Safe Ingredients In Shampoo, Toothpaste, Etc...

I didnt know untill today that you can get glutened from your shampoo. I guess I did, cause I have had tons of ulcers in my mouth this week and havent had anything that could even be close to having gluten in it. I just recently switched to a new shampoo and sure enough, I looked at the ingredients and it said, "Wheat gluten and Hydrolozized wheat protein".

My question is, how do you know if a product has gluten in it? Will shampoo and stuff always say, "wheat", or will it be in one of the funny ingredients you cant pronounce?

Do I need to check all my hairspray, hair products, face wash, soap, lotion, toothpaste, etc? What do I look for?

A lot of natural products will say Triticum Valgure (the scientific name I guess). Also look for oats and barley as well. I would suggest using Shakai or Giovanni. Natural and gluten free.

If you can't tell, you can always ask the manufacturer.

I kept getting low level glutening from my hair gel, which listed wheat.

Dove products are gluten free if you buy store-brand shampoo and conditioner. I have never used them b/c I just use salon products, but Dove says they are gluten free and I have seen it on the boards several times.

i just went through the same boat over labor day weekend. I had to go through my entire house; cleanign supplies, fingernail polish, make-up, lotions, etc. b/c I was getting glutened. I had always thought until that weekend that you just had to watch food products.

Thank goodness for this forum....it teaches you so much!

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
