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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
