I have read somewhere that   you also have to change up your shampoo. bar soap, perfume etc. Is this true?

Gluten has to be swallowed in order to set off a reaction in a celiac.  In my case, I am careful to purchase gluten-free shampoo, conditioner, facial sunscreen, soap, lipstick, hand lotion -- anything that might accidentally get into my mouth.  I do not have a wheat allergy.  

In addition to celiac disease (or not), some folks have a wheat allergy.  This would require avoiding wheat either injesting or anywhere on their skin.

YES, you do... Read on:

For almost FIVE days I have been dragging my sorry self around, running into walls, nursing a migraine, unable to form full and intelligible sentences, nauseated beyond reproach, trying to avoid everyone and everything.  When this starts I try to figure out where the cross-contamination occurred.  Low and behold, I was adventurous enough to want a NEW body wash!  God forbid, wanting to smell different and fruity I essentially poisoned myself intentionally for FIVE days with Oil of Olay's White Strawberry & Mint Cooling Body wash. Although, I actually felt better for one lazy, stinky day when I skipped a shower. Consider that the liquid gluten is also used to scrape the top layer of skin off one's (MINE) legs by shaving, which introduces it directly into the bloodstream. And if you happen to be a WOMAN (I AM) you have certain areas that get washed too.  Let's not forget that water gets into your ears...and your nose and eyes.

However,  science 101 teaches us that the largest organ we have is our SKIN. Would you roll on a bed of BREAD or FLOUR.    I can't even be in someone's kitchen if they're boiling pasta.  

After almost seven years of being diagnosed and totally gluten free, I am amazed at how my body reacts to cross-contamination because the reaction is more severe every time (I currently have refractory).  

 

Good Luck and keep the faith.  Use the resources here and you'll do great.

Like CyclingLady said: Gluten has to be injected to cause problems.  I changed lip gloss, but other than that, I use the same shampoo, conditioner, and makeup without any problems at all.  I'm not careful in the shower, but I make it a point to keep my mouth closed when shampooing.

Science teaches us that gluten must be ingested for the reaction to occur in the small intestine.

Don't see gluten in the ingredients I found on- line.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
