Thank you for clarifying! Something to possibly consider as I continue on my “non-gluten” quest and if I do not improve, but being new to this whole realm and already overwhelmed and stressed, this would have pushed me over the edge right now. 🥹

Hi. Yes. I’m awaiting my Biopsy results. I had B12 and other labs drawn on Mon, including Thyroid levels, as I am on Levothyroxine for radiation-induced hypothyroidism. Those levels should indicate any iodine issues. We had discussed the urine iodine, but he went with the thyroid instead. We’ll see. I never had any of those Pellagra skin changes, or...

I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my...

What Brands of Toothpaste are Gluten-Free?
Itsabit commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Hi. I did some research on my own, and saw many of these toothpastes listed as gluten free. My question is: what about the “inactive” ingredients? Many of them do contain gluten. Would they still affect dermatitis herpetiformis? Or am I just being hypersensitive to the subject because I’m new? I’m questioning everything! Esp since I don’t seem to be gettin... -
Thank you for your response. It has some good information for me to investigate further. In answer to your question about Vit D, yes, and it was normal. I am having the B12 level done today. Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in...

Thank you for your reply. I’m beginning to think of iodine as another culprit in this, as much as I fear it. I will say my rash is extreme and diffuse - it’s everywhere! I first had it on both sides of my neck in the summer of 2023. My PCP and dermatologist at the time, thought it was a reaction to jewelry I was wearing, even though I had been wearing the...

Reply to Russ H, Thank you for your input. As a nurse for 46 years I was aware of much of this. However, as a new member to dermatitis herpetiformis, I have been reading and researching everything I can about it in order to educate and help myself. I was hoping that the oral Dapsone would help to alleviate the itching. I knew the rash would take longer...

Reply to Jackie, Thank you. I have not been eating any oats at all, but I am aware of a possible correlation. And I already rarely eat out, and not recently. So, whatever this is, I’m doing it to myself, somehow. 🤷♀️

Reply to Trent’s, Hi. Thanks for the welcome but I would truly rather to not have to be here. I’ve been researching everything I can about this dermatitis herpetiformis. I did read about Iodine, but to be honest I didn’t think it could be me. Maybe wishful thinking would be more likely. I already have so many eating issues from long term effects of ra...

Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years. I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis her...
