I am a self-diagnosed GI.  I get fever blisters/cold sores (dermatitis herpetiformis?) from stress/illness/slight sunburn/certain foods(GI foods especially).

When I have the blisters I feel nervous, restless and short of breath.
There are also times when I do not have the blisters (i.e. without stress/illness/sunburn), yet I experience similar syptoms.  Are these symptoms of gluten intolerance?

Throughout my life I have tried various homeopathic remedies/General Practitioner meds/breathing exercises/a psychologist!/aromatherapy oils etc. to try and alleviate these symptoms but I haven't managed to "hit the nail on the head" yet.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would prefer natural remedies if possible.
