just wondering how long the itching can go on for after starting G/F diet?

[zebedee83]

I have had a positive blood test a month ago ,as my daughter has CD I have put myself on G/F diet.wondering if it may be something else causing the itching.

Am not sure about that, but just to say my blood test was positive, but still had to have endoscopy for 100% result, as apparently that is what you have to have

Thanks for your reply, is that just for someone to say you need to go on a G/F diet?

Hi zebedee, sometimes it can depend on just how 'gf' you are. I found that I had to cut out all processed 'gf' foods (especially baked goods incl 'gf' bread), coffee, most sugars (glucose, fructose and lactose) and other items too before I felt better. It may be worth doing an elimination diet to see if anything is setting you off? Good luck!

Thanks Lexy.trying to stay off all gluten and processed g/f foods. But will look at the other things you mentioned.

Do you have DH? I do so even though I'm GF I still find triggers - too much fish in a week, etc. (There are a lot of threads about Dermatitis Herpetiformis for more info if you look on here.)
