I'm so glad I found this blog post! A few months ago I started a gluten free diet, since nothing else was helping what I thought was psoriasis on my scalp. I looked up dermatitis herpetiformis on medical websites and saw descriptions of painful blisters. I had itchy, sometimes painful scabs several places. I guess I only noticed anything was wrong after I'd scratched myself enough to end up with scabs! I'm sure I have celiacs (based on a whole range of changes since going gluten free) but seeing other people describe DH as itchy scabs, not blisters!

I found it through a google search and now plan to have a blood test ordered for my daughter. She's had 'skin crud' for weeks and it sure looks like many photos connected to secondary Celiac symptoms. Yikes!
