Can anyone out there offer any suggestions to relieve the intense itching
from DH? Is there something topical that I can apply? Any ideas as to
why I have suddenly broken out again with a DH rash even though I've been GF
for a couple years? Yes, I do have an occasional accidental ingestion of
hidden glutens, but not often.
Can stress aggravate the condition to the point where it flares up again?
I've been under a lot of stress recently. The thought occurred to me that
stress may be the culprit. Is caffeine harmful (I drink a lot of tea)? At
the time when I was diagnosed with DH, my doctor did not put me on Dapsone
because I had the rash under control simply by staying GF and he felt that
the medication wasn't needed. I totally agreed.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
