How Does This Work?

I am new to this-diagnosed last week. Do I really have to avoid toiletry items with wheat or oats in them? They just would not ever enter my intestines so I don't understand. Shampoo, hand lotion etc? Thank you!!!

Anything that comes in contact with your mouth. Lipstick as we lick our lips. Shampoos because they sometimes get in the mouth. Hand lotions because of the face touching, etc. I personally don't worry about the hand lotion as I broke my habit of touching my face just after I was diagnosed. I am sure others will add more reasons. Good Luck.

Yes, you need to look at everything including things like shampoos, lotions, makeups, soaps...everything. You see there is a high chance of these things entering the mouth in small amounts. It's easier then you may think and the smallest amount can cause damage. You can get lists of brands that won't hide anything, ingredients that can hide gluten, and gluten free makeups and brands that everyone here uses. Please email me if you have any questions

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
