Dh Rash?

I have tiny water blisters on my left foot toes. My hands are very dry and ichy elbows. Does this sound like DH? It is winter and it has gotten worse. It clears up for a few weeks and then flares up again. Is there anything I can do to help this or is it just like every other symptom that I have to give time for healing and be patient?

I get the water blisters on the soles of my feet/toes but also on my hands and fingers. They are so itchy it makes me crazy. After I stopped eating gluten it mostly went away but not completely. I finally figured out that corn was also a problem for me and it triggered the water blisters so I don't eat corn anymore (it's in everything). The only time I get them now is if I accidently ingest either wheat gluten or corn.

I also just found out that I have a Vitamin D deficiency and while researching that I found a link that lists a bunch of deficiencies related to Celiacs and the symptoms they can present. I'm going to ask my doctor for a test on all the possible deficiencies.

Scaly dermatitis or acrodermatitis -Zinc and essential fatty acid deficiencies

You might just need more time to heal or it could be another food is causing a problem for you or maybe get tested for deficiencies also.

      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.
