In my case I came back from Thailand in 1966 with infectious hepatitis.  In
1971 I was diagnosed with T-1 diabetes and discharged from the Air Force.  I
stayed on a "Whole Wheat" diet while employed at CNSYD in Charleston I broke
out with a rash under my tool belt that after a year of prescribed ointments
I was finally sent to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with DH and told that
I would have to take Dapsone for the rest of my life this was in 1992.  In
1996 I kept having to take more dapsone, I got anemic, I lost weight, I got
fired from a guard job, after I retired from the shipyard , for having two
insulin reactions at work.  That turned out to be illegal as he refused to
accommodate me and I settled out of count in 1998.  In 1996 about the time I
got fired I saw an article in Diabetes Forecast about CD and autoimmune
diseases.  *Wheat's Your Problem*  by Jean Guest.  The article may have
saved my life, I took it with me to a gastroenterologist and was diagnosed
with CD.  I was his first patient, and as the article pointed over 5% of all
T-1 diabetics have CD.  It took me almost 4 years on a strict g/f diet to
quit breaking out completely.  I no longer take dapsone and get along great
now and gained all the weight back.  No one in my family has diabetes or CD.
Last year I was diagnosed with psoriasis.  It is a mild case and attributed
to a weaken immune system.
