Hello Everyone, 
The following is a brief description of HS from the HS Foundation website. 
http://www.hs-foundation.org/ 

"HS is an inflammatory skin disease that affects an estimated 1% of the 
population. The main features of HS include painful and chronically recurring, 
deep-seated follicular nodules, papules, pustules and abscesses, scarring, 
sinus tracts and recurrent discharge. The areas most commonly affected are 
under the arms, groin, buttocks, and under the breasts. The disease is 
variable and recurrent. It may present with solitary or multiple lesions in one 
area, with lesions in many areas, or in more severe cases may have large 
areas of skin affected by recurrent, draining lesions that are very difficult to 
heal." 

I am doing some research with people that have HS and go on a gluten 
free/dairy free diet and reach remission for their HS.  Some people have what 
they might call boils but have not gotten a diagnosis of HS.

I would like to communicate with anyone that has this condition.  If you have 
this condition, or had it before you went on the gluten free diet, or if anyone 
in your family has this condition, or if any of your friends have it,  I would 
appreciate it if you would give them my email address and ask them if they 
would email me.  

The few people that I am talking to now with HS have other autoimmune 
illnesses that are all associated with gluten intolerance/celiac.

Here is the link to a thread that I have on the Gluten Free and Beyond Forum.

Here is the link to a thread that I have on the Gluten Intolerance/Celiac forum 
on Brain Talk.  http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13543

Thank You for any information.
Sincerely
Jeanne Webb
