Now since barley has moved onto a cereal free food he has stopped his itching and skin irritation, and to prove this for the last 10 days he has been on a bag of pero gold which is not cereal free, and his itching has started again, not badly but it is noticeable as he has got red spots on his belly again, i never noticed how much different he was on a cereal free diet.
Now if he does not get switched over to raw then he will be on a cereal free food, but we don't know what food, he can not have duck as that makes his itching worse but he can have everything else.

Taste of the wild is grain free but not the cheapest. A small bag does jasper a couple of months but barley is probably 4x his size! Lilys kitchen is also mainly grain free (both dry and wet) although there are some types of their food that do have cereals in. Glad to hear you found the cause

barley only eats between 250g-300g a day and sometimes only half of that a day

Going cereal and duck free will hopefully help his skin but as you have mentioned that he also has joint issues it may be worth noting that a lot of food replace rice with potato so you may need to look for cereal free, potato free and duck free foods.
There is a train of thought that imply potatoes are not the best thing to feed for joints.
Cereal free and duck free options include but not limited to:-
Orijen adult Orijen six fish Orijen regional red
Acana Regionals Wild Prairie Acana Regionals Pacifica Acana Regionals Ranchlands
Canagan chicken Canagan salmon
Purizon fish fish4dogs (whole range I believe is grain free)
ones which are lower price tag but also tend to be lower meat
Wainwrights turkey and veg Arden Grange sensitive JWB cereal free range (turkey, fish or lamb)
wet food
fishmongers wainwrights cereal free tins NM tins (beef and chicken) some of the lily kitchen range nose2tail
