Awesome! I think I will be enjoying my favorite beer for the next few weeks then.

Ugh! So I need to eat gluten for 12 weeks? Would it be the same for a blood test? I started eating gluten last night. I don't have any new rash yet but I find mine takes 24 hours minimum to show up. I have talked to my doctor about doing the celiac panel and if I need to eat gluten longer, I will postpone the appointment. On the bright side? Beer and...

The allergist is the one who said I couldn't possibly have any form of celiac because I didn't have painful stomach/intestinal symptoms.

Yeah this derm doctor I saw last pretty much quoted the Heath line website on the areas DH can be like it was a set thing. And she did suggest that it was in my head and maybe I should talk to someone about my stress....I think she was not happy I brought her info and voiced an opinion.

Ok I would love to not have a gluten issue but I can't ignore some of the symptoms. But every dermatologist is a hard no on DH. What do those of you actually who have been diagnosed with DH think? Symptoms are as follows. I lived with the rash for about 4 months. I tried creams, anti fungals, Benadryl.....nothing even made a dent in this rash....
