Dermatology and Celiac Disease: Did Gluten Cause this Rash?

A range of dermatological features have been associated with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders, including Dermatitis Herpetiformis, eczema and psoriasis, to name a few. Attendees learned about the connection between the largest organ in our body and celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity in children and adults. “Celiac Disease and Your Skin” was presented by Channi Silence, MS, a research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital under the mentorship of Shadi Kourosh, MD, MPH, board certified dermatologist and Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Kourosh answered the Q & A along with Sophie Delano, MD, Instructor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School, who presented “Recognizing & Treating Cutaneous Symptoms of Pediatric Celiac Disease.”
