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 ?.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
