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.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
