Horrible Reaction, Gassy, Need Recovery Help

About three months ago I began taking my intolerance to gluten very seriously. When ingested I get "the feeling", extremely bloated, lingering gas smells, and very foul smelling stool. It's been so bad I have been embarrassed in social situations. About a two weeks ago I started craving bad foods and went off the diet a few times. Last Monday I ate Pizza for lunch (bad bad boy) and I paid dearly for it. Usually I can recover quickly from cheating but it has gotten much worse since I have been staying on gluten-free diet. After a few days I was ok, with the exception of extreme gas after eating lactose, meats and eggs. A new symptom is occurring - After making a BM and being glutened, when I sit down I am exerting gas to the point where other people have noticed. This could be up to an hour after going to the bathroom. I am wondering what I should eat to heal my insides. I still (a week after) feel torn up and am trying to be good but noticing that heartier foods still aren't being digested properly. Should I just keep eating bland for a while? Will the gas and strong odored stool get better?

Keep bland until your body can handle it.

Probiotics.

Digestive enzymes with every meal.

No refined carbs or starches.

Make sure your supplaments are gluten-free.

Maybe an anti-gas med?

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

      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.
