For the past week and a half I have been getting tiny red itchy bumps
scattered about my body. They seem to have a small amount of clear fluid in
them.  My family practicioner thinks its an allergic reaction to something.
My dermatologist thinks it may be DH.  She took 2 skin biopsies but I will
not get the results back until late next week.  I was diagnosed with CD in
Dec. 95 and have been on a strict gluten free diet (except for occasional
accidents with hidden gluten) ever since.  I have never had DH.

My questions:
- Can DH occur in someone who has never had it and while on a gluten free diet?
- Does my description of the problem sound like DH?

I would appreciate comments from anyone who has had experience with this.
Please email me privately.

Thanks,
Denise in VA
