Long story short, had endoscopy with biopsy. Show bunting of villi. GI Doc said most likely celiacs. Blood tester were negative. Went a year on gluten free diet, had a repeat scope with biopsy. Intestines were healed and no symptoms. 

Was a bad boy had gluten for 6 months straight with no symptoms then all the sudden developed stomach issues. Not long after that I developed a rash on my knees, head and groin. The itching is intolerable. Went to dermatologist, he preformed biopsy and proscribed some topical steroids and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. 

Been taking the antibiotic and using the cream for 2 weeks, "also back on the gluten free diet for life". Test results came back as dermatitis herpetiformis. Dermatologist called me today to check on my progress with everything. Told him steroids help along but if I don't use them for a day the itching returns and more red spots. 

He wants to put me on dapsone. He took blood work to make sure I should be able to tolerate it well. 

Has anyone had gut symptoms for years like I had...
