Could be dermatitis herpetiformis ("DH") which is a classic expression of celiac disease and which has no other known cause.

Yes!! had it earlier this year (thought it was hives, lasted over 2 weeks) along with numerous other things (stye in my eye, athletes foot) that I had NEVER had before in my life.  Explains a lot.

Have you been tested for DH or celiac disease and have you been confirmed to have either by formal diagnosis?

I am following a gluten free diet yes.  I was thinking maybe I am lacking in vitamins I was very low on Vitamin d when I got diagnosed.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are very common, especially in those who are newly diagnosed. Are you taking supplements that include a B Complex, as well as D? Have you had your levels re-checked?

@Natalie youds,

"Blister rash hands and feet"  

Could you describe your rash a little more?  

Have you compared your rash to pictures of DH? 

Is the rash on the top of your hands and feet or on your plans and soles of your feet?  

Does the rash get worse when exposed to the sun?

I used to get blisters on my fingers, that itch, and extremely itchy fingers after exposure to sugar.  Then the skin dries out and breaks open into sores... this part can last up to months, depending on how much sugar or over what period of time. I still get this today if I am inadvertently exposed to sugar.

Yes. Mine was weird though because it did not present itself above the skin. It felt more like I was walking on blistered skin but the blisters were not visible and went away after a day.

Sometimes people with celiac disease (and other diseases) get eye styes and athlete's foot

No offense intended but I wouldn't be so quick to blame eye styes and AF on celiac disease.  Not every medical problem in life is related to celiac disease.  Sometimes "stuff" just happens unrelated to celiac disease.   Esp. styes and AF which happen to so many people ALL. THE. TIME.   Sometimes, things are just a coincidence and happen after diagnosis with celiac disease.

true, and very possible...it's just that all these things happened in the months leading up to diagnosis...had never happened prior and has not happened since I went gluten free

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
