Hi Channing, I don't have answers. but I have questions. Have you had genetic testiing for celiac disease. Have you asked for a celiac panel on a blood draw?

You have many common symptoms of someone who could have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Have you been to a Gastroenteroligist? That's where I would start. Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Have you ever tried being gluten free?

Certainly all of your symptoms are on the list of Celiac/Gluten Intolerance symptoms.

If you can't or don't want to do the testing, give yourself a good few months being gluten free to see what can resolve if anything.

Your symptoms *could* be Celiac..but they could also be something else, which is why it's hard to know without getting tested.

You should contact your Dr. and request the tests. Once you know for sure you'll know if it would be best to be gluten-free, and if you're Celiac the test results should help you understand you need to say on a gluten-free diet for life. Without the tests you may always wonder...

      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.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      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%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

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

Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.
