Is Gluten Intolerance, Related With Itchy Rashes?

Sir, when I take non veg food items like chicken, fish etc., I feel itches over my legs, hand especially below the knee portion and elbows. Even while taking some cereals like green grams, ground nuts, etc, the same type itches starts. Is it related to DH or gluten intolerance? Kindly given your opinion. Thanks
