I've been gluten free and trying to be lactose-free but every time I have something with milk, my face breaks out and the DH rash comes back on my tummy. Can milk cause DH symptoms?

Thanks.

My 3rd week of gluten free.


I really think milk and cheese are causing me issues. Many folks with DH say to get off of it until the rash gets better and then try it. I feel like now I am going heavy on corn products.


I went to decaf coffee and a tiny bit of half and half, instead of a quarter cup of 2% milk and I am doing better. I am having only one cup a day.


I also added Chai Tea with no sugar as my alternative. I skipped coffee for a few days and it made me crazy. I may have to give it up, but I have to find some other things.


I read somewhere that hard cheeses have less casein and are sometimes tolerable in small amounts.


My diet is so limited I am cranky. I need to add some things in. I do brown rice and legumes, grits, carrots, lettuce, sweet potatoes, popcorn, watermelon, apple juice . I really need to step up the veggies, but I don't like them


I may still be glutening myself with some unknown things, like kroger benedryl.

My itching is a tiny bit better but still wakes me up. My neck has almost cleared up, but stomach and tush are worse.
