I was diagnosed with Dermatitis Herpetiformis (sp?) about 11 years ago
and have been gluten-free ever since. Because I was diagnosed so long
ago, most of my research was done then...until now with this terrific
group.
My question is: what is the connection between celiac and DH? My
step-mother was recently tested for celiac and in some information she
received from her doctor, it said that all DH patients have - even if
its only to a minor extent - some form of celiac. Is this true? I
tested negative for celiac when I went through some GI problems a few
years ago, but I'm curious.
