I just recently started my gluten free diet about a week and a half ago. I have still been having some slight pain in my sides and some general cramps in my stomach towards the end of the day at work. Last night I looked at the label on my hair gel now that i am learning more about my new lifestyle and noticed that there is definitely a wheat product in the gel. Is it possible that this could be whats causing my pains?

Keep in mind that the diet doesn't heal us instantly and it can take some time before symptoms go away. I would drop that hair gel and look for something that is gluten free. Dove, Suave, Garneir, Giovanni and Unilever are among those companies that will clearly label gluten ingredients in their products.

It took me almost 5 months to feel anywhere near normal so din't discount it yet... definitely try a different hair gel though :)

Yep, took me five months to feel 80% better and a whole year to feel 100%. I would change your hair gel, too. It's not worth it to risk getting sick over a hair gel. ;)

I really like Paul Mitchell products. A lot of their products don't have wheat in them ,but if they do, it's in bold print listed simply, (wheat).

Hang in there! :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
