Simple cheap stuff like baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, the stuff grandma used.  Good ideas for anybody, not just celiacs.  Good for our planet too since they are biodegradable.<br/><br/>

I recently was trying a face cream with collagen, and was getting a rash that was unexplained, until I found that collagen comes from wheat.  It took quite a while for the rash to go away after I discontinued use.  I had to use vitamin E to get rid of it.  Now that is all I use and it works nice.<br/><br/>

Until I see research that proves topical gluten is safe for celiacs, I will continue to recommend that celiacs avoid gluten-containing personal products.  Additionally, I have heard anecdotal stories similar to  Judy's that would concern me.  Certainly it is recommended that those with dermatitis herpetiformis avoid topical gluten!  

When we work so hard to avoid ingesting gluten, does it make any sense to use a shampoo or hand cream with wheat protein?  I suppose you never get shampoo or your hair in your mouth or you never lick your fingers.  I guess you would have to be very careful to avoid accidental ingestion.

Also, I am shocked to see the  inference that baking with gluten products has no effect on celiacs.  Even if skin contact has no effect, the possibility of breathing in gluten through the mouth while talking and thus ingesting it accidentally is enough to suggest that all celiacs avoid baking with gluten!  In fact, I know one celiac baker who was very sick until he quit his job.  Perhaps all the bakers mentioned in the article are not as sensitive, but I hope they have their antibodies checked regularly.<br/><br/>

I'm not convinced that this stuff doesn't affect the skin.  I used to get dermatitis herpetiformis every time I used lotion or gel until I realized that some had hydrolized wheat protein in them.  Same with my shampoo.  As soon as I changed to Dove, the dandruff and skin problems totally ceased.<br/><br/>
