Hi all!! I am rather new to having celiac disease. I was Glutened Thursday and am trying to figure out the culprit. Has anyone gotten sick from Monat shampoo? They claim it’s gluten free, but I newly used it on my hair before bed and woke up the next morning ill? TIA for any info

Unless you were singing in the shower and swallowed a bunch of shampoo, chances are it was NOT the shampoo.  I think I would be choking or vomiting just from swallowing any soap, gluten free or not.

If you are new, expect  setbacks.  It can take months to heal (sometimes years). It takes time to build up antibodies or time for them to stop increasing.   Many celiacs have intolerances that are often temporary (e.g. lactose, soy, corn or Xanthan Gum).  Did you eat out?  Eat any oats?  

Review our Newbie 101 thread posted at the top of the “Coping” section of the forum.  

I hope you figure it out.

It is very easy to ingest shampoo and conditioner in the shower. I am a mouth breather and get both in my mouth all the time when rinsing. Monat’s products are NOT gluten free as they claim. Majority of their products contain hydrolyzed wheat protien and/or wheat amino acids. It is said that the gluten molecule is too large to pass through the skin, but if you have broken skin or a rash, it can pass through. Monat has other harsh chemicals in their products as well, which have been known to cause rashes and skin leasions, therfore creating that opening in your skin on your scalp. A lot of people do react negatively to gluten in topically used products.

Yes, I just used 3 days of Monat and have been sick since. I had decided to search and see if there was anything on this product and found this. I wish I had searched before I used the stuff ?.

      Rectal pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      I also have experienced this from time to time.  It seems to tie in with episodes of IBS, eating too much fibre but also because I have issues with my pudendal nerve - perhaps some sort of inflammation.  Not fun at all when it strikes.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      Do the skin care products that give you a rash list wheat as an ingredient or are you assuming from your reaction that they contain gluten? It is possible that not only do you have celiac disease, which is not an allergy but an autoimmune disorder, but that you also have a wheat allergy.

      Thank you, I’m very happy to be here!! Yes, lately I get rashes and itching when I accidentally use topical skin products with gluten in them. I got a bad rash around my hairline after unknowingly using glutenous hairspray, and a near-full-body rash with a sea salt spray that I guess I rinsed off insufficiently in the shower. Neither looked like typical dermatitis herpetiformis to me based on the posts I’ve read here—both were just large patches, red and slightly raised, with no blisters to speak of. At least yet. The sea salt spray was used yesterday and I noticed the itching this morning, with the rash forming obviously by this afternoon and evening.

      Thanks so much for your thorough reply! I was able to schedule with the local pediatric gastroenterologist who specializes in celiac but we have to wait 3 months to see her.

      Sorry, meant to type "or dermatitis herpetiformis for short". What? Every time I try it, the abbreviation for this skin condition is converted to the full length term. I'm trying to type "D" followed by "H".
