I was just informed that shampoo/conditioner/soap/makeup etc. can be a problem because of the gluten, so I hope someone here might be able to help me - at least until I reach the companies by phone. - I now know what my Friday and Sunday will look like - on the phone the whole day!!!!

Anyway, the companies I need information about are: Avene - their sunblock cream, Extremely gentle cleanser, Skin recovery cream and hand cream. Clinique - moisture sheer lipstick, glosswear for lips. Cetaphil. Oral Defense toothpaste - cool mint. LIP BALM - Lip Protection, cherry flavor with moisturizing vitamin E. (it also says on it super G - is that the company name?)

One last question - can Vitamin E be a problem?

I really don't know where to start. I really never thought that these items could be a problem. I guess, when you think about it, it makes sense, so why don't doctors say anything?!?!?!?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Yes, those products can be a problem and I have personally reacted to non gluten-free suncreen. I am not sure about the products that you mentioned but I will give you info on some gluten free equivalents:

Suncreen - Banana Boat (I also think that Coppertone is gluten-free, anyone have a conformation on that?)

Toothpaste - Colgate or Crest

Lipstick - Avon and L'Oreal (in Canada anyway)

Soap - dove will clearly indicate gluten

Shampoo/Conditioner - Dove (will clearly indicate gluten), Garnier Fructis (I read on this site that it is gluten-free).

I'm sure the others can give more info than that. Hope this helps.

so why don't doctors say anything?!?!?!?
I'm not sure... I've wondered that myself, I think they are too busy to say anything and leave it up to the dietician or nutritionist.

Vitamin E can be a problem. I has lip balm I was using months ago and I had a bad reaction and I could not figure it out. Turns out the Vitamin E was derived from wheat :angry: Learned my lesson there

Some doctors are numbskulls and just don't know everything. To tell you the truth you keep learning things along the way though. You just have to check everything.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
