I'm trying to check all my health and beauty products for possible gluten. I've seen a long list of ingredients somewhere that are not safe, but I can't seem to find it now. Does anyone know where I can find that list? Don't know if it was on this site or another one. It was a very long list of chemical names you find on shampoo etc. I don't see what I'm looking for in the info for newbies.

I've made a list of all my products, and finally have the courage to check them all, but I'm having brain fog and not getting anywhere after lots of searching.

Also I've seen a list of safe products, but can't find that either.

Hi Sara, I have thought it's about time I checked this out too. But I've not been able to find a list, either... Will keep searching

I know that there are a lot of posts on here to the contrary, and that doctors are sometimes wrong, but every scientific source I've read indicates that gluten must be ingested for it to cause a problem. So items applied to the lips may cause a reaction, but nearly any other healthy and beauty item should be safe.

If anyone has a medical source stating otherwise, I'd be interested to see it.

Products change, so you always need to read labels. It seems beauty products change more than food products, but that's my personal observation.

As far as a study regarding beauty products and gluten and Celiac I dont know of one.

I think the presumption that a beauty product WON'T be ingested is silly. Anything that gets on your hands - lotion, or drips into your mouth (or even eyes) - shampoo, conditioner, could potentially cause a reaction. As could an aerosol through inhalation - hair spray with wheat germ oil?

Some people also have skin type allergic reactions to gluten, which is different, but still apparently prevalent.

Personally, I developed swollen eyes after 2 months gluten-free from eye and face cream that contained gluten. I had used those creams for YEARS without a problem. Since then, I've screened all beauty products for gluten.

Something different works for everyone, but just consider how likely you are to transfer something onto your mucous membranes before you buy it.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
