You can have DH or dermatitis herpetiformis and not celiac disease.

And of the people that are diagnosed with celiac disease around 10 percent to 25 percent of those people also have dermatitis herpetiformis.

However if you do not have celiac disease then there's not any food that you have to or need to avoid when you have dermatitis herpetiformis.

The vitamin deficiency that is associated with gluten sensitivity is vitamin B12.

Vitamin B12 which is absorbed in the lower part of your small intestine is a common deficiency that is seen in people with celiac disease.

Gluten exposure in people with celiac disease damages the villi, making it hard for the body to absorb nutrients necessary for health and growth. Celiac disease is an illness caused by an immune reaction to eating gluten.

Gluten is a protein found in foods containing wheat, barley or rye.

When a celiac accidentally eats gluten they will experience abdominal pain, stomach cramping and possible diarrhea and bloating.

A celiac flare up will feel like stomach cramping and abdominal pain.

When you eat gluten with celiac disease your stomach will feel like it's cramping and you will experience abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation and diarrhea.

The five common symptoms of a gluten allergy are nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea.

Other common symptoms of a gluten allergy are hives or skin rash, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, headaches, asthma and anaphylaxis which is a potentially life threatening reaction which can impair breathing and send your body into shock.

Gluten intolerance can cause weight gain although weight gain with a gluten intolerance is not as common as weight loss.

When you have a gluten intolerance the body has trouble absorbing the gluten protein that's found in rye, barley and wheat.

The first signs of being gluten intolerant are fatigue, diarrhea or constipation, depression, brain fog, trouble concentrating, gas or bloating, anxiety, anemia and abdominal pain.

Most people experience symptoms of gluten intolerance within an hour after eating or drinking something that contains gluten.

Other people may experience a delayed gluten reaction, where the symptoms appear after 12 hours or more.

Oatmeal does not have gluten as oats are naturally gluten free.

However some people with celiac disease still have reactions to oats due to a protein in oats called avenin that can trigger a similar response to gluten.

Soy sauce that contains gluten is bad for gluten intolerance.

However there are some versions of soy sauce that are gluten free which are okay for people with gluten intolerance.

If you have a gluten intolerance you should use the gluten free soy sauce.

Most soy sauce varieties contain gluten, but tamari soy sauce is generally gluten-free. Gluten-free soy sauce made with rice is also an option.

If you're allergic to soy then you will likely have allergic reactions when eating soy sauce because soy sauce contains soy.

So if you have soy allergies you should avoid soy sauce.

If you have a soy allergy and are highly allergic to soy then you should avoid soy sauce.

If you're just slightly allergic to soy then eating a tiny bit of soy sauce should not be a problem but be aware that you can get affected by the soy sauce when you are allergic to soy sauce.

I would just recommend staying away from soy sauce when you have a soy allergy.

When you're allergic to soy you should avoid any food contain soy including soy milk.

Eating or consuming anything that contains soy when you're allergic to soy can cause the allergic reaction to the soy.

So it's best to avoid the soy based food products when you do have an allergy to the soy.

But if not you do so at your own risk.

A bottle of soy sauce that has not been opened will last for up to 3 years before it goes bad.

So you can keep a sealed bottle of soy sauce for up to 3 years in the pantry or just out on the counter at room temperature and it will remain good and safe to use for up to 3 years.

An opened bottle of soy sauce will usually last for up to 2 years as long as you keep the bottle of soy sauce refrigerated and sealed when not using it.

Opened soy sauce is okay and safe to stay at room temperature for up to the 2 years.

However refrigerating soy sauce keeps it fresher longer and helps the soy sauce retain it's flavor.

So it's best to refrigerate the bottle of soy sauce after opening to make it last longer if you're not gonna use it up within a few months.
