Ok I need some help with beauty products or basically anything that isn't food or medication.

I am new to the gluten free lifestyle and my question is I elimanated gluten totally from my diet but is it necessary to also limit it from your other products like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, and makeup stuff like that? I don't have any skin problems other than the occasional acne breakouts so I'm wondering do I have to watch all of that stuff also if I'm not having any out of the ordinary skin problems?

Thanks for you help!

Yes it is necessary. It's not a matter of it absorbing into your skin(unless there is an open cut)...it is a problem of getting traces into your mouth which can happen even if you are very careful.

The things like lipsticks and toothpastes which are right on your lips and in your mouth is an obvious given.

Soaps...if you wash your hands with gluten containing soap and then prepare your food, it now has traces of gluten

Shampoo...if can easily get into your mouth whie washing hair, how many times a day do you unknowingly touch your hair...you then get gluten on your hands

Hairspray/perfume....airborne can get into your digestive tract so that can cause a problem

Makeup...how many times do you touch your face or rub your eye and not even think about it

Have to be careful about kissing to if your partner has been eating gluten

You have to think about every angle of possibility of contamination...the slightest amount can cause damage and products are a real threat.

If you have not got helpful lists yet you are welcome to email me and I can send them to you.

Angela,

I have a reply from Paul Mitchell that lists all their gluten-free products. It was posted here but if you can't find it (I am new too and it gets confusing to find posts!) I can email the list to you.

Angela-

Yes, switch out those products! I don't use anything anywhere on my body with gluten. Go here to see a list of all the products I use. Also, oof the top of my head, crest toothpastes are gluten-free. Open Original Shared Link

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.
