Dermatitis Herpetaformis

I am 72 years old and been dignosed with DH 2 years ago. To date I have used Dapsone which controls the symptons.Now I have seen a gastroenterologist who wants me to stop the Dapsone and start a gluten free diet.I have tried it for 2 weeks already and no blister etc--but this whole diet has consumed my life -I can think of nothing else! I can see I will put on a lot of weight as everything is so full of caloties and so sweet---I am Diabetic also!--and am tired of eating like a rabbit with all these salads etc.--i do not like the pasta--so slimy. I need help and encouragement--and bread that tastes like real bread, english muffins that are not like hockey pucks and bakery items that don't crumble by the time I get home!
