Hi Jo ,

I agree that gluten sensitivity deserves consideration, especially if he has other food sensitivities. You didn't describe the rash much, other than itchy. How wide spread is it? What areas? What does it look like?

Here are some links on the skin rash most associated with gluten sensitivity, dermatitis herpetiformis. DH is most often described as an itching blistering rash, although there is some variance in that. I would not expect most doctors, or even dermatologists, to recognize it. Here are some links.. there is a photo library in the last one with good pictures... of every day people with it. Sometimes, only the most extreme cases make the photo galleries, and not everyone has extreme cases.









My daughter had a recurring rash that looked like mosquito bites... that has never returned since we removed gluten. People describe all different rashes with gluten sensitivity.
