Hi all. I am new to this board. I have learned a lot from all of you so far but I do have a question about beauty products. Is it really necessary to avoid products with gluten in them? I don't understand how a shampoo or soap can make you sick. Is this only for those who have problems with DH? My only symptoms were gas and bloating. I've been feeling better since going gluten free with food. Will I feel even better if I get rid of all of my gluten products? Thanks.

Joanne

Hi Joanne and welcome in! The problem with products is that you can get them in your mouth. Anything you use on your face, lipstick, shampoo that runs down your face in the shower, lotion that you use on your hands and then lick your finger or prepare food--that is enough to cause a reaction. I am very sensitive to products even made in the same factory as ones with gluten, so I use products made in a gluten free facility. There are a number of companies that are completely gluten-free. I use hair products, lotion and soap from The Gluten Free Savonnerie. For makeup, I use Bare Essentuals. Neutrogena has a nice lip gloss that I use that comes in a lot of colors and is inexpensive. I also like Badger lip balm (thanks Jen!) I get that at Whole Foods. Jenvan has a good list of gluten-free personal care products. I would also add that since you're new to gluten-free, sometimes after following the diet for a while, we become more sensitive to smaller amounts of gluten. So, yes, I believe you will fell a difference when you change your products.

Thanks for the reply Patti. I'll give it a try. Do you live in Central Jersey by any chance?

I live in the Sayreville area. Too bad we don't live a little closer. But I'm glad to know that I can get help on these boards when I need it.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
