Is it possible to have DH symptoms in reaction to other foods in
addition to gluten?  After having an itchy, tiny-blistery, crusty patch
on my hand for nearly 20 months (it started when I was 7 months pregnant
and was really unbearable for the last 2-3 months before going gf), I
tried to trace a food connection and reacted to gluten after a period of
fasting from it for 2 weeks.  I thought I had found the problem, because
for 2 months without gluten, my hand cleared up quite nicely.  Now, for
the past week or so, my hand has been blistering like it had before
going gf.  I'm in a quandary.  Also, I'm a bit confused as to what kind
of doc would be the most helpful.  A dermatologist, an allergist, or a
GI familiar with CD (do they deal with DH, too?)  Thanks, Amy
