I have just been diagnosed with Celiac 2 months ago and trying to learn things as I go. I suffer from DH and started taking meds as well as being gluten free to get it under control. I've just found out that some shampoos and soaps may be an issue. I use Lever 2000 bar soap and cannot find anything anywhere online to let me know if it contains any variety of glutens. Can anyone here help me out?

That soap and many others should be safe. What you want to look for in soaps, shampoos and conditioners is wheat germ oil and oats. I also have DH and have found many that are safe including both organic and non-organic brands. Do make sure that your doctor is doing regular blood work if the med you were given is Dapsone. It can be quite toxic and your liver panels need to run regularly. It is quite possible for DH to resolve on just the diet. Mine was severe and it didn't take long for it to resolve without the meds. It can take some time for the antibodies to leave the skin and you may be very senstive until that happens. I hope you heal quickly. Welcome to the board and do check out the 'Newbie 101' thread at the top of the Coping section for a lot of good info. Ask any questions you need as we have a lot of helpful people here.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?

      I’ve been avoiding oats and dairy and simply been eating more Whole Foods but I somehow always have symptoms.. I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.
