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.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?
