Connie, spinach is high in oxalates. Many celiacs do not tolerate oxalates well. If you are still battling dermatitis herpetiformis, you may want to look into a low iodine diet as well as reviewing possible sources of gluten cross contamination. -

Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?
Do you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, as this can be a source of cross-contamination. If you need to take dapsone still your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.): -

For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. -

I was diagnosed 5 years ago. I also have celiac rash which is no longer an issue thanks to maintenance dose of dapsone. I ate spinach with lemon juice and had terrible pain after. My mother whom I suspect had undiagnosed celiac disease developed a duodenal ulcer that turned into a sarcoma late in life . My celiac clinic suggests seeing my family doctor.
