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.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      ttg iga high (646 mg/dl) other results are normal

      So, since total iga 646, was high , was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease. Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded...

      Fiber Supplement

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar.  I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke.  I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it.  My bite shifted and the TMJ went away.  I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

The total IGA test is given to determine if you are IGA deficient. In the case of IGA deficiency, other IGA tests will b skewed and their scores cannot be trusted. Elevated total IGA can point to other health issues, some of them potentially serious, or it can mean nothing. But it doesn't look like you have celiac disease.

If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?
