That is certainly not a stupid question and it's been asked quite a bit here. Shampoos and body washes should be gluten free because there is a chance of getting into your mouth while you bath or shower.

Feel free to ask way. The learning curve is very steep when your tackling a new lifestyle. This is a great place to ask for help.

Hey,

okay, so I was just recently diagnosed myself and asked the same question. I will relay to you what I was advised with the caveat that I"m still very new to this (diagnosed just over 2 months ago).

I was advised that it is important not to ingest gluten -- so if you have lip balm, for example, make sure it is gluten free. Same goes for shampoos, facial creams, etc as these could very easily (and mistakenly) be ingested. I was even advised that a gluten free hair spray would be a good idea since it's easy to inhale that crap.

I have not gone so far as to ensure all my beauty or hygene products are gluten free (e.g. deodorant). I just do not have the time right now to research EVERYTHING. So if I'm not going to ingest it, I don't worry about it (e.g. deodorant, eye shadow, etc)

The only exception is wrt my DH. It's some sort of skin manifestation that some celiacs get (I'm not the most informed person re: DH...but the 'psoriasis' I've had on my leg for like a decade has gone away since going gluten free so I"m assuming it is a form of DH). I"ve read on the DH posts that folks with DH make sure that no gluten touches their skin, particularly where they have the rash.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule.

      suggest gluten free food

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.
