Glutened By Hairspray

Ok well on Thanksgiving night I went to my aunts house. Some of my cousins and I were playing a game and while we were my younger cousin who is like 6 was behind me. Unknown to me at the time she was spraying some hairspray conditioner stuff in her hair right behind me. She brought it over to where I could see her and started to spray it again so I told her to stop and I looked at it...sure enough high up there on that list of ingredients was wheat protein and wheat starch...probably other stuff to but I stopped after I saw that. I knew I was in for it. Sure enough I got a reaction.

I am getting over it now so it definitely wasn't a full blown reaction like I get when I would ingest something so that is something to definitely be happy about but it has not been very pleasant at all.

Just wanted to share with you so you all can beware of the airborne gluten :blink:

So for those of you who may not think you can be glutened by those kinds of products...I can assure you that you can.

Hope you feel all better soon! I used to use Paul Mitchell Hairspray and had to toss it.

If the hairspray doesnt have any obvious gluten in the ingredients does that mean its safe? I use Finesse and it doesnt list anything with wheat or oat or anything like that. I was never sure so I usually hold my breath while I spray and then leave the room for a couple minutes. :unsure: I always feel kind of like a paranoid freak doing this though. :(

The Finesse sounds ok, but you could always call and check. The Paul Mitchell had wheat listed so thats why I got rid of it.

I hope you feel better soon. It's annoying that we can get reactions from airborn gluten. I have noticed that I start feeling slightly ill when I walk into a store that sells and bakes their own bread for subs.

I use Paul Mitchell freeze 'n' shine, and it doesn't list wheat products. What kind of Paul Mitchell hairspray did you use? Their mousse seems okay, too.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Has anyone ever negative blood work except for the DPG-IGA? Mine was 42 (reference range negative is >20. The TTG iga was negative. I have always suffered from bad gas issues and lately have been having bouts of diarrhea and constipation. I also have a bumpy rash that comes and goes below both elbows. i have an endoscopy scheduled in May but I was just wondering if anyone else had bloodwork like this and what was the end result?

      Welcome to he forum community, @DjinnDjab! You wrote: "i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships." Are you saying that the need to eat gluten free has resulted in losing all your friends and your entire social life?

      i am a 37 yo male and this describes me perfectly. on a scale of 1-10, i am at 8. 9. 10, 11 for 8-12 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. this has been going on for about 5 years and i just found out i may have celiac. so needless to say i no longer have friends or relationships so i spend a lot of time with myself. and uhhh what really sucks is uhh, sorry to say, "enjoying myself" is a trigger for this pain. i can be fine all day until i take 5 mins to "myself" and then its all downhill from there. this has robbed me of every.single.thing in my once colorful life.
