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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
