Re: official dx


Hi Ann,



I'm glad you've got a diagnosis. Many of us don't experience the diarrhoea as the coeliac disease is often mild in DH sufferers, which is possibly why it's not mentioned much in this forum.



Have you asked for dapsone of sulfapyridine to ease the rash in the short term?

So it's official. I do have dh and I am awaiting rx confence results. My GI guy ,as he said, is excited about this because we may finally have a dx. I,to feel happy to know that maybe I have a conclusive dx and possibly a plan for tx. God knows, I can't continue feeling like this, between the diarrhea,which no one mentions and the incredably itchy rash, which is so everyone on me, I need just a little relief.



Any other suggestions?
