<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> For those who have or had DH - how long did it take to be rid of the DH after starting a gluten-free diet (without taking Dapsone)? My dermatologist told me it could take six to eight months although I have talked with one person who told me hers went away after three. The derm. suggested I take Dapsone but I chose not to because of the side effects. I've been on the GF diet for about seven weeks and can see that I have less of the DH and that any individual area doesn't last as long as previously. Thanks for your help.
