Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil

Hi

I have googled and searched through some posts but not really found much info on this topic....

I have found one source that says DH sufferers have damage to their skin which allows gluten from topical products to pass through to the bloodstream, therefore causing reaction.

Does anyone find using moisturizing cream with wheat listed in ingredients cause their DH to flare up?

Anyone have any experience with this?

TIA

I do not use moisturizing lotions or creams with wheat listed in the ingredients. For one thing, if it were on my face, it can get into your mouth. If it's on my body I still do not use it. If I touch whatever part of my body it is on & then touch my lips or without washing my hands first, then I would risk getting it into my mouth. I use Vaseline Intensive Rescue repairing lotion on my body & it is gluten-free. I wash my hands a LOT and every time I do I put lotion on so I go through a lot of lotion.

 

I would never use any lotion or moisturizer containing wheat on any part of me that had any open sores or were subject to scratching from dh. Studies have been done that say the gluten molecule is too large to pass through the skin. What has not been studied (to my knowledge) is what happens if the skin is abraded or there is a lesion and gluten is applied to it.

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.
