According to Rory Jones (who is very well known, and knows alot about celiac disease and DH), you can only be glutened by ingesting it... makeup, hair products, lotions shouldn't bother you...

however, all my stuff is gluten-free just to be safe

The problem with gluten and makeup, shampoo, lotions, etc. is that it can get into your mouth inadvertantly, causing a gluten reaction.

I never realized what a girl I was until I tried using shampoo with wheat in it just because I liked it. I couldn't believe how much I was putting my hands in my hair. Then I'd have to go wash my hands.

You can also get the water from rinsing your hair in your mouth. Pay close attention next time you wash your hair and see if that's something you do. I never would have believed it myself because I hate getting water in my face when I wash my hair, but sure enough, little rivulets of water were just streaming down my face across my mouth.

Personally, I make sure all my lipstick, gloss, lip balms, etc are gluten-free. Because that will definitely get into your mouth. Foundations / powders / blushes I make sure are gluten-free. But eye makeup I don't worry about. Nail products should also be verified unless you never touch your food with your hands. I have a story about that too... :rolleyes: Hand lotions are another thing I would say you should verify.

I heard that all of Smashbox is gluten-free, most of Bare Escentuals and a lot of MAC are gluten-free.

What I would do is not throw everything away that has gluten, but just put it in a bag somewhere and set it aside for now. You may find that you're more disciplined than I am in not touching your face or hair and can use a lot of the stuff. The only thing I'd advise you absolutely verify is anything that goes on your lips, and probably your nails. Other than that you may find that you're a lot more disciplined with not touching your face and hair. Some people are able to do much better than I do with all of this. For me, cosmetics and all that stuff will kick my booty every time.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @trents thank you! I have only been taking 20mg 1x a day. Maybe I need to increase it.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
