Wow, I had no idea dermatitis herpetiformis is so easily triggered! So there are definitely things that could trigger the dermatitis herpetiformis, and not the gluten reaction… I’m gathering. Yikes.    im learning so much, thank you! Only in the last year or so has my dermatitis herpetiformis really become a factor, so I’m just figuring it all out. 

oh my goodness! I kid you not it took maybe 30 hours after stopping the drink for the rash to start to clear. I think I will try the matcha version and hope it’s just the coffee issue, because it was helping my energy so much. BUT now I know to keep a close eye for the mushroom negative effect… thank you so much!!! 

It’s great that you’ve been to the doctor and are exploring all possibilities! However, it’s important to note that celiac disease testing, including antibody tests and endoscopy, should ideally be done while you're still consuming gluten. The fact that you don’t have diarrhea doesn't rule out celiac disease, as not everyone with celiac has diarrhea — symptoms vary widely, and some people may only experience issues like fatigue or nutrient deficiencies. While elevated gliadin antibodies (like the ones you mentioned) are not specific to celiac, they can still be a potential marker. An endoscopy with a biopsy of the small intestine remains the gold standard for diagnosis, especially if there's suspicion after antibody testing. It might be a good idea to discuss this further with your doctor if you continue to have concerns. Also, be mindful that IBS and celiac disease can sometimes have overlapping symptoms.
