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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.
