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.

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
