I have a silly question brought to mind by the cat treat post - just being diagnosed and trying to learn about all of this...What about shampoo and conditioner products with wheat protein in them? Can they make a celiac sick? I know the lady said that she had a reaction to the hair spray, which I can understand with it being airborne - but what about things that come into contact with the skin?

Hi!

Personally, I break out in bad skin rashes when I use wheat/gluten hair and body products. The reactions are actually more than just rashes - they include tightness in my chest & a slight feeling of my throat closing - scary stuff.

I was a big time user of Aveda products. No more! They are definitely not gluten/wheat free!

I switched to Desert Essence shampoo & conditioner, Moroccan Method hair styling products, Savonnerie soap, lotion and lip balm. FYI, watch the lip products - they are easily ingested when you eat or wet your lips!

The switch is working out for me so far.

Good luck to you!

Best,

Pondy

Think about it for a sec...you are in the shower with the conditioner on your hair and you are shaving your legs and the conditioner runs down your face and onto your mouth.........glutened!

Safe brands that I know of are Dove, Garnier Fructis, Finesse and Suave.

I changed my products and I found that the nagging headache, nauseous and head rash went away. I didn't feel %100 better until I got all the gluten out. Shampoo, makeup, lip gloss, lotion, hand soap. I am gluten free head to toe, inside and out :)

I didn't change any shampoos or conditioners and my blood test after 6 months was normal. I just changed lipstick.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
