ARCHIVED Do I Have To Avoid Wheat/gluten In Shampoo ?
winki4 replied to breann6's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Definately stay away from shampoo and lotions with gluten in them! I was one of those that pooh pooh-ed the idea that I should check out those pesky lables. I had always had pimple like bumps all over myself and they itched like crazy. When I finally started reading labels and stopped using items with gluten in them, magically the bumps and itching dissapeared... -

I live in Anaheim, about 15 minutes from Los Alamitos area and will be happy to show you around. In Huntington Beach you can eat safely at Sparks. It overlooks the pier right downtown. The chefs... -

I traveled to Sweden and Denmark for 3 weeks and was so happy eating everywhere. The hotels in Sweden had gluten-free crackers labeled and available at every meal. If you told them you are Celiac, they brought out gluten-free bread for your afternoon sandwich and morning meal. They even toast it in a dedicated toaster! The Swedes and Danes eat lots of sandwiches...

Many spirit makers refuse to disclose what is in their products. I found out by getting sick. Many whiskeys and bourbons are safe while others are not. Kesslers brand...

ARCHIVED Dizziness/lightheadedness
winki4 replied to Niteyx13's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I have been gluten-free for 10 years now and found myself dizzy and lightheaded only when in my nephews car. He told me later he spilled beer in his car many weeks earlier. I only get sick in his car so I correlate the gluten in the beer is hanging around in his carpet and upholstery. I had no idea I was that sensitive! Wendy -
