Thanks for you quick response!! You just reiterated what I keep telling myself....but you know how it is...sometimes you just have to have someone else tell you

So about a month and a half ago I got this awful rash that itched like crazy after some research and lots of reading web pages, blogs, forums I suspected that I have DH. I have had digestive problems for almost 4 years and could never figure out what it was that was making me run to the bathroom 20-30 min after eating!! So I went to the doctor on March ...

Well it's been about 72 hours since my cortizone shot and the itch is still here...the rash has started to fade and is not so bright red, inflamed and angry looking.

Need some help! I have suspected that I have a gluten intolerance for awhile now due to my IBS and just not feeling 100%. Well about two weeks ago my whole body started to itch...no rash, no bumps, no visible signs of anything wrong. I ruled out the typical reasons for itching...no change in foods, no change in soap, no change in laundry soaps, no new pets...
