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.

      Popcorn pain

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.
