It is a personal decision.

There is a New England Journal of Medicine study that showed that some people with celiac disease are non-responsive to the gluten free diet because of inhaled gluten.

You put foundation on your face, your inevitably breath some of it in. A lot, no, not by any means. Is there a chance you are going to smudge some on your lips and ingest it, sure, but again, its a very little quantity.

I personally chose to remove all hair/beauty products from my life because I was so sick and not getting better so I wanted to avoid any chances.

Again, its a personal choice.

There seems to be variation among people in terms of level of sensitivity, and this also changes over time. I have read here on the forum that many have become increasingly sensitive over time, and those who were non-believers became believers when they had strong reactions.

I too chose to remove these, and took a turn for the better after doing so. I still hope to retest my shampoo some day but not until I really feel well.

I'd see if you can't find something gluten free, just to be safe, think of how many times you touch your hands to your face in a day!

Neutrogena has a very very extensive list of gluten free products and I find that they are very high quality products! You can find the most recently updated list by searching the forums for something like "Neutrogena 07"...It's in the "Food Products and Medications" section.
