If Going Gluten-free Made It Go Away, Was It Dh?

I'm about seven months into this and it just occurred to me for the first time yesterday that maybe I had DH. I've had some inexplicable bumps/blisters on my butt for as long as I can remember, and occasionally some on my elbows, but I checked and they are now gone! I don't know when they went away, I never thought much of them. They were just always there. They didn't itch except when I had them on my elbows. Even then they didn't itch much.

What do you think?

It is possible. But some people just get good ol eczema too. Skin issues are common with Celiac and they are not all DH. You could challenge gluten and if they come back get a proper biopsy of the skin along side of the rash. This is the ONLY true way to know if it is DH. But if you are feeling better, I doubt you want to eat gluten again just to find out. <_<

Thanks for the reply. I'll pass on the gluten challenge. Going gluten free has been miraculous for me; I'd never go back. :)

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Yes, @trents is right, ascorbic acid can be irritating. Do you take it with food? Do you take other supplements or vitamins? Do you eat processed meats? Is your diet high in carbohydrates?

      Be careful with C supplementation. It's ascorbic "acid". Too much can cause stomach and gut irritation.
