dermatitis herpetiformis - rare skin condition caused by gluten intolerance. It may cause extremely itchy skin rash that consists of red rashed patches and small blister, appearing on the elbow, buttocks and knees.
Of course, all of these symptoms can be indicative of a range of conditions and sufferers should always seek medical advise before assuming that gluten intolerance is the culprit. Once suspicions are confirmed, he or she should exclude all source of gluten or wheat, including wheat protein and wheat starch. Some people with gluten intolerance may also have allergic reaction to other grain such as rye, corn, and barley.
A person with gluten intolerance should always check product label. A product label gluten-free may also be wheat free, but this is not inevitable. There may certainly be no gluten but the product may contain wheat starch. Always check packaging or seek more information to avoid triggering the symptoms of gluten or wheat intolerance.
