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.

So what did you get that you liked?

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.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid...

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.

      I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
