Hi all, I've suddenly got a skin rash on my leg that might be dermatitis herpetiformis...can figs trigger this?  Has anyone else had a similar reaction to eating figs?  And if so, what did you do to treat it?  Or did it go away on its own after a few days?  At the moment I'm just icing it and hoping it dissipates.  Many thanks, Charlotte

I've never heard of figs triggering celiac disease or DH, and they contain less than 20 micrograms of iodine per 100 grams, so they considered low in iodine--if you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. Is there a chance you could be allergic to them?

This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Sorry, the question is if there is any insight as weather there would actually be gluten from the beer that would be in or on the chicken after cooking. We know alcohol evaporates off during cooking. My guess is the gluten would remain on the chicken skin, as gluten is not alcohol-soluble.
