SUMMARY
1.  I got a suggestion to check with local support groups (always a good
idea!)

2.  I didn't get a single recommendation for a Dermatologist in Boston
familiar with DH. If you read this and you know of one, please send me
email.   It's never too late!  I did get a recommendation for a GI doc
though:

Ciaran Kelly, Beth Israel Hospital
"Adult GI celiac expert in Boston- Ciaran Kelly, Beth Israel Hospital"
______________________


3.  Pediatric GI doc in Boston familiar with celiac:

Laurie Fishman, Children's Hospital in Boston
"Laurie Fishman is an excellent pediatric GI doctor. She works out of
Children's Hospital in Boston. She's been taking good care of my celiac
grandson."

Alan Leichtner or Athos Bousvaros, Children's Hospital,
Boston
"Pediatric GI: Alan Leichtner or Athos Bousvaros, Children's Hospital,
Boston. Children's Hospital has an excellent celiac support group for
families too."

Verhave, Boston Children's Hospital
"My daughter's doctor (along with the entire group) is with Boston
Children's Hospital, his name is Verhave. He is great, and the team is
wonderful. Good Luck,"

4.  I got a link to information on DH:  "Keep in mind that since you
have been diagnosed and will be following a 100% gluten free diet, your
DH should begin to clear up. You may need additional medication to get
it started and/or to help the itch.  DH victims are sensitive to iodine.
Some info. is available at"
