    I was tested by an environmental allergist 12 months ago using injections on back (bubble tests) and was highly reactive to gluten,corn, dairy, sugar cane, cassein ,and somewhat to tomatoes and avocado. I recently had bloodwork at a wellness center which included IgG blood work for food sensitivities. They were aware that I had been avoiding those...

    Does iodine cause a DH rash to flare up? Do salyclyates cause some DH sufferers trouble? The question is not if corn causes DH ..but whether it can causes a DH rash flare up

    My history is. Typical to most posters...they find this forum after they have struggled for months. That's when we learn about the problems with a biopsy after steroids or blood work after going gluten-free. I have discussed my history on other threads and was trying to save everyone from a tedious story. So yes, I was biopsied and had bloodwork that...

    I am sensitive to corn (diarrhea ) The reason this all is on my mind because I'm seeing an environmental allergist next week out of desperation. He comes with a great reputation for being thorough and a great sleuth /detective type. Quick recap : I never had any rashes until August 2014. Random stomach issue over the years and then slowly escalating rashes...

    LOL So at the risk of being b%$@# slapped... Are you saying foods that I have a sensitivity to will not cause a flare up?

    I have been tapering off my dapsone and thinking I was getting better, but recently entered back into the world of Itching. My idea of "healthy" is still have a rash on my lower back and neck hairline and sporadic patches on armpits etc...but 1/3 of what I used to have and .but significantly less itch.. I'm pretty confident that I have avoided gluten...

    http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/garden-of-life-raw-meal-original-2-6-lb-powder/gu-7019#.U3qa7ye9KSM I suffer from DH and have not had the discipline to go paleo, or elimination diet , but have a low iodine, whole food, etc diet. I continue the no gluten, no dairy battle, have reduced my dapsone to 25 mgs 2xday I was wondering if the the garden of life...

    Oh crap... I am sooooo embarrassied. Yes...y'all are correct ...and I am going to hide now. Digestive enzyme was changed. By auto correct. I am sorry...

    I give up...no I am not ingesting iodine....no I am not taking an iodine supplement. What I said is that when I ingest iodine...ie when I ingest a food that has iodine I react...ie I get itchy. I was trying to find out more about the link wine has to leaky gut.
  10. Blaze422
    Foods that have iodine make me itch...hence ingesting iodine. Prickly...help me out!

    In contrast when my son in law has gluten and gets cramps, foggy brain and flu like symptoms...gluten makes me itch and have rashes.(dermatits herpetaformis)...not necessarily immediately. Ingesting iodine makes itching worse. I have found no connection between caffeine, wine in my symptoms...however..., I take probiotics, digestive iodine, black seed...
  12. Blaze422
    In dealing with my DH, I am open to eliminating anything and everything that worsens the itch. So not only am I gluten-free, I am low iodine and low salycylates. (Lot as obsessed about the low Sal) I was drinking 2-3 glasses of red wine and 2-3 cups of instant caffeinated coffee, then in my attempt to go low Sal I switched to de-caf coffee and gin (lLOL...

    Becky, hang in there...I totally sympathize and empathize. Dave...can you elaborate on what you mean by your liver enzymes went up after you went gluten-free.. Itchy...can you elaborate on what a kitchen purge is? I share a house with a gluten eating dog and wife.

    Actually, in defense of my dermatologist , she is very open minded. After being confident of her initial diagnosis of exzema, when I returned 10 days later with beet red elbows, I said that I know she thinks this is exzema...but I'm thinking....and she completed my thought by saying...Dermatijts herpetaformis. I said thank you jesus! She confesses limited...

    Quick recap.. I used steroid creams so negative biopsy for DH May or not be accurate. Migrating rash that was bilateral, non responsive to steroids and reactive to iodine. back, chest, arms, elbows, not in folds etc...and although my wife said it was exzema..I am convinced its not. Itch however, only 4 on a scale of 10 Dapsone significantly decrease...

    Itchy...I know there's an area for recipes but I have to share this with you. For New Years my wife made black eyed peas ( not sure the specifics) but I put it over a bed of sweet potato/apple mash. You take an equal amount of pealed sweet potatoes and apples and after dicing them, add a little water and simmer medium heat ,covered for 20 minutes. Stir...

    Now you understand why I drink..Or at least why I drank..LOL If you try to avoid dairy, it has carrageenan. You try to avoid carrageenan and it has iodine. You try to avoid iodine and it is high is salycylates. I am getting better and am trying not to drive my wife nuts. Fanatical about avoiding gluten in food, lotions, shampoos etc Trying to be...

    Silk pure almond milk..no carrageenan
  19. Blaze422
    Good stuff...thanks. I'm thinking almond milk is safe and a good source for calcium.
  20. Blaze422
    Ok...not to over analyze it...but why stop now?.. Are you both saying the flare up would result in both increasing itchiness and ALSO spreading/increased reddening of the rash? I realize everyone is different, but I'm wondering if iodine will cause a relapse of the healing/ a new area of rash,/ a darker hue to the rash....or merely a temporary worsening...
  21. Blaze422
    Congrats for sure! Squirmy....when you say you would test iodine...can you explain what you mean...what you did? Also, do you season with non-iodized salt...my understanding is it taste essentially the same.
  22. Blaze422
    As my rashes are slowly going away ( diet and dapsone ) one of the reasons I am pretty sure I have DH is that itching increases with salty foods. I understand that gluten will cause antibody production and the longer I stay off gluten, then less reactive ..(ie..less antinbodiy prduction) will result from accidental ingestion of gluten. Does iodine cause...

    I'm going to take back my thread before it gets totally hijacked.... Do the veterans on this board put any stock into the "leaky gut" hypothesis? It is above my pay grade to discuss/ re-hash the auto-immune vs allergy discussion, but one of the reasons I am attempting to go low Sal is my attempt to eliminate anything that my encourage a auto-immune response...
  24. Blaze422
    Not to sound like a grizzly old veteran, I have a hard time understanding why you were taking dapsone and not gluten-free. When you were diagnosed with DH...you had regular blood tests and had your o2 levels checked but never heard that you needed to be gluten free?
  25. Blaze422
    Y'all are awesome for contributing to my understanding...Thanks!,,,
