Hi

I only just saw this thread down at the bottom of the list!

I'm new (though have beenr eading and posting a bit higher up the board), so I'll just recap

Have had D, migraines, bloating, gas, acne etc for ages and bought the York IgG Elisa test a year or so ago, but only just got around to taking it.

Apparantly I have higher than normal amounts of things that came up - scoring 1-4 (4 being highest it can be):

Dairy (4)

Wheat 2

Gluten/glidin 2

Corn 1

Egg white 2

Egg yolk 1

Molluscs mix (!) 1

carrot 1

Kiwi 1

Garlic 1

Ginger 1

sesame seed 1

Coffee 1

Yeast 1

and 15 that came up in the moderate reaction so I should rotate those

I spoke to a nutritionist and she said to cut out dairy and gluten definitely, and eggs - which I have done for 3 or 4 weeks now (I hope! not used to all the things they can be found in yet). Another nutritionist said I should also cut out yeast, as that might be one of the main probs, even though it only came up as a 1..which I did for a while, then forgot and had a wine sauce..so leaving that one for now.

They both mentioned that I might have a leaky gut (also nearly died from spontaneous peritionitis, so was on strong antibiotics after my op - not sure if I think that the bacteria got across through my leaky gut, or that the antibiotics caused some inbalance, which lead to the leaky gut), so I've got some good probiotics too (just got them yesterday)

Anyway, enough of the rambling..now I'll read this whole new set of posts I've just discovered!

Going gluten-free, dairy free, and egg free should clear up a lot of your problems.

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application.  And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me.  May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis. Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.
