Recent Diagnosis - Dh & Celiac

[jammom]

I was diagnosed with DH and thus Celiac Sprue. I've been gluten-free for nearly two months now, strict adherence including label reading, medications etc. I'm still experiencing breakouts on my knees, hands, elbows, ears, and recently around my eyes. Do I need to make sure my make-up, lotions, creams, etc. are gluten-free?

For some folks, it does. Sounds like it's time to go gluten-free with everything that touches your body!

It took about 6 months for my rashes to go away after going completely gluten-free, and can take 1-2 years for some people. If I get glutened then the areas of the rashes tend to be itchy for a few days, but no bumps. I had to go completely gluten-free because even minor cc caused me problems. I'm more sensitive to gluten now than before I went gluten-free. You may be still getting some cc, or your detox may just need some time.

i only have a small patch on my stomach... it flared up a few weeks after i went 100% gluten free. i continue to eat sea salt & seafood (iodine).. and have not been able to eliminate irritating foods like Dairy or Corn..

anyways, im starting my 5th month gluten free- and i also started applying this Silver ointment from whole foods- and the itch is gone, and it is STARTING to fade..

I went with "Surface" for my hair products and check all other I put on me! I had significant hair loss and changing shampoo REALLY helped!
