    Everyday Shea is line of hair products sold at Whole foods that is Gluten free except for one of their scents. Desert Essence is also a line of skincare products that is gluten free except for one of their scents. In hair products a lot of manufactures add hydrolyzed wheat protein and obviously that is NOT gluten free. Just to be clear not all celiacs...

    Five Guys is a great place to go for french fries and very low risk of cross contamination. I believe they do use peanut oil (didn't look to se if that was an allergy of yours).

    I also feel that I am much more sensitive to alcohol since going gluten free. I have never been a heavy drinker, just an occasional glass of wine on a saturday night but I find it hits me much quicker and harder then before. I have a strict 2 glass limit no matter what the occasion.

    I have celiac and do not experience symptoms (that I know of) when I am contaminated. My question is for those of you who live in a house where there are also those that eat gluten, do you use a separate dish sponge/dobie/cloth to wash the dishes? My antibody levels have been very slow to drop and I am trying to figure out if I am getting contaminated somehow...

    Sales assistants in US at most stores do not know which lipsticks are gluten free. It really requires an email to the company and you have to specify a color. So for some of my old lipstick that I loved I sent an email to the company. For any new lipsticks I stick with lines that are gluten free. Even one makeup line that is completely gluten free called...

    When I first went gluten free after my diagnosis I was also instructed to only worry about lipstick/lipbalm. I loved my hair products, they all had gluten and I really didn't want to switch (except I did make sure my hairspray was gluten free since i felt that probably did land on my lips at times). However, 6 months later and no budge of my antibodies...

    I have Celiac and follow Weight Watchers. It is a very flexible diet and so it fits in well with the gluten free diet. I was diagnosed with celiac 3 years after maintaining my 50 pound weight loss. It took a little adjusting but I still think this is one of the best methods to try to learn to eat right. I do a agree seeing a nutritionist who can help...

    I found this line at the Wholefoods near my house and love it! I just tried the Kinky Curly custard which makes my curls look great. Thanks for the tip. GfreeMO-- The Original Sprout Products look great but having a harder time finding them. Thanks for the tip! During this process of searching I also have found a line called Beautiful Curls that make...

    Thank you all for your help. I was under the impression DH=celiac but didn't want to give out misinformation.

    I was chatting with a coworker the other day who mentioned that she has had this horrible rash for years, missed diagnosed as psoriasis but went to new Dermatologist who said classic DH and recommended eliminating gluten from her diet. She has eliminated 95% of gluten from her diet and rash much improved. My question is: Is all DH Celiac or can it be gluten...

    I have used Cerave before, didn't realize it was gluten free, thank you. It works well for me most sesons but I find in the winter, not quite strong enough.

    Does your skin feel oily after using the jojoba oil or shea butter? How do you keep the palms of your hands from being to greasy? Do you just use this once or twice a day and not re-apply during the day?I appreciate everyone's help.

    What's your favorite gluten free hand cream? I wash my hands 10-20 times during the day and need a good handcream, especially for the winter but even now in the summer, my hands are dry and rough. I prefer one that is not too oily once it is on.
  16. NJceliac
    Thank you. I looked them up online and I will look for them at Whole Foods.

    I appreciate everyone's suggestions so far. I was using Redken's Fresh curls line and more recently got into Devacurl line. My hair is larger curls but can frizz some. I am looking to stay with products that are silicone free. If anyone is still using products with wheat and not having a problem I would love to hear from you as well.

    I am looking for advice on gluten free hair products, specifically for curly hair. All my hair products currently contain gluten. I don't ingest them but I am worried about cross-contamination from touching my hair and then eating something with my hands. Although I wash my hands a lot to try to avoid this, I am rethinking this process and it seems it...

    It is uncomfortable at first. When I recently visited someone, I emailed ahead of time. I began the email about how thoughtful they are to always have food for me and while I appreciate it, for now I am being more strict and need to bring my own food. No doubt it stings a little but made my stay much more comfortable for me.

    I was diagnosed with celiac with positive serology results as well as a positive biopsy after a workup for premenopausal osteoporosis. I also have IgA deficiency so most of the serology tests are not able to be used to follow the antibody levels. On this forum I have seen some people give specific values to tTG antibody results even if they are greater...

    Given your age even without celiac you have a 30-35% chance of miscarriage. Even if you were thirteen weeks at time of diagnosis, how big was the pregnancy measuring and did the physician send the pregnancy tissue for chromosomal analysis? If the chromosomes were abnormal then most likely not related to celiac but the most common reason to have a miscarriage...

    Make sure the vitamins you may have started when finding out you were pregnant ae gluten free. Also, you may want to get your thyroid checked.

    I joined Weight Watchers October of 2007 and lost 50+ pounds and have kept it off. Then I was diagnosed with Celiac 12/1/2012. I still follow weight watchers and keep track of my points. It is very doable since you make all your own food choices. I have gained about 6-8 pounds since going gluten free which I feel is probably related to my gut healing...

    Although some people experience a weight loss at first due to a drastic change in the kinds of food they eat overall people who go gluten free ultimately gain weight as their gut heals and they stop malabsorbing. Also, gluten free processed products tend to be very calorie dense compared to there gluten counterparts.
