Dapsone reaction

Has anyone here ever had a bad experience with Dapsone?  I think I am either allergic to it or at least having a sensitivity to it as my rash has gotten even worse just 2 days into taking it.

Are you eating completely gluten free?  I am not sure how many days it takes to start working.  Maybe that is a good question for your doctor?

Foods high in iodine can make DH rash flare.  Avoid shellfish, idolized salt and dairy products.  

Dapsone contains sulfur.  Some Celiacs develop a sensitivity to Sulfites and other forms of sulfur.  Here's an article that explains it.

http://www.thepatientceliac.com/tag/celiac-disease-and-sulfite-intolerance/

I have a hypersensitivity to sulfur containing compounds and can't use Dapsone or other sulfa medications.   I need to avoid gluten, shellfish, idolized salt, seaweed, and dairy.  

DH is sometimes associated with vitamin B12, iron, or folate deficiencies.  Some Celiacs have a MTHFR gene mutation and require the methylated form of B12 and methylfolate.

Hope this helps.

One of the side effects of Dapsone is a skin rash. See:

Numerous people with dh who have taken Dapsone have had unacceptable side effects from taking Dapsone & some of those were rash.

I have been using Jamaiican Black Castor Oil on my DH. It stops the itching and burning instantly and is starting to clear up.  I will not take Dapsone.

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
