 In 2010, "Cutis" reported an eruption labelled "gluten-sensitive dermatitis" which is clinically indistinguishable from dermatitis herpetiformis, but lacks the IgA connection, similar to gastrointestinal symptoms mimicking coeliac disease but without the diagnostic immunological markers.A strict gluten-free diet must be followed, and usually, this treatment will be a lifelong requirement.Avoidance of gluten will reduce any associated intestinal damage and the risk of other complications.
