Probably a local thing.

You should realize that because you have DH, you have celiac and are most likely doing yourself damage other than itchy skin. My father had few symptoms other than DH but at age 70 was diagnosed with definite celiac. He went gluten-free but still lost most of his teeth, most likely because of the years of eating gluten. I also had DH and and have been completely off dapsone for 8 years now.

There are many wonderful sauces that don't contain gluten and, at least where I live, curry doesn't contain gluten.

good luck

I have to agree here. You could be sustaining so much more damage than just itchy skin! I happen to be one who has many symptoms, DH as well as severe intestinal damage. If you do a little research, you'll see the possible consequences of avoiding the gluten free diet. There are so many food options available to you....and many substitutions for wheat flour. I don't often feel like I'm missing out on anything. Occaisionally I feel like I miss the convenience of pre-prepared foods, but mostly I feel there is nothing I can't have...it's just different, and much, much healthier. I would urge you to do some reading, and not just here, for your own sake.

My DH was horrid. I had problems for years without knowing the cause until fairly recently. Now that I know the cause, and avoid it, I also avoid the painful, debilitating rash. I also can avoid a lot of other health issues. Good luck to you!

I will look into a GFD, but am not looking forward to it. However my partner says that we can do it, so we

      Delayed reaction

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RDB7918393! For some folks, gluten reactions are delayed but I would not think symptoms delayed  of a week or more out would be due to a gluten reaction. Twenty four hours or so but not 7-14 days. I would suspect something else is going on. Eating out is well-known to be the number one sabotaging activity of the gluten-free life style.

      Delayed reaction

      By RDB7918393 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac about 10 months ago after having on and off morning stomach cramping and loose stool that only occurred like once a month. So I don’t get immediate reactions…more if build up reactions. I do my best to be gluten free but hard when on vacation and going to restaurants to fully trust cross contamination problems. I find that if I’m cross contaminated, I don’t get a reaction til about a week or two after. The reaction is stomach cramping morning only with flaky stool. Does anyone else have such a delayed reaction like a week or two after being glutened? Or should I go for more testing to see what’s going on.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!
