I have struggled with acne for some time now, and i thought finding out i had celiacs was gonna clear me up, well, unfortunately here i am and no such luck.   i have read online that giving up dairy for others had helped. im glad to hear it was worth it for someone, gives me confidence to take the step myself. 

Dairy-induced acne actually runs in my family, so it definitely happens. My mom would always break out with dairy, especially cheese. My brother would (maybe he still does? I dunno) and I always knew I did. I majorly cut back on dairy for a month before my brother's wedding to clear up my face for photos. 
Oddly enough my back acne cleared up after giving up gluten, but it wasn't until I gave up dairy again that my face started looking better (except for this week, but that's for other reasons).

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      I just wanted to share that my daughter reacts to quinoa and corn, certified gluten-free. Who is to say if her threshold for handling contamination is lower than 10ppm or it's cross reaction. I never bothered with oats for the same reason.

      I would disagree with your assessment of the scientific validity of cross reactivity. It has been established in such things a CMP and meat glue. And it may be more difficult to confirm with regard to "gluten free" oats because of recent question marks about the reliability of certification protocols, the celiac community is pretty well convinced that cross reactivity applies for some with regard to oats. But even putting that aside,  I do not see your point about cross contact in this instance. If the total product checks out to have not greater than 5 ppm of gluten, what does it matter if the oat component has experienced some cross contact with gluten? The same concern would exist with a myriad of other ingredients found in the product. Why focus on oats?

      Cross contact. Cross reactivity has no valid scientific evidence.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      One thing you might consider is getting genetic testing done to see if you carry one of both of the genes that have been identified as providing potential for developing celiac disease. About 40% of the population carry one or both but only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used as a rule out measure. If you don't have one of the genes, but you know that gluten causes you issues, then you can confidently concluded you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease. Your physician can order the gene test and there are also third party companies that you can do this through where you order a home test kit and take a cheek swab sample and send it back to them for analysis. I think the home test kits cost around $200.

      I don't see any point in seeking allergy testing to determine if you have a wheat allergy. I think you already know that you need to avoid use of skin care/hair care products that contain wheat and it's derivatives.
