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.

      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...

      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.

      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.
