Has anyone had a Derm diagnoses their DH, with just a visual assessment, and no biopsy? Just wondering...

No, they will need to perform duel biopsy's. Bad skin and good skin side by side to confirm. Wouldn't trust a visual. This is to serious. I took a low dose of Dapsone for about 2-3 months to get rid of the rash with blood work every 2 weeks while getting off gluten. Blood work was fine until the 3rd month when I stopped the med's. I can now take Dapsone as needed if I accidently get glutened and it seems to work.

If you have already been diagnosed celiac then I would say yes. If not then the derm needs to biopsy the area next to the lesions to find it. Make sure they are looking for DH.

My dermatologist diagnosed mine the second he looked at it. Never had a skin biopsy.

      Agreed. Dairy is just as bad as gluten for me.

      Many probiotics start with growing the bacteria on a dairy substrate leaving traces of dairy in the probiotics.   Many Celiacs react to dairy in the same way as they react to gluten because certain protein chains in dairy resemble gluten protein chains.   @Wheatwacked ferments his own pickles.  Perhaps he can chime in.

      The AIP diet does have a vegetarian version.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne developed the AIP diet for herself and her children, all Celiacs.  The AIP diet has been shown in scientific studies to promote intestinal healing.  You might visit her website.  https://www.thepaleomom.com/
