Finally 18 months later, my skin is itch free and 100% clear! So thankful!

My last post was over a year ago when I was just clearing up from months of strict gluten free eating after cheating heavily over the holidays of 2021. I did mostly clear up but always had some itch and rash in my scalp for the most part and off and on my lower back, elbows and knees. After a few months it wasn't bad but it was never completely clear. I can report after another 14 months or so of strictly watching what I eat at all times, FINALLY, I have completely clear skin with no rash or itch anywhere. It feels so good to be normal! I post this to give others hope that are suffering from this dreadful disease. You CAN do it. It's frustrating at times, especially with family when you have to sit and watch them eat great gluten laden food at restaurants and the like, but I did it and am so happy I did. Now to maintain and keep this going. Good luck to all just starting this journey, life can get back to normal!

That's great news!

Any info you can pass on to other here who are struggling with DH would be fantastic, but either way, thank you for the update!

Well the only thing I can add is that I've had to be very careful and eat at home 99.9% of the time. Luckily there are a lot of good tasting gluten free foods and snacks available these days that make you feel like you aren't really missing out. Many of them I found through ads on this site! It's so wonderful to have smooth soft elbows and scalp again and no itch whatsoever. I plan on not cheating this time and maintain my great DH free skin!
