Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis

I have celiac disease and when I am accidentally exposed to gluten I notice my psoriasis beaks our. It usually takes 7-10 for it to calm back down. When I’m extremely careful (not eating out) my skin is clear with no psoriasis outbreaks.

Yep, all autoimmune is related.  My thyroid Enlargement and nodules are no longer detectable since I went gluten free to treat my celiac disease. Keeping my immune system calm has improved my health.  

Interesting, for more than 40 years doctors told me I had psoriasis on my elbows. Turns out it was Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I am in the 1 percent, during this time doctors also told me I was not Celiac. Does anyone understand the the process for analyzing villi after an internal biopsy of the intestines? What doctors look for is atrophy of villi, should you not show atrophy it is assumed you are not Celiac. That in no way proves that the villi can not absorb nutrition, it is an assumption. 1 percent of Celiacs have DH, which confirms it. Furthermore, my symptoms confirmed it....Dry eyes, mouth sores, glossitis, loss of gallbladder, unnecessary surgery for inguinal hernia, ataxia, aphasia, dementia, tinnitus, peripheral neuropathy, hypoglycemia, swollen lymph nodes, swollen joints "misdiagnosed" as lyme disease and/or arthritis, constant headaches. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Each and every symptom can be directly related to malnutrition. The vast majority of people suffering from DH, show nearly normal villi, but that does not mean that villi can not absorb nutrition. Lots of study needed here. My two year old nearly died after doctors thought his emaciation was due to cystic fibrosis, or a brain tumor. Had it not been for me demanding a Celiac test he would have died. He was the first in our family to be diagnosed Celiac. I did research on my whole family and found that doctors misdiagnosed my parents and brother as having Alzheimer's when in actuality they were undiagnosed Celiacs, as was I. I went gluten free, could finally absorb nutrition after 45 years and after doctors told me I had less than a year to live, I am healthier now than my first 45 years...I am 61 now. My 20+ years of study and research shows that "all" dementia is related to longterm malnutrition, Celiacs leading the vast majority of misdiagnosed Alzheimer's. I would like to work with Scott Adams and prove that anyone suffering from dementia of all kinds can be reversed with proper nutrition. There is at least one neurologist that wrote a book titled "Grain Brain", he was close but not accurate. His claim was grains caused dementia when in fact it is malnutrition. He notes his patients turned out to be undiagnosed Celiacs. I can prove dementia is caused by malnutrition with my before and after PET scans. I successfully reversed my dementia when I was able to absorb nutrition..so was many other documented Celiacs. Before someone starts playing the credential game with me, note this, I have a genius IQ and can prove this too...never chose to be a doctor, not even close to my most respected professions. Happy to have saved my life, my family's lives, and looking to save millions more. I believe with Scott Adams' platform and respect that the medical community has for him, working together we can change the lives of millions misdiagnosed with DEMENTIA.
