Welcome to the forum, and I'm sorry to hear about your DH symptoms. How well are you doing on your gluten-free diet? With DH, it is extremely important to eliminate 100% of gluten. The article below may help you with that. 

Also, there are lotions available with up to 5% lidocaine, at least in the USA, which could also help.

It sounds like you may have some gluten cross reactive issues. Google gluten cross reactives. I react to chocolate and rice. The only gluten subs I don't have reactions to are tapioca( which makes delicious bread and is a root veggie not a grain.) and corn. I do react to chocolate unfortunately. You could try subbing carob for chocolate. Tastes pretty much the same. See if you react.

Often what are described as "cross-reactors" are common food intolerances that newly diagnosed people with celiac disease have because of their leaky gut state. Many of these may go away after being on a strict gluten-free diet for a couple of years, and which will normally allow the gut to heal. In my case I was able to add back 90% of my "cross reactors" after a couple of years on a gluten-free diet.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
