Can I use a shampoo that contains wheat proteins if I do not rub it into my head?

Thanks!

You can rub it into your scalp all you want because you can't absorb gluten that way. The real danger is that most people get a little into their mouth and swallow it.

Something else to consider--I never reacted to wheat in products that I didn't ingest (shampoo, lotion, etc.). However, now that I've been gluten-free for six months, if anything with gluten gets on me, I develop a little red itchy rash--it's not DH, but a rash nonetheless. Just something I wanted to address, so that's why I always use gluten-free products whether I will ingest them or not.

It would not bother you skin wise unless you have DH. I keep all gluten free products that I use on my hands(like lotions and soaps), and around my face because the chances of it getting into your mouth are pretty high

I get a rash whenever I use anything on my skin that contains wheat. If it does not bother you, and you do not chew your hair, then I don't see why you couldn't use it.

What brands of gluten-free shampoos and lotions do you use. My daughter needs some lotion and I am scared to use what I have. Any suggestions would be great!

I tend to use baby shampoo for her hair but she has really curly hair and I need something for that too!

I use alot of Dove soaps, shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, moisturizers, etc.

Dove is a brand that will not hide anything on their label so they will tell you on the label if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats.

Well makeup like lipstick is essential. Other makeup to me is essential because when you take it off there is possibilities of getting traces into your mouth..and if you touch your face throughout the day or rub your eyes, etc ...there are just numerous ways to be glutened.

With soaps&lotions, when you wash your hands and then prepare your food...if the soap was not gluten free then your food may now be contaminated

With shampoos it is very easy to get traces into your mouth.

My personal opinion is that things you put on your head, face, and hands should be gluten free to make sure that you have no possibility of being glutened from that angle.

Thanks Kaiti

This is just so overwhelming........ :(

Do you have any suggestions for the gluten free makeup? I currently us Almay foudation....don't wear lipstick.....Garnier Fructis is the shampoo brand I use and Clinque face soap, cleanser and moisturizer.

It is hard trying to work fulltime and find out all the info on this disease :(

Garnier should be ok for shampoo...I think some people on here use that..I'm thinking that was an ok brand but someone else may know for sure...also if you check the threads in the product section you should be able to find alot of this info.

Clinique only has some gluten free products so you have to check on that...I had to throw my lipstick by them away because I could not get a direct answer out of them.

Dove has new body lotions out...I haven't checked to see if they are gluten free yet but they will tell you right on the label if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats.

The whole Bare Escentuals makeup line is gluten free.

Hang in there it's not as hard as it may seem

gluten-free toilettries is a personal call - one that I choose to answer by keeping them gluten-free. Makes me feel better, and that's what matters. I prefer Dove Shampoo/Conditioner (not combined, but the two of them), though I've also used Pantene in the past. As for lotions, I don't use a lot, but what I use is either Neutrogena products (gotta love a 26-year old's acne... most are gluten-free, check the label) and lotion that Alba Botanicals makes. Mmm... Papaya Mango body cream... smell like heaven all day! :-)

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.
