Well as most of you know, it only feels about 100 times worse than it looks.

Damn that sucked. Gluten sucks.

Still healing with no new outbreaks. Thank God. Here are some pics of the progression, I'll post them in order from beginning of outbreak to now. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

Well I guess I'll just reply here to hopefully offer a ray of light to the next person in my shoes. On the 13th it was raging, on the 16 the fluid started to subside, and by today the 19th much of the fluid has gone and the lesions and sores are healing quickly. My previous and only other DH experience acted just like this except the fluid would come...

It's my understanding that, in order for your gut to heal, you need to remove other "inflammitory" foods as well as gluten. I went paleo with a focus on soups, and took L-Glutamine and Seacure and my gut healed greatly within 6 months. Cut out the grains and sugars for now and buy some Seacure (it works wonders).

Well it's been about 8 months since my DH improved to a level where I could live a normal life. It never really went completely away but it was way better than it was last year around this time. I've been gluten free since OCT of 2013 and the DH didn't really kick in until 3 months AFTER I went gluten free. I posted some of my story in the past so I won't...

Thanks for your reply. The rash is spreading up my arms and onto the back of my calves. After 4 months of remaining the same, I'm surprised to have this type of growth so suddenly. Did yours grow like this or did you have full onset right away? I've decided to see an acupunctureist this friday to see if she can help with my condition.

I just checked the thca website and I can't find anything about spinach and almonds being high in iodine. Where did you get this valuable information? Is there a comprehensive list somewhere?

I also think I've been reacting to beef. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Ok thanks again for your reply. I guess it could just be a terrible coincidence that everytime I've added veggies or fruit to my diet I have a reaction. It seems (once I removed the iodine) to be 2-3 days off and 3-5 days on. Everytime I heal, I add something, then 1-2 days later I'm reacting again. Thus, the conclusion I'm reacting to salicylates. Let...

What were your phases like? Did they have a rhythm to them? Or were they completely random?

Hi thanks for replying, your post is very helpful. The itch, omg, the itch. It feels like my hands are coated in paint stripper, or like there's hundreds of tiny cigarettes being put out on my skin. YES I have the itch! At this point I am positive that the iodine causes a reaction but you have me questioning the sal sensitivity. It would be a helluva coincidence...

HI all, I've been lurking for a month or so reading all your posts and conversations about DH and I think I have it. What a bummer this is. It all started last August when I started having heart palpitations and dizzyness which I immediately went to my ND because she could see me faster than my MD. She checked me over and couldn't find anything...
