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.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
