AIP Food re-introduction for DH

I have been on the AIP diet for 38 days now.  It was my only answer after dealing with another serious outbreak of my rash.  I have been on a strict gluten-free diet for more than a year and seemed to be getting it under control until last August.  I'm on Dapsone but this time the itching would not stop.  I re-cleaned everything and tried to figure out if there was some way I was getting glutened, but came up with zero answers.

My rash is slowly starting to heal, (I have it everywhere, legs, back, stomach, armpits, scalp, arms).  The itching has stopped for the most part.  I eat only AIP

How do I start to re-introduce a food?  There's lots of info for Celiac but not for DH.  We have different symptoms.  I don't think I have an immediate reaction when I accidentally eat gluten.  I'm pretty certain that I am allergic to other foods, but don't know what it is, yet.

If the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been working to improve your symptoms should you go off it this soon? With DH 38 days gluten-free might not be long enough, but if you eat out, or if you include oats in your diet this could be a source of contamination.

I have been gluten-free for almost two years.  I have been on the AIP diet 38 days because just being gluten-free wasn't working for me.  I do not eat out.  No grains or oats, rice, corn are allowed on AIP.  No seeds, nuts, coffee, chocolate, sugar,(except honey or maple syrup), nightshades.  Also no dairy.

I forgot, no iodine and I am only taking my prescription drugs.  I have checked on them and they are gluten-free.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Everyday life

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. Re: tTG-IgA:
