What is gluten disguised/called in lotions/beauty products

Hello wondering what to look for on labels for lotions, shampoos, cosmetics, etc., to know if there is hidden gluten in the products.

I have been eating gluten free for two years yet my numbers for celiac came back over the charts. I am getting it from other sources - and didn’t know I had the disease. Really need some help in discovering.

thank you! 

Pamela

You have to eat gluten to get a Celiac reaction.  So, for things that don’t get in your mouth, it’s not important.  There really aren’t  many products with gluten. A few will have wheat germ oil.  Things like the vitamin e in a product , even if made from wheat, does not contain gluten.

You  might want to really examine your diet.  Do you eat out? Do you have gluten in the home?  You might want to try the Fasano Elimination diet for a few months.  It seems to get people ‘s numbers down when they are having problems.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      I was diagnosed with celiac and basically had stunted growth because my body wasn’t taking In nutrients which may explain the weight loss I would take this seriously and get tested
