--------------------------------
After many possible diagnoses, including morphea and scleraderma, and
many, many biopsies, two dermatologists diagnosed my skin condition
as lichen sclerosis, but it doesn't fit any textbook case when I have
done a search on it. I've had it in various forms for about 20
years or more,, and have only been diagnosed with celiac for 5 yrs
(although I may have had it much longer and something caused it to
become symptomatic).
---------------------
This subject used to come up fairly often on a FMS group I was on. I got
suspicious that it could be related to CD as I consider CD the #1 cause of
FMS. Here is a list of deficiencies (incomplete I am sure) that can affect
mucus membranes: selenium, zinc, A, B3, B12, folic acid. When you get done
with all the tests, you ought to try these.

There is a Yahoo group that is helpful:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LichenSclerosis
The group has also talked quite a bit about celiac. I think there is a
connection with a weakened immune system.
