DH and covid

[CeCe22]

I developed Covid over a week ago. Since that time my rash has completely disappeared. I wish it would not come back!  😃

Did they give you anything for the Covid that might be working on the DH?

This is interesting and just goes to show you that viral infections can have many different side effects in different individuals. Some here have posted that they believe that a vaccine or infection may have triggered their celiac disease, and there is research that has linked the onset of celiac disease with certain infections, but not many have posted the relief of DH symptoms due to covid, so this is interesting!

Unfortunately it came back after 10 days. It sure was a nice relief!!!  I have had two other times in February 2022 and May 2022 that I was sick with bronchial infection and the rash cleared up during that time. However, both of those time the dr had given me a shot and predisone. With COVID they just told me to use Robitussin and Tylenol.

Is there any chance you're still getting trace amounts of gluten in your diet...perhaps if you eat outside your home?

We have been eating at home. Very seldom do we eat out and then I am very careful. However when I broke out again we had been eating at home for weeks and I was eating same thing I ate while I was clear? V.
