I have been gluten free for about five years now. About two weeks ago, I got an itchy bump on my neck. The next day or so later

there were more in the same area. Now I have them grouped near my knee, back of the thigh, near my left hip/buttocks, and last night

i started breaking out on my forearm. This is so frustrating!! It's confusing because one girl I live with broke out a few days before

I did, but her doctor says it's psoraiasis rosaisia? Just last week I'm pretty sure I was glutened. I got fog brain after eating gluten-free

french toast (supposesedly gluten-free). It was the worst fog brain I'd ever had. I was super dizzy, I felt high, couldn't think. The only new

foods I had with that meal were cinnamon, alcohol free vanilla, and Brie cheese. I called the company for the brie and they confirmed

it gluten free, even stating their vinegar was derived from corn (although there was no vinegar in this cheese). Anyway..I'm just really

annoyed and I'd like some help. I thought I'd come here first, then go to a doctor just because of the lack of money right now.

Is it possible to develop DH years later? I never had a problem before..Also, does is show up when you're glutened? If so, how long does it

take to go away. Oh..also, I got some new body wash by Alba. I use their shampoo and conditioner, their body wash didnt seem to have gluten..

Maybe I should contact them to be safe. Is DH usually a reaction caused by internal or external glutening? IE gluten contact on the skin, or

ingesting it?

edit: I checked the Alba website, and they won't confirm gluten free because their veggie sources come from variable sources. I think every time I take a shower, I break out with a new rash..not positive.

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
