Rash Started During Pregnancy

Hi there, I am wondering if anyone else has had anything related...

I have celiacs and every now and then I will have a little wheat. It usually never bothered me if I ate a little - just a little stomach ache the next day. When I got pregant and ate it, I noticed a rash on my elbow and hip. It went away after awhile & a couple weeks ago I ate some oatmeal & bought a soap that had oatmeal in it and it flared up - guess that oats have gluten in it...opps.

My dr. doesn't seem to pay attention to that I have celiac disease...this is a different dr. than the one that diagnosed it. He gave me some cream to put on it but its not getting much better. How long does the rash stay for?

I also have spot on the back of my head thats red, flakey and itchy(no bumps). I'm not sure if this is related b/c I also have alopecia, where I loose my hair.

The rash I have on my knees, elbows and hips are raised, red, itchy bumps.

Both seemed to flare when aroudn the time I would have conceived.

Would love any ideas for homeopathic remedies too:)

      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:

      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.
