Re: New member and CELIAC/DH

[Guest guest]

Dermatitis Herpetiformis IS celiac disease, just a different

manifestation. At the bottom of this page is a very good page on DH.

http://www.celiac.com/index.html

Enzymes do not help with celiac but they DO help with other food

issues like dairy. One of my kids has a skin rash with other foods in

addition to gluten, and the enzymes do help with those food issues.

However, if a celiac person uses certain enzymes AND eats gluten, the

resulting reaction is nasty [lots of stomach upset and vomiting].

I use these enzymes, for other food issues for my children.

*Current* thinking is that celiac is genetic. However, there is some

anecdotal evidence that celiac can actually be metal-induced, rather

than " genetic " . I am chelating my children and I have found that

their ability to eat gluten is improving. I am hopeful that once the

metals are removed, they can resume eating gluten again.

Have you had your daughter's metals tested? That might be a good step

also.

Here is my son's story, if you are interested.
