burning cyst. Every time I pick at it, my eyes swell with tears, it is sooo painful. It is right under/attached to my bottom lip and will not decrease or go away. I peel off a new layer of skin every few days just because it feels good to do so, and the skin is weird irregular shape.

    Hello everyone, I just want to share my story and see if it sounds like I have DH. I was never diagnosed by a dermatologist, this was a self-diagnosis, but I have many reasons to believe that I am right. I am a 25 year old caucasian female. I consumed gluten for most of my life until the age of 21 or so; then, I developed a weird lesion on my neck that...
