All right, so I dont have any noticeable DH (least not as far as I know), or nuthin, but I have always had a problem with products coming in contact with my skin. I always thought I just had super sensitive skin. So for years, I searched for the perfect hypoallergenic sensitive skin formula, for both my hair and body. Never did find a good fit, so I live with itchy scalps and skin and quite often red skin. Yesterday I decided to find gluten free products for my skin and hair (I had not done so yet, but had resolved to do so) when I did my next grocery shop. Last night I used all the products, and sure enough, I feel like a new woman... Who knew my skin didnt like gluten all this time.

SO I definitely think that gluten can have an effect even if you aint been diagnosed with DH. I feel like a new woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!

Just had to share my success story with yall because I spent 10 years tryin to find good personal care products I could use.

It was the 365 brand fragrance free items at whole foods. Conditioner/Lotion/Shampoo/Shower Gel (And the shower gel works well for shavin too I noticed. Not a cut for the first time in my life!!!!!!!!!!!) I also got their hand soap too. I also like Toms of Maine products too. I got that in deodorant and toothpaste. Definitely good choices.

Thanks. I think God is telling me to get new shampoo. :). It spilled all over the shower, when no one was around. Then the last 2 times I have used what was left, a whole lot came pouring out.

Thats the worst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had that problem with my worst shampoos. That or the lid will pop off and then they fall in the tub while I am takin a bath (a rare occurance because I cant stand sittin in a tub more than five minutes, and it also dries my skin out more than a shower does.) I figure time to try another shampoo/conditioner/soap when that happens. I have to say though of everythin I bought, I am most impressed with the lotion, but that is mostly because I aint found a lotion in the world that I can use other than baby lotion which actually dont do much for my excessively dry skin. Most are scented and for some reason all the fragrances have somethin in em that makes me wanna shoot somethin the reaction is horrible, or they are just not made hypoallergenic or for sensitive skin. I found that the WF 365 lotion does make me feel good. Hallelujah. But like I said, all the above mentioned products are good and made me happy!

I have yet to be diagnosed, but for years I thought the problem was skin sensitivity. (still could be,but doubtful) I've spent sooo much money on shampoos. JUst when I thought I found the right one, I get the itching. I think I will have to try the same stuff. Thanks.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
