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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
