<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> My mother has had DH for about 8 years. Even though she follows the diet she still has blisters. She has decided to try Dapsone. Her doctor never mentioned iodine to her. I did a search to get some info but have a few questions. Should she avoid all seafood, egg yolks, and red food coloring? She can not have dairy so that is not a problem. Is it mostly shell fish? What type of cleansers have iodine in them? Could any of you with DH please email me privately if you can be of help? Thank you. Ginny [log in to unmask]
