Thanks so much to all of you who have given me advice! Vanessa Hansen, it is great to hear from someone who can tell first hand what has helped! I am learning as I go. I have certainly discovered that my soaps and shampoo affect me..my husband has even switched with me as we use the same shower and he doesn't want his soap to cause any problems.

Hi Anita!I know how you feel! I have DH too. What has helped the most is taking Terrazyme with every meal. (I take all three capsules). The LLV pack has also helped. Of course I avoid all forms of Gluten, and even Gluten free products too. Unless it's Quinoa noodles. . . The oil that has been the most helpful has been GERANIUM. It's been amazing for me. when I have a flare up, I put 2-3 drops of oil on a glob of the doTERRA lotion and rub it everywhere I itch. I have also used Peppermint for itching. And occasionally lemon, lavender and peppermint. You may also want to get an additional allergy test done to see if anything else is contributing. For example, I flare up when I cut potatoes.A couple of other helps, are to switch your bathroom products. I only use the soap and shampoo and skin care from doTERRA now too. I know for sure that extra chemicals aggravates my already sensitive skin.I hope this is helpful. The other suggestions (like GX/PB assist) are also super. But as for managing the itch and making sure my digestion is great, Terrazyme and Geranium are my must haves.Good luck!!!Vanessa

I have had trouble with a terrible skin rash that came out on my arms and neck only since January. I am 44 and have had an extreme lack of vitamin D that I have been taking 50,000 iu's for about 6 months yet still register only a 12 in my blood work. I also have a lack of folic acid. My body seems not to absorb these things.I have been to many doctors and taken an enormous list of medications including three rounds of steroids. I have been told I have poison sumac,shingles,and a host of other things;yet noone has been able to help. My rash got so bad my arms swelled up and blistered up then cracked. I had to sleep with ice packs wrapped around my arms and on my neck just for a little relief. I was finally sent to an allergist/auto immune specialist where I was told he was not sure but did not think I had DH (form of celiac). Along with all this came stomach aches,headaches, fatigue, and a host of other problems not seemed to be cared about by any doctor. When I decided to go gluten free just to try anything for relief, my arms had cleared up considerably. I have now got the rash all over my body although it is much better.
When I am around gluten of any kind or form, I break out almost immediately and itch terribly. If I eat something that has come in contact with glutten I will begin to blister up as I eat. I really need help as this rash is extremely itchy and sometimes I have no idea what I have come in contact with. ( I even wear gloves when I am prepare food for my family.)
Can anyone give advice or help on what I should do to help?
