Shampoo With Gluten?

Recommended Posts

i have been on a gluten free diet for 2 months and have yet to see improvement in my edema (swelling) all over the body. i noticed this morning that my shampoo may be the root of the problem? does anyone know if cosmetics could cause this type of reaction, even if they aren't ingested?

Opinions and research vary on this topic. I am personally topically gluten free, with papers to back up my decision. Most doctors will tell you it's not necessary except for lipstick/balm. There are others on this board who point out that your eyes drain into your sinuses and thus into your stomach, so gluten free eye makeup is a good idea. Also, if you touch your face a lot, and can't train yourself out of it, or your hair for that matter, you may want to consider gluten free makeup. To induce an immune reaction, gluten must enter the digestive tract, and cannot be absorbed through the skin. However, myriad opportunities exist for potential glutenings with gluten topicals. PM me for a link to a short YouTube clip on this topic if interested.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
