Gluten Sensitivity Symptoms

8. Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a skin condition that only occurs in people who have problems with gluten. It happens because some people develop an immune reaction to the gluten, and this results in the release of IgA antibodies. These antibodies can accumulate just beneath the skin, and this results in the symptoms experienced.
Dermatitis herpetiformis can cause quite a nasty and unsightly rash that can result in blisters on the skin. There is no cure for the condition, but medication is available that can help to soothe the symptoms. Some other skin conditions like psoriasis have also shown improvement in people who switch to a gluten-free diet.
