This DH is driving me absolutely mad I have had this for 1 year as far as I no I'm gluten free I swear making .e so depressed 

Sharron Robinson,

Here is too great threads on DH.

(Short and Sweet)

(Long and Bitter) but helpful.

Try you some Niacin.....it will cause intense flushing in higher doses....say 100mg+ (worse on an empty stomach) but it will help your itching....in a couple weeks....when you are "Flushed Out" from taking Niacin the itching will greatly improve!

And if you have time and want to read it.....here is the technical reason(s) taking Niacin can help with itching....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      New diagnosis

      This is the best gluten-free bread I have tried. It is quite time consuming to make for a bread machine recipe as it requires 3 different flours, 3 different starches and a lot of other ingredients.   https://www.glutenfreealchemist.com/gluten-free-bread-machine-recipe-bread-maker/

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      I hope you all had a nice weekend. Cloudy here in Hampshire. Just a little update that might help someone else one day. Over the weekend, I realised that the brand of almond milk I had been buying contains added iodine. So, I visited the supermarket and chose a different brand (Plenish) that does not contain added iodine and have been drinking that since Saturday. No itching at all yesterday! Another breakthrough (thank you @knitty kitty). I think the added iodine milk may have been what was causing that last 10% itch.  I also met a friend for coffee in town yesterday. The cafe only had soya milk (which I have not been sure I am OK with) but I had 2 delicious latte's made with soya milk. I also had a gluten-free millionaire's shortbread. I am beginning to enjoy the taste of almond and soya milk a lot more than cows milk now.  I seem to be fine with a little sprinkle of cheddar cheese on my jacket potato. I bake them in my air fryer and have them with a big mixed salad and baked beans. I also made a gluten-free tuna pasta bake on Saturday; it's my son's favourite dish. I was  fine with that, too but have noticed that a whole can of tuna sets me off itching.  It is a learning curve. My dermatology appointment is tomorow and I will come back to update. Have a good week everyone.

      An observation about psyllium husk

      By transplantwest · Posted

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.
