Is This Dh?

Initially at the time of my dx in 2006 - I had symmetrical itchy rashes that would not heal. They did once I went gluten-free. For several months I would still get the itch at the areas where the rash had been. It was good - as it soon taught me to eat gluten-free and where the hidden Gluten lurked!

Long story but I was at a function with family 4 days ago and as two of them say they are gluten-free as well - I ordered the same food as them. gluten-free Grilled fish. It came served on a bed of hot chips which freaked me so I made the girl ask the kitchen twice if they were gluten-free.

Within 5 mins I felt stomach pain which told me that the meal had Gluten. I have had symptoms ever since...so know it did. Now - I have this intense itchy hard ( not fluid filled ) lump on my upper foot. Could it be DH ? It is a bit red around now as well. I can barely put a shoe on - itchy as anything...

I have had them start like that. Mosquito bite-like. It could be a lesion beginning but if you don't get any more gluten maybe it won't make an oozy blister rash. I will be interested to hear what happens. Sorry about the gluten meal. It sucks knowing that you will be in for it. I hope it goes away soon. I use Walgreens brand of Pain Relieving Ointment. It numbs the pain and itch of DH and it is only benzocaine. Works great.

How do you add pics ? I found some cream and that seems to be helping the itch. Hope it goes away soon.
