Do We Need To Worry About Perfume Or Cologne?

I aven't looked at the ingredients but I did get the aftermath of my boyfriends cologne in my mouth and I was thinking I hope this doesn't have gluten in it.

Any thoughts?

That is something else that you have to watch. I saw a list somewhere, but recall where at the moment. I did check some at the time. I seem to remember Clinique was OK for some reason.

I can't imagine why.........I wear tons of scents, in all forms, and have never had a problem with this.

[ <----- and on a related note - look at my girl - they're fragrance models on ebay now! ha ha] :lol:

Ever spray one in your mouth?

FootballFanatic, I'd just check the ingredients.

I would check them to be on the safe side but I get around this issue by spraying after I am dressed and only on my clothing. I then wash my hands well and I have never had an issue doing this and I am extremely sensitive.

Well, I don't think any of the bottles that I use list ingredients....but I do love my perfume.

When I look for ingredients what should I be looking for...I'm assuming it's not going to say "WHEAT"

Ingredients aren't listed on perfumes, EDT's, EDP's, colognes, etc. Depending on price....they are distilled fragrances and essences in a medium of alcohol or oil, or a mix.......cheaper ones will use artificial ingredients. I've used both - all ranges - I am OBSESSED with fragrance! Never had a problem with any of it.....NEVER sprayed it in my mouth, either. ;) I spray it on clothing, dab it on pulse points, it's never been a problem. I use the lotions, shower gels, you name it....no problems.

Just try it and see, and keep it away from your mouth! But a rule here....the more expensive fragrances - I just don't see how gluten could even BE in the liquid (EDP, EDT, cologne spray, etc) forms........

I got an answer from Olay which suggested that if gluten were to be in one of their products (and it's not stated on the label in the ingredients) then it could be in the fragrance. (I had them on the phone last week about their Quencher body lotion). The rep said to use a fragrance free product as gluten could be in trace amounts in the fragrance and they can't rule that out.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By catnapt · Posted

      fortunately you don't need to understand anything that doesn't directly affect you.  🤗 you earlier assumed I was deficient in nutrients and minerals due to celiac malabsorption but...... now it doesn't matter? because why? it might mess up your deficiency argument?  if you don't know the difference between having actual celiac disease and NCGS....!!!! correct me if I'm wrong but actual celiac disease causes actual physical damage to your body and increases your risk of certain cancers... just as a start. I have an identical twin sister- IF I have celiac disease, chances are she may too. I have a daughter and other first degree relatives... you also get ADA protections with an actual celiac diagnosis.  but again, not your decision to make  nor to understand. but to suggest that there is no valid reason to find out for sure is incomprehensible on a board dedicated to celiac disease. if you ask me but you didn't so- nevermind.   don't worry though, another member has declared that in her expert opinion based on who knows what- that I don't have celiac!!!  but instead I am "full of beans" and probably killing myself for eating such scary things, I don't know.   if you think you can diagnose me off one single biomarker and a hunch of some sort...based on your history and some research study that you think is relevant- um, well, Glad to meet you, Dr McCoy aka Bones. 🫠 I did not know this was a place where strangers want to play doctor  I am hoping to hear from other members who are not so quick to make judgements and... stuff, let's just leave it at that... perhaps there aren't any.  time will tell I guess

      I don't understand why you are continuing to persue a differencial diagnosis of celiac disease vs. NCGS.  Once you stop eating gluten, those symtoms will go away.  One less thing to worry about.  You improve without gluten so you proved the point.  Why beat yourself up?  Without gluten you can focus on the symptoms that remain and maybe over time, with the right nutrition for you, full recovery.  But it takes time to undo a livetime of poisoning. I'd still like to know your vitamin D. Feel free to ignore me.
