I failed to mention in my reply that it's very typical for DH lesions to break out symmetrically - i.e. both hands, or both elbows, etc.

I'm relatively new to the forum, but was diagnosed with DH last September, and subsequently celiac as well. I don't know anything about Dyshidrosis, but I do know that when I have a flare up, MANY times, it's on/between my fingers. I haven't had sores appear on my feet, but from what I understand if you have DH, the break outs can vary from person to person...

eatgoodmeat4good - Thanks for the detailed information, gosh, just when I think I sort of have my arms around this thing, I open another "pandora's box" of other potential complications and information. The vitamins and asparagus thing really surprised me.

I'm new to the forum and am loving the exchange of information, thank you all of you! A couple of questions regarding testing of family members.

Should all of my siblings and all three...

Ok, so if iodine causes flare ups in terms of new sores on my skin, is it also further damaging the small intestine as with the ingestion of gluten?

Thank you for all the replies....I will check into the vitamins I'm taking - One A Day Women's - also someone mentioned avoiding asparagus???? Please fill me in... thanks!

I was diagnosed with Celiac in September '10 as a result of a diagnosis of Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Have been on strict gluten-free diet since then, (but still learning)....does anyone know how long it takes from the time you ingest gluten for new DH lesions to appear? I go along great with clear skin then I will get a few lesions, it would help to know...
