Hello everyone,  please help me. I have recently became celiac and extreme gluten free. I have changed everything because of the misery of rashes and how horrible I have been feeling.  Read an article about using free and clear laundry detergent and I wasn't breaking out in bumps everywhere. However I cleaned my comforter using tide and have been up all night itching like crazy!! How do I deal with this if I ever want to travel??? ? Thanks for the help

While this is NOT a gluten/Celiac issue, it happens to my son ( who is not Celiac or gluten sensitive). When he travels, he sleeps in a long sleeve t shirt, sweat pants, socks and either brings a pillow case from home or puts a t shirt over the pillow.  Not every hotel or friends house have sheets that make him itch, but it is best to be prepared.

Use a double rinse always on your wash cycle.   That and gentle detergent  (think Baby Dreft or one developed for allergies).    Use less than half of what the manufacturer recommends.  (It often is ploy to get you to use more detergent, in my opinion.)

Newer washers use less water.  Boo!  You might even need a third rinse on one of the water-saving machines.  You can test just throw in some clean towels without detergent and you can often the residue of soap bubbling up.  That extra rinse really helps!  

And Karen is right that is is not a celiac-related issue.  Many people have allergic-type reactions to detergents.  But I can imagine your reaction is worse when you are already struggling with DH.

      Manitol and mri

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      Probiotics

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat...

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.
