My husband has Celiac Disease and i was just wondering if i should use Gluten free make-up, shampoo, lotion, soap and any other product i use on my skin and hair.

And if so, what products that are in STORES such as wal-mart, target, stop and shop etc are Gluten free?

my kids are and I use gluten-free products. my makeup is Everyday Minerals, lip gloss is Neutogena, shampoo and conditioner are Dove. A lot of what I use is from Unilever, it makes it easy when reading labels :)

Thank you so much for the advice :) I was recently using Suave Professionals and while reading the label i noticed it said it had wheat in it and my hubby hasnt been feeling well lately so i made the connection. I'm going ALL gluten free now. So ive been doing some research all day on what products are Gluten free.

So is it hard having 2 children with Celiac Disease? I'm just curious what symptoms if any did they show before you found out? I'm just wondering because i have 2 boys (2 and 4) and since my husband has Celiac Disease chances are our boys will too one day.

My dd was diagnosed when she was 4, right after our son was born. She was totally fine, then BAM, stomach cramps constantly :( I believed my son had some form of Autism up until he was 2 1/2. He had tested negative at 2, but started chronic D at 2 1/2. I took him off of gluten just to see what happened and he did a complete 180. It's like the "autistic fog" lifted and he was a totally normal kid. Later, his biopsy showed 'suspect but inconclusive' and our GI diagnosed him off of his dietary response alone and he's been a completely different kid ever since! I can't say it's hard, it's almost been 5 years so at this point it's second nature. It can be challenging at times, but that's life ;) Cooking and baking are a great hobby/passion of mine, so there's nothing that they're going without (see that Stormtrooper cake in my picture...)--i.e. I made ice cream sandwiches on Sunday, I think those were the biggest hit in 5 years!

If there's anything at all I can do to help, never hesitate to ask!!

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This may not be the cause, it's pure speculation on my part, but for 10-15 years I had a tingling/burning/electric-like shock sensation that emanated from my right-neck upward across the right-side of my head. I was worried about having a stroke or something so got all sorts of tests done, including an MRI, which found not much--only a minor degenerative disk in my neck--which I just accepted as the cause. Fast forward to when I was ~45 and I was hit with shingles in the EXACT place that this sensation would travel--I ended up with a very painful case of shingles that felt like the right-side of my head had been set on fire, and had the blistering and pain that ran along the exact path of nerves that I had felt this sensation travel along for the prior 10-15 years. For me, that time period was a shingles pre-cursor, and all those feelings were likely inflammation in my nerves. Needless to say I've not had this since getting my shingles vaccines at 50.  Your situation could very well be something else, but I just wanted to mention this possibility because your symptoms sound similar to what I experienced. I'm not sure if you're in the age range to get a shingles vaccine, but it may be something to consider.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Richard Rusnak! The short answer is "No". Barley is a gluten-containing grain. The three gluten-containing grains are wheat, barley and rye.  Barley and rye contain less gluten than wheat but still should be avoided. Understand that smaller amounts of gluten may not produce a noticeable reaction in so far as symptoms go, but they still may be causing some inflammation in the gut. Products derived from gluten-containing grains should also be avoided, for instance malt and malt flavoring.
