Is This Dh?

So I am still fairly new to all of this - gluten free for 7 weeks.. I recently realized I had a sensitivity to caisen as well, and had not only neuro symptoms flair, but also my GI symptoms (using the restroom 15 times a day again ugh) anyhow I also got blisters that itched on my fingers- only 3 or 4, but they were very noticable.. I realize I've had these most of my life from time to time and have always written it off as I got bit by something or a wierd heat rash etc.. Does that sound like DH to yall?? THanks in advance!

I had those all the time before I went gluten free. I've always wondered (in hindsight) if that was dh.

I did have a full blown dh rash the first time I had gluten after being clean for 8 weeks...that made me think back to those itchy bumps I got on my fingers, right at the joints.

I got those little blisters on my fingers between my fingers or on my joints...long before I got a full blown DH rash. I wish I had known that was DH back then. I always got it when I baked bread...little intensely itchy painful blisters...they went away in a few days. The later rashes lasted months and months..even gluten free...takes months to heal. Wish I had known then what I know now. It could be DH.

Thanks yall!! I couldn't describe them better myself- they are intensly itchy with a little burn! They have resolved now after I guess I got glutened last week - my GI symptoms flared and I became SUPER starving hungry a again for a few days (not a feeling I like at all)! but now all is calmed down thank goodness (except my neuro stuff, still waiting to see improvement there)!

      This older article makes me wonder about the GFCO and its protocols:

      I’ve been using almond flour from nuts.com for over 10 years. I have dermatitis herpetiformis all over. The rash started about two months ago. I finally eliminated the almond flour, labeled certified gluten free, two weeks ago, and I think the dermatitis herpetiformis is finally healing. I am so bummed.

      If you need that designation you'll likely need to switch to a different brand. It's unfortunate that they don't add it to their label and test for gluten.

      Thank you for the reply  , I have tried the Baush & Lomb brand and did have a gluten reaction.  O spoke to the mfg and they state the same as many other mfgs.   - NO Gluten intentionally added to product , but they have no control ( they choose not to) over their suppliers of various ingredients  I am really trying to only take vitamins  that clearly state gluten free

      DiGiorno reformulated and have not been using wheat starch for a couple of years now, so this should not be an issue: https://www.goodnes.com/digiorno/products/digiorno-gluten-free-frozen-pepperoni-pizza/ It does contain other ingredients that may be causing you IBS-like issues, for example guar gum.  Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:
