Hi Dh sufferers i want to try and help a many Dh people as i can. I have dh it's one of the worst things you can get. My arms were covered and legs, head I'd have to get shower 4 times a night it would drive me crazy I'd itch all day. I was on dapsone for a short time until my wife told me about coconut oil.i started with on heat spoonful for the first week, the second week two spoonful keep on tha until the blisters have gone. You still need to eat gluten free also my wife uses it for cooing to I have no blisters unless cross contamination. The coconut oil has to be Virgin unrefined the blisters will start disappearing in a few months it works for me and I hope it works for you all.

Do you eat the coconut oil or put it on the lesions? I find it useful for dry skin and hair also when applied topically. 

Do you know you should limit iodine until your lesions are healed? Iodine can keep the antibodies active in the skin. I only had to drop iodized salt but others have had to limit high iodine foods also. I stopped getting lesions unless glutened within a couple months and within a couple years my lesions became just one or two tiny blisters when glutened. If your breakouts are still severe if you get CCd you may want to limit iodine for a bit. Do add it back in after your skin has calmed down as iodine is a needed nutrient.

if you want to gain the weight with coconut oil have it three times a day with a protein shake. Good luck

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.
