Will I have ever learn all these names for gluten? I realized that I was still getting gluten. After I took my shower I was eating a gluten free snack. I can tell if I eat something right away. My eye gets kind of watery and itchy. I went through the ingredients on my body washes. Found two with gluten. One was a baby bath no less. The other was a CVS, compare to Dove. This really makes me mad at myself too.

Not a dumb question at all. The thing is that it takes a very, very small amount of gluten to get a reaction. In the case of body wash, it can be the spray from the shower that bounces off the shower curtain or door misting back onto your lips. Then the residue from the gluten dries on your lips. When you eat, the gluten comes off on your food when you take a bite.

Even if you're careful to avoid getting it on your lips, it's on your hands and you'd gluten yourself if you touch your food without washing your hands with gluten-free soap first.

For me, shampoo is the worst because I can't seem to stop messing with my hair or pushing it out of my face.

Thank you. I do think that it is unfair that they can use so many different names. Actually all my life I've had trouble finding soap, body wash, cosmetics, shampoo, etc. that didn't make me itch. I just could never figure out exactly what ingredient or ingredients were getting me. I've even had hypo allergenic get me. At least now I know why. Of course it isn't always easy to read the ingredients because they print them so small.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
