Question by Koalamy: How long after eating gluten does a rash occur when you have Dermatitis Herpetiformis (Celiac of the Skin)?
Looking more for information as to how long after eating gluten before rash appears – I assume it’s not as quick as the GI issues but not sure. I don’t eat gluten – but have had restaurant mishap.

It usually lasts 1-2 weeks, but it depends on your gluten intake. The more cautious you are with your diet, the sooner it will disappear.

It varies from person to person. I haven’t had an outbreak of dermatitis Herpetiformis or of alopecia in years, despite breaking the gluten-free diet on several occasions. I used to get both of those within days of eating gluten. My father, who also has the disease, has never had either.
