Connection Between Dh And Rls

When I have an outbreak of DH, it seems that I always develop acute problems with Restless Legs Syndrome.

While I realize that some of this might be related to general anxiety about having DH, are there more substantial and verified connections between the two disorders?

Thanks for any help!

Hi! I found this article tonight. Your question interested me because I've been having RLS type symptoms lately. Interestingly enough, my ferritin is low so maybe this is why so this article helped me although I am allergic to wheat and do not have celiac's. Maybe it will be helpful for you.

I get that too, but especially if I have been itching a lot. The whole thing makes me nervous and very agitated. I have to take benedryl; I had atarax but only one refill for 30 when it was really bad. Need more.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
