Well I Accidentally Proved My Point

I am always outspoken about using gluten free shampoos and soaps as many of you have seen because of my own experience not getting better until I made the switch.

Well... there is ONE product I still use with caution that contains wheat. Redken Anti Snap leave in hair treatment. When I've been swimming or to the beach a lot and my hair needs a pick me up, I put it on, tie my hair up, wash my hands really well and then I'm careful it doesn't run into my mouth when I wash my hair later.

We had that big long thread about this recently and it got heated, so I guess I subconsciously needed to prove my point. Yesterday I put Anti Snap on my hair but forgot to tie it up. I went about my day out and about doing errands and whatever. I have a habit of absent mindedly running my fingers through my hair a lot.

I must have run my fingers through my hair a bunch and then I ate finger foods- glutino crackers, apple slices and carrots. All of a sudden I got a major panic attack (my first glutening symptom always), felt dizzy, stomache cramps.

When I realized how I got myself I was so mad but then I had to laugh in light of the recent thread. LOL

Feel free to laugh at me or slap me for being a big dope.

I'm one of those people who accidentally swallow water containing shampoo or creme rinse while I shower. So I changed 3 months ago to Shakai Naturals shampoo and creme rinse which are free of all my 7 allergens. It even tastes good. LOL

Last week I used Blu Swim chlorine removing shampoo and saw that there was wheat protein in it. This is the first shampoo I've tried that actually removed chlorine from my hair. I was extremely careful with it and rinsed like crazy. I have very short hair so figured I got it all out. I was pretty careful to not ingest any.

I did have some D issues the following morning but nothing too severe. It could have been the shampoo or possibly something else. I am going to give it one more try the next time I go swimming and be even more careful.

I got rid of all my other products that contain wheat or oats and most likely will have to get rid of this one, too:(

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest ...

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Skin issues

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.
