ARCHIVED Another "could This Be" Case
susan-2424 replied to susan-2424's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I had some bowel issues just this morning, not long after I had my coffee with creamer. I have coffeemate, which claims to be gluten free, but I was wondering if maybe I could have issues with casein as well.

I think I may have DH. I broke out in a rash beginning of November, mostly on my arms and hips. Went to the doctor, he said it was eczema, and prescribed a cream, told me to use a lot of moisturizer, and gave me a script for prednisone because it was pretty bad. The prednisone helped, but as soon as I went off it the rash spread all over. I've done...
