Iodine And Dh

[Sam81]

I am posting this in the DH section as IF I have celiac - it's DH. I've had NOTHING for breakfast except a cup of what I call "Posh Coffee" (sachets of flavoured coffee - my treat most mornings) and within 45mins to an hour my rash is full on and driving me insane. I know with some DH sufferers they need to limit Iodine which is in most Salt. Could my coffee be sparking me off?? Here are the ingredients. I know some E numbers contain iodine and have tried investigating the E numbers in my coffee but I can't fine the stabilising ones anywhere! This list is gfor a Vanilla Latte but I also have Caramel and Mocha's - Ingredients for Vanilla are:

Sugar

Skimmed milk powder

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Instant Coffee (10%)

Dried Glucose Syrup

Lactose-Whey Permeate

Lactose

Flavourings

Thickener E466

Milk Proteins

Stabilisers (E340ii, E452i, E331iii)

Salt

Thank you to all you helpful people!! Please feel free to look at pictures of my rash in my other post titled "pictures of my rash" - funnily enough...

Incase it's relevant I live in the UK.

I don't know what the labeling laws are where you are but I would call the company and ask what the items I bolded are derived from. I think a wheat or barley derived ingredient are more likely the issue. I would also ask if the salt they use is iodized but don't think it likely it is.

On top of that some people find coffee is an issue. Something about the molecule being similar to gluten.

I thought at one point it was irritating me. I'm not really sure - formed a chai habit. I don't think that's technically any better but oh well...
