Psoriasis + Gluten rash?

Having cleared up my psoriasis for a couple of years it has started
appearing on my elbows at the same time as an eczema type rash on the outer
parts of my arms.

Reading Randall's posts got me looking at the sarcoidosis info. and googling
from that came across a rash the image of mine but called Dermatitis
herpetiformis, an allergy to gluten type rash.

This definitely rings a bell as I've steered clear of bread and wheat stuff
for several years and just, in the last few months, have gone back to french
baton rolls, butter and marmalade in the mornings.

I'm going to ask my doctor if it is possible that that might happen as I've
never had that type of rash before even in my bread eating days before my
dietary changes. (butter and marmalade (I've used throughout)! It's
definitely eczema according to the doctor and nurse I saw last week and not
anything fungal or worse. I'm getting tested for various stuff the next few
weeks though.

Do you think he will think me mad to suggest it or put it down to stress?
Blood pressure irregularities being one of the tests.

Sounds like a wheat allergy to me. Trust yourself to know yourself, and
definitely share your observations with your doctor so that he/she will
be better equipped to help you. Who knows your body better, your doctor
who sees you for an hour, or you who lives in your body all the time?
Equipped with your suspicions, the doctor will be better able to test
and treat you.

You don't need your doc to do that experiment though do you; it's all
under your control.

Any reason why you print the headers in your messages?
I'm not spamming you.

Only a daft piece of posting software. Does header-printing relate to
spamming then?
