The dermatitis herpetiformis totally disappeared after I stopped eating gluten, with no further recurrence, Yes, I do eat dairy, but no, I don't have eczema. Thank you. I'm always interested to learn new things.

The only thing that temporarily quelled the crazy itching for me was to rub ice cubes up & down my legs. It was shortly after that when I began a gluten-free diet, and the large patches of itchiness & small blisters began to go away.

I found that direct application of ice was a tremendous help in soothing the intense itching, something that the prescription anti-histamines failed to do. My rash began to subside as soon as I eliminated all Gluten from my diet.
