Old Research on DH is it time for it be rediscovered

To All,

I was curious when DH became associated with Celiac disease in the research and found that it happened around 1967.

But I was also surprised to find DH was being treated as DH without connection to Celiac disease 20+ years before that date.

So I was curious what was used/studied to treat DH before it became a celiac associated disease.

I came up on this research I was surprised to find . .and was curious what other's thought of it.

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82674034.pdf

I couldn't find the link without the pdf ...so I am posting it here on how Nicotinic acid was used to treat DH sufferers at 50+ percent and maybe as high as 80+ percent success rate in the 1940s but has now been forgotten?

Is this the missing link?

Currently Niacin or Niacinamide with Tetracycline is used to treat DH ...

Does this OLD forgotten research indicate Niacin aka Nicotinic acid as the correct/proper treatment for DH now forgotten by medical science?

      Feeling ill

      Welcome to the forum, @Whyz! By "half way to being diagnosed" I assume you mean you have had the blood antibody testing done but not the gastroscopy with biopsy. Is this correct? Were the results of your blood work positive for celiac disease?

      Three days of no gluten is not likely to have much impact on serum antibody test results. I have more concern over exactly what test or tests were ordered. When you get the results back, please post them including the reference ranges for the tests for negative vs. positive. What country are you in? Do you have much choice in what doctors you see? Sounds like it might be a good idea to seek out another physician who knows what they are doing in this area of disease diagnosis. At any rate, you have the link I shared above outlining the various tests that can be run so that might be a resource you could share with a physician.

      I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!
