I have not found any links in the medical literature regarding gluten being associated with dermatomyositis.
There is so much that is unknown about autoimmune disorders. Can you tell us more about why you are making this link? Have you been diagnosed with dermatomyositis?

Well..I did find an article regarding some case studies with dermatomyositis and celiac disease: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2659927/
There have been a link found in children, but not in adults (just a few reported cases in adults).
Do you need any additional information, or does this one article meet your needs?
