<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am new to this list (but not new to having dermatitis herpetiformis) and very much appreciate the information I've found. I have 2 questions I didn't find answered in the FAQ and wonder if list members have information to share. 1) Can anyone give me information about oral inflammation or a feeling of "thickness" inside the mouth and DH? 2) Are you aware of any connection between Dutch ancestry and dermatitis herpetiformis? Many thanks in advance. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ Hal Grotevant [log in to unmask] Dept. of Family Social Science voice: (612) 624-3756 University of Minnesota fax: (612) 625-4227 1985 Buford Ave. St. Paul, MN 55108
