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!

Thank you. At the very least you made me realize how lucky i am, i have a very very mild form of DH.

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

      folic acid vs folate

      By glucel · Posted

      Finally found something with less methyl folate and 12. Many b complex are loaded with too much biotin which I did not want either. I will take an additional 100 mg tab of b1. I will take this lighter version for 3 weeks and maybe take the heavier one for 1 week. Not happy that autolyzed yeast added as other ing but will look into it further. Amount Per Serving% Daily Value Thiamin (as thiamine hydrochloride)9 mg750% Riboflavin (as riboflavin)4 mg308% Niacin (as niacinamide)45 mg NE281% Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride)10 mg588% Folate (as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) (240 mcg L-5-MTHF)400 mcg DFE100% Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)50 mcg2,083% Biotin (as biotin)30 mcg100% Pantothenic Acid (as d-calcium pantothenate)45 mg900% Food Blend Organic brown rice, organic kale, organic broccoli258 m

      What everyone favorite Gluten Free Bread?

      By MCS · Posted

      ebans per loaf is pretty much same as every other gluten free in market. But way better tasting if you can do gluten free oats. If you have freezer space, spend $50 and shipping is virtually free. Also if you want to try before you buy, they will send you free loaf and cookie of your choice. They did for me. I do not do Costco.

      Gluten and lactose free ice cream?

      By MCS · Posted

      I will likely stick to making my own frozen yogurt where I can control the sugar, most of what I find in stores is way too sweet for me, but thanks.

      Gluten Free Blood Pressure Medication

      By KIM BURTSFIELD · Posted

      I recently tried olmesartan, and it gave me horrible fibromyalgia symptoms. I am going to start amlodipine tonight. I hope I don’t get the same reaction you did.

      Change in Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and reactions can vary quite a bit from person to person, and can depend on the "dosage" of gluten ingested.  This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
