I wouldn't use it. There are some good volumizing shampoos that don't have wheat. Garneir makes some, for example, or Giovanni if you prefer the organic. Oh and just to be on the safe side since you mention your hair is thinning, Rogaine products used to have wheat, or did last I checked, so be careful with those if you decide to try them.

I wouldn't use that shampoo. The risk of accidentally consuming a bit of shampoo is too high. Look for a safer product.

Im extremely careful and never get any in my mouth...are there any risks with using it it on the skin? can the gluten enter your body? i would imagine the protein is too large to be absorbed thru the pores

Your choice ... However, I often accidentally swallow water or get water into my nose when I shampoo in the shower. Even though I don't actually ingest the undiluted shampoo, I sometimes swallow water which might contain a bit of shampoo. With all my allergies, I usually spit out the water. Nevertheless, I wouldn't want to take any chances.

No risk on the skin itself. You cannot absorb gluten through your skin.

I'd be more concerned with the hair gel. That can get all over under your fingernails while you are applying it to your hair. I was being glutened by my hair gel in the beginning and didn't realize it. Be sure to wash your hands very carefully after applying it.
If you're sure you're not getting any shampoo in your mouth, then it shouldn't be a problem. I use gluten-free shampoos and conditioners at home to make absolutely sure (and so I don't have to be so careful), but everyone knows their own level of sensitivity. When I go to the hair salon, I let my stylist use whatever he thinks is right for my hair, I just make sure none of it splashes in my mouth. I do, however, ask him to not use any product on my hair for blow drying/styling.

I'm confused. I thought you already received results that indicated you had 5 parasites. Have you already treated those and now await the retest results?

shampoo isn't a big risk, but it's nonzero. if you're still having issues, why take any risk you don't need to?
lotion is something I would change. unless you *NEVER* touch your mouth, never pick up a piece of food with your hands, and never handle your utensils and plates directly, there is a chance of transfer from lotion that ends up on the hands (even if it was just on the hands to apply to the arms or knees or feet) ends up on your food and ends up in your mouth. again, a small risk, but why take it if you're having problems?
there are so many gluten free options for both of these items, so my approach is "why not just go the really obvious route?".

I am wondering why if you think it isn't an issue you asked the question in the first place.
The choice is yours. There are many of us who do avoid it in toiletries. If you are continueing to have gluten issues then drop the stuff and see if it helps.

I've never avoided products that I don't consume that have gluten in them. I can honestly say that I've never been glutened by my shampoo or hand soaps, but it is your choice. Many people choose to take more precautions than others!

I would say, "no"! It would be far too easy to get shampoo in your mouth. All it would take would be a slight bit.
My daughter is contact reactive, but hers is an allergy and not celiac. I accidentally used a bath product with wheat in it on myself and the slight residue left behind gave her a rash. Never again!

Hi Tarnelberry!
Any suggestions for lotion?? My skin is brutally dry; I've been using Neutrogena unscented body oil after showers, but also lots of scented stuff. I looked on the web for 3 hours the other night; Burt's Bees has been taken over by clorox(!), and I'm having a heck of a hard time finding something.
Thanks!
