How long after consuming gluten does dermatitis herpetiformis appear?
Okay… so after a gluten sensitive person consumes gluten, does dermatitis herpetiformis appear on the skin, an hour later, a day, a week… how long?

There isn’t a definitive answer. It depends on how sensitive you are. Also not all gluten sensitive people develop DH.
Here is a quote from Dr Green’s book, Celiac Disease- A Hidden Epidemic.
“There is a definite spectrum of sensitivity to gluten in those with DH, and some people are exquisitely sensitve to even trace amounts. The occurrence of lesions after an ingestion of gluten (anywhere for several hours to several days) is another indication of this condition.”
