Non-itchy, non-blistery form

Anyone else been confirmed with having this (and coeliac disease) but have a non-itchy, non blistering version of it? Thanks in advance. Mine looks nothing like the photos I've seen, or descriptions. But apparently it can come in different forms and mine is quite typical..?

I think your case might be unusual, as the primary symptom for most people with DH is severe itchiness. Did you ever have a blood panel done for celiac disease, and are you on a gluten-free diet?

Im on a gluten-free diet and if I have any gluten by mistake, I know about it.. 😞 ! I was undiagnosed for many years, which has wrecked my intestines. I don't want to eat gluten again just to get the confirmation. The dermatitis herpetiformis was confirmed by two doctors, but not had biopsy of the dermatitis herpetiformis yet.

If you still have this rash, is your diet 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.):

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
