I've only been gluten free for about 4 months, and up until now the thought never occurred to me that their products could contain gluten. I use several of their products including the hand soap, body cream, shower gel, hand sanitizer, perfume, etc.. and I've never gotten sick or had any reaction to them. Does it matter if I use them if they don't bother me? I've had to give up a lot of things since being gluten free, so I guess I just don't want to have to give up this too :unsure:

Also, I don't know if I have Celiac. I've been putting off getting tested because I'm kind of terrified of purposely glutening myself every day for weeks. So as far as I know right now, I'm just gluten sensitive/intolerant. Don't know if it makes a difference, but I figured it was worth mentioning :)

You should definately make sure that stuff that goes on your lips or hands is gluten free.  Personally I don't like gluten in any of my personal care products and thankfully stuff like wheat protein, wheat germ oil and oats are becoming easier to avoid. They seem to be in less products as time goes by.

The gluten molecule is supposedly too large to absorb through the skin, but like ravenwodglass, I avoid all products with gluten because of fear of transferring it from my hands to my mouth. For sure, no hand lotion or lip care products even if you choose to continue using the other items

Hello! My whole family has found out about Celiac in the last year so we're relatively new to the gluten-free life, too. (Some of us are diagnosed, some not.) Here's my take: if you are intolerant or Celiac...either way, your body hates gluten. I don't use them, but my mom does. It affects what I call acne. (I'm 34...always had acne but it cleared up when I went gluten-free.) My mom uses Bath & Body Works. She stopped the hand cream and sanitizers and uses butt inspection gloves when she applies the body cream. It's a happy medium for her. I began using beeswax since it's all natural. My brother found a different lotion and so did my sister. No worries! I like to say, "You do you. I'll do me." in relation to what limits we impose upon ourselves. Whatever works!

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!
