"Although dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs for life once it appears, permanent remission is reported to occur in 10-20 percent of patients, usually after long-term adherence to a gluten-free diet." Open Original Shared Link Perhaps they worded the sentence wrong? Should it read "permanent remission is reported to occur in 10-20 percent of patients...

Developing more problems due to the "leaky" gut syndrome we all face as celiacs while taking in certain substances? For instance, if someone was to take creatine and whey protein and another suppliment like cissus quadrangus(for joints) would that give them an increased risk for further complications of celiac disease based on the amount of stress it is...

So i've been wondering, if there was ever to be a new treatment for DH other then the gluten-free diet and Dapsone would it have to treat the celiacs or the DH or both? Or perhaps if celiac disease was successfully treated would a byproduct of this treatment be a cure for DH? Or better yet if Dh could be treated would a treatment for celiacs be a byproduct...

I too am getting my upper endo done here on the 2nd of june. However something is confusing me, when people adamantly argue against going gluten free before a biopsy is it only for people that may or may not have had gluten as a staple in their diet for years and years prior? Because i guess im failing to see how my 20 years of damage could heal up in week...

A drug called AT-1001 is being used in clinical trials as a means to prevent gluten being absorbed into the mucosal lining of the intestine with some success. Open Original Shared Link

I have been 2 days on the gluten diet (only a sandwich a day but still gluten) and I have experienced the same regularity that you are having as well. I am pretty sure its from the healed villi and from what i know it does indeed take a couple of days to get gluten regulating through your system to have the really adverse effects that are typical of celiacs...

Well no ones pushing me really but myself. It was my grandfathers wish that one of the remaining sons in my family go the military route again-as he served in the Navy during WWII. So it had always sorta been my dream since i was young to be a military officer and go through the training school and i decided on the air force before i was diagnosed but i...

To the poster above me-What branch was your dad in? Army or Marines im guessing? I've been wondering if the soldiers who have a known gluten intolerance that are still in are in because they have more access to "normal" foods IE Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy instead of the Army and Marines that really rely heavily on MRE's and what they can carry. I was...

Hmm maybe ill have to endure more then a wheat wafer then since i had DH i really didn't have any GI symptoms thats why it took me 6 months to see a dermatologist cause i figured the rash would go away on its own if i didn't itch it. As of right now i have some mild stetorrhea (mild being once a day at most) and alittle gas with some abdominal pain on my...

Hmm, i've been eating a wheat wafer every day just to keep some gluten in my system for this biopsy and i intend to have my very last "cheat" day the day before i go in, and i will continue the gluten free diet even if it does come back negative because its always been important to me to have a healthy, fit body and mind. I was just curious if those results...

So my doc did a blood test on me and my results came back positive for anti-endomyseal and anti giladin, does this mean i have celiacs then? I am getting an endoscopy on the 2nd of june but i was still in limbo about these results and how right they can be. Anyone shed some light on my situation? What happens next? Im on the gluten free diet btw and it cleared...

Hello all, just figured i'd give you my story and see how closely this resembles your own celiac diagnosis. It all started 6 months ago when i had started to get a rash on my elbows, lower back, and knees. The rash did not go away but was not that bad in the beginning. Until one day about 5 months into having the rash it started to blister and itch terribly...

Well why wouldn't they consider wanting someone that could pass their tests and physical exams with flying colors all at the expense of not eating breaded products? I say i prefer not to because im still waiting my official diagnosis. It doesn't look good so i thought it couldn't hurt to ask, especially if someone is battling it while already serving. ...

How about lower right side just to the right of your belly button? Constant aching that is always there and flares up and subsides constantly.

Hmm i've been wondering this too. If you have a college degree and would like to try to be admitted to OCS for say air force and are physically fit and fully capable of passing all physical and mental assessments just that you suffer from mild consitpation and skin rash from gluten do you think there is a slim chance you could be admitted? Being your in good...
