Since i am new to this (gluten-free lifestyle) I am not really sure what i can and can not do (besides diet). I read in a book that most celiacs or gluten intolerants- should not be wary of items (like lotions, shampoos, etc). Since I've been coming here i've been reading differently... So do those items effect some celiacs and not all? I use apricot scrub by st. ives and i've never noticed a problem. Should i worry just in case?

A lot of us like to be 100% gluten-free in everyway.

I used to nt care about my make-up and shampoo being glutenfree. However, after a few months gluten-free I noticed that these gluten containing products really bothered me. The shampoo now gives me a rash and makes me itchy and the same with the make-up.

Some say thats an allergic reaction rather than a Celiac one but since so many of us have issues with it I think it is related. Maybe the longer gluten-free you are the more sensitive you get.

Plus, when you use shampoo in the shower sometimes it can get in your mouth, the same with nail produts, and lotions (on your hands).

Yeah Kristina is right. I used to not care as well but then I had reactions as well... I choose to be completely gluten-free in all ways.

If you haven't already check lipsticks too...that is common to forget but that definitely gets into your mouth and I had a problem with some lip balm with vitamin E that was derived from wheat that was causing a reaction. It's better safe then sick :D There is wonderful info about products that are gluten-free on here and if you don't know about something just ask and I'm sure someone will have an answer for you :D

Kaiti (or anyone else who knows), you mentioned Vitamin E having wheat sometimes. I heard this for the first time recently, so now I'm paranoid about buying anything with Vitamin E, just in case it's wheat derived. Do you know how common this is? Would the company (if they are semi-gluten-free friendly) have to declare the Vitamin E is wheat derived? Or is this just one of the "modified food starch, natural flavors" etc. issues that we have to worry about?

Thanks for any info anyone has!

It's something that can be derived from wheat...but not always...it's something to check on. If the company is like Kraft or something it would be fine but I check every time I see it for brands I do not know about...I learned the lesson the hard way.

I don't think this list is complete. One I didn't see listed is this:

Hair Repair Intense Conditioner

That has hydrolyzed wheat protein, too. I used to love this one...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
