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.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
