Hello - I was recently diagnosed with DH after years of being told I has psoriasis.  I've been gluten-free for a while now including all of my skin care products but I still continue to get breakouts that are painful and itchy.  My dermatologist would like me to take Dapsom starting in a small dosage.  I'd appreciate any comments from those who have tried Dapsom as the side effects are rather scary.  Also any other things you have done to help with the breakouts.  Thank you so much.

Read this & follow the diet. This is a member who is actually a doctor specializing in pediatrics but she has celiac disease. 

In case that is not clear then you can access the diet here:

Do not eat out, do NOT!!!!!!! Do not eat anything you have not yourself prepared & that means not what your sister made, or your mom made or a friend made for you. They don't know the rules even though they mean well & love you.

Go on a low iodine diet for 2 weeks or so. Low iodine diet can be found here:

Leave off the gluten of course

Get the doc to prescribe you Flucinonide cream 0.05% -- it will help a lot with the itching.

I never took Dapsone as I am allergic to sulfa drugs & didn't want to risk it. Many here have over the years taken it & most have had side effects to where they had to quit it. Your mileage may vary.

Oh, & the breakouts will wax & wane all on their own until all the antibodies are out of your skin. 

AND steroid shots or pills can work wonders UNTIL you go off them & then there's a backlash from hell. A price I can assure you that you do not want to pay.

Thank you so much for this information.  I'm still undecided about Dapsone.  I have had Flucinonide cream in the past and it did not work for me.  I now use Aczone (which is actually Dapsone) but it is very expensive.  Again, thank you for the links, most helpful.

You're welcome! Also watch the NSAID's as they tend to make the rash flare. If you have to take something, it seems Tylenol is the least aggravating to the rash.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By PlanetJanet · Posted

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
