Hi,

so im still fairly new tot he whole thing but im making advances on the food sides, however i am still getting poisoned occassionally and i have no idea where from!

i have read on some sites that gluten can not be absorbed through the skin, which would amke sense - but i know that my friend who cant tollerate nickle has been told to not wear make up with nickle in - and i have seen several posts on here about shampoos that are gluten-free and detergants and make up and things.. do i have to whole have my whole life gluten-free?! does it matter about things like shampoo and mascara and hand cream?

anyone have any idea about this in relation to lactose / cassin as well? as i have to avoid all dairy and lactose related products at the moe as well.

equally, if so where do i find the info?! i wrote to some of the companys but most havnt responded and the ones that did mostly said they list their ingrediants in accordence with the stanard manual of ingrediants (cant remeber the exact name) and thats not readily avaliable to the public with out a heft payment!

help?!

I am newly diagnosed too =

I wear bare essentials, or bare minerals - all there make-up is gluten free - I don't know if it is nickel free though.

Also, I had to take away any lotions as I was wearing one that had oatmeal in it, and my hand had a slight cut...well I still have a scar from it going inside the cut.

This bigger issue with makeup is that you're likely to touch your face and then eat your food and get contaminated that way. Some people do react to touching gluten products, but not all. I prefer to have my whole life gluten-free. When I go home, I have absolutely no worries about contamination or getting sick. I need my house to be a gluten-free zone in order to be 100% at ease there. I realize sometimes this is not possible, especially for those who live with other people.

Some companies are reluctant to give out ingredients because it's a "trade secret". If you do a search on this site, you'll find plenty of lists of gluten-free makeups. I use CoverGirl, Rimmel, Boots, Bonne Bell stuff. I read the package and usually go by that unless they make other products with gluten and I think there might be a contamination issue.

Here's my response from Boots. They were pretty quick with the reply.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the No7 lipstick you purchased.

None of our lipsticks contain pure wheat rye, barley or oats. The No7 Moisture Drench lipsticks contain wheatgerm oil, therefore, if the allergy to gluten is strong, you may want to avoid using this product.

All of our skincare products are gluten free.

Thank you again for contacting Boots. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.
