Do you feel like wearing medical alert jewelry is necessary for a Celiac? What about for children who may be fed at school/church/playdates, etc?

*MOST* people don't think anything of feeding a child. Unfortunately a bracelet is unlikely to help stop that. Teaching the child rules about taking food from people is the most important thing. The purpose of the medic alert bracelets is more for emergency personal.

My child does wear one for life threatening food allergies. Celiac isn't even listed on the bracelet but it is in his file that is connected with his ID.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease.

      Lot's of sugar can throw you gut microbiome off balance, and I'm not sure how that plays into DH, but it's certainly known that sugar can cause an unhealthy gut flora balance.

According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:
