If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch: -

You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency. -

Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%.

We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott. In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend. We sent them information, with no response. I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach. Saying if you see this, it is Celiac. If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care. Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system. There is so much false information on the internet. Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone. Scott has working hard for the Celiac community. -

Very careful about any cross contamination. This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.
