Thanks to all who responded to my question about confusing DH with
excema.

Here is the summary:

2 said that they have diagnosed DH that had one time been misdiagnosed
as excema.

4 said that you do not have DH but that EXCEMA CLEARED UP SIGNIFICANTLY
WHEN ON A GF DIET.

3 said that they were not diagnosed with DH, but thought there could
be a possibility that their excema was DH, and regardless, it was
better on a GF diet.  All these people said that there was a family
history of skin problems, and that some family members refuse to
be tested for celiac.

One poster indicated that it is easy to have DH biopsied by a dermatologi=
st.

I have shared this information with my mom, and hope that she will share
it with the family, since a bunch of them have excema that would be
considered quite severe.

Thanks to all,
