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.
