Can I use a shampoo that contains wheat proteins if I do not rub it into my head?

Thanks!

You can rub it into your scalp all you want because you can't absorb gluten that way. The real danger is that most people get a little into their mouth and swallow it.

Something else to consider--I never reacted to wheat in products that I didn't ingest (shampoo, lotion, etc.). However, now that I've been gluten-free for six months, if anything with gluten gets on me, I develop a little red itchy rash--it's not DH, but a rash nonetheless. Just something I wanted to address, so that's why I always use gluten-free products whether I will ingest them or not.

It would not bother you skin wise unless you have DH. I keep all gluten free products that I use on my hands(like lotions and soaps), and around my face because the chances of it getting into your mouth are pretty high

I get a rash whenever I use anything on my skin that contains wheat. If it does not bother you, and you do not chew your hair, then I don't see why you couldn't use it.

What brands of gluten-free shampoos and lotions do you use. My daughter needs some lotion and I am scared to use what I have. Any suggestions would be great!

I tend to use baby shampoo for her hair but she has really curly hair and I need something for that too!

I use alot of Dove soaps, shampoos, conditioners, hairsprays, moisturizers, etc.

Dove is a brand that will not hide anything on their label so they will tell you on the label if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats.

Can someone please help me out???

Thanks

Well makeup like lipstick is essential. Other makeup to me is essential because when you take it off there is possibilities of getting traces into your mouth..and if you touch your face throughout the day or rub your eyes, etc ...there are just numerous ways to be glutened.

With soaps&lotions, when you wash your hands and then prepare your food...if the soap was not gluten free then your food may now be contaminated

With shampoos it is very easy to get traces into your mouth.

My personal opinion is that things you put on your head, face, and hands should be gluten free to make sure that you have no possibility of being glutened from that angle.

Thanks Kaiti

This is just so overwhelming........ :(

Do you have any suggestions for the gluten free makeup? I currently us Almay foudation....don't wear lipstick.....Garnier Fructis is the shampoo brand I use and Clinque face soap, cleanser and moisturizer.

It is hard trying to work fulltime and find out all the info on this disease :(

Garnier should be ok for shampoo...I think some people on here use that..I'm thinking that was an ok brand but someone else may know for sure...also if you check the threads in the product section you should be able to find alot of this info.

Clinique only has some gluten free products so you have to check on that...I had to throw my lipstick by them away because I could not get a direct answer out of them.

Dove has new body lotions out...I haven't checked to see if they are gluten free yet but they will tell you right on the label if it contains wheat,rye,barley,oats.

The whole Bare Escentuals makeup line is gluten free.

Hang in there it's not as hard as it may seem

gluten-free toilettries is a personal call - one that I choose to answer by keeping them gluten-free. Makes me feel better, and that's what matters. I prefer Dove Shampoo/Conditioner (not combined, but the two of them), though I've also used Pantene in the past. As for lotions, I don't use a lot, but what I use is either Neutrogena products (gotta love a 26-year old's acne... most are gluten-free, check the label) and lotion that Alba Botanicals makes. Mmm... Papaya Mango body cream... smell like heaven all day! :-)

I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner. It works great in my curly hair.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
