I am covered miserably in rashes. I used to get hives a lot when I was young and my mom had me use oatmeal in my bath. I got a second degree sunburn once and my doc said use aveeno bc the oats in the lotion are good for the skin. So I bought aveeno oatmeal bath and dr teals oat milk bath. Then I questioned it bc of the oat issue. Are these products safe and okay to use since they contain oats or should I avoid ? I’m desperate for something soothing to my skin

I had been using Aveeno before my diagnosis, and figured out it was causing me issues, probably I was touching my skin, a simple scratch could do it, and it getting to my mouth. I can tolerate oats but only if they are the Purity Protocol oats, which aren't what would be in Aveeno or any body or skin products. If Purity Protocol would be used, the company would surely brag about that as it's very expensive.

Thank you so much for responding! I was beginning to feel silly for posting my question. I tossed the aveeno and other oatmeal bath items I had.. bc I didn’t know what to do.. but man those oats are in so many bath things!! I had no idea. I did purchase some gluten free colloidal oat stuff on Amazon .. hoping it’s okay

If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Thank you! I wasn’t aware of iodine. So no iodized salt? That’s what I always use bc of thyroid??
I am currently waiting to get in with dermatology. I feel like this rash is definitely related to gluten bc it has appeared off and on for months now and it occurs in the same spots each time. It has me miserable!! It just keeps getting worse or flares back up, especially after sitting or sweating or heat or anything like that. It’s driving me mentally insane! It looks like a lot of the pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis on the net as well. 
 What sucks is I realized in all this process I wasn’t doing the gluten free thing 💯 right again 🤦🏼‍♀️ as in correctly reading labels and hidden gluten in ingredients, not double checking labels and foods instead of making assumptions, not been avoiding cross contact correctly , haven’t been checking skin products or checking meds and supplements and vitamins etc., so in going back to food journals an checking products and meds and supplements etc I now know that I have had gluten off and on , sometimes a lot and sometimes only a little, with a rare break of no gluten for maybe 2 weeks since December of last year- so that’s like 6-7 Months of gluten   🤦🏼‍♀️😫

Not all people with DH react to iodine, and if you have a thyroid condition be sure to discuss any cuts in iodine with your doctor. Some people with DH may have an issue with iodine.

Okay thanks for the information! So since I’m looking at 6-7 months that I have had some level of exposure to gluten off and on, am I basically back at the beginning starting completely over with healing and all that?

There is no way to tell for sure, this would depend on the level of exposure and the time period, and it would be different for each person. 

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Okay thanks! I am going back to the beginning and re-learning things and trying to figure it all out… again 🫤thanks for the great information!

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      Help needed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!

      I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like nerve pain (left leg) and mucosal ulcers—suggests there may be overlapping conditions at play, such as autoimmune comorbidities (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s), nutrient deficiencies, or even refractory celiac disease (though rare). Stanford is an excellent step forward, as their specialists may uncover missed connections. The medical gaslighting you’ve endured is unacceptable, and while legal action is an option, focusing on thorough testing (e.g., repeat endoscopy, micronutrient panels, autoimmune markers, skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis) might be more immediately helpful. Menopause can absolutely exacerbate underlying inflammation, so hormonal imbalances should also be explored. For symptom relief, some in the celiac community find low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or mast cell stabilizers helpful for systemic issues, but a functional medicine doctor (if accessible) could tailor supplements to your needs. You’re not alone in this fight—keep advocating fiercely at Stanford. Document everything meticulously; it strengthens both medical and potential disability claims. Sending you strength—this shouldn’t be so hard, and you deserve real solutions.
