I was recently diagnoised with celiac. I am going to get my hair colored and was wondering about that. Do I have to watch what they use? How about going to the dentist? I have to go there at the end of the month. So many questions. I am learning how to read the ingredients list slowly. I have my safe and forgiven list with me all the time and I am checking everything. Thanks for any information.

Hi Nicki

I just finished reading the book, "Wheat Free, Worry Free" by Danna Korn. (It is awesome by the way and very helpful for a new Celiac.) She speaks of cosmetics, shampoos and such and says that there is no need to worry, (maybe if your symptoms are DH) but that you do not ingest those items (maybe if you were a baby) and your body does not absorb them, so I think you would be safe to have your hair colored.

Not sure about the dentist though. Maybe a phone call to the office to question the cleaner?

Good luck to you.

Lipsticks, facial moisturizers, and shampoos *can* enter the mouth to some degree, and should be checked for ingredients. Do call the dentist and have them check the ingredients in the products they'd need to use on you.

I am not sure if any of this is pertinent to celiac, but I would recommend to your dentist that you inform him on your condition. You may need an antibiotic, or some teeth cleaning and you might suggest that they use non powdered gloves when they do their work. I don't know exactly what they are powders with, but any power stuff makes me a little uncomfortable.

Welcome to our world. I hope that this was helpful and I am sure that others will post.

Definately make sure that the dentist knows that you have Celiac. They make a tooth cleaning and polishing product that is gluten free, but make sure your dentist has it. My dentist did not on my first teeth cleaning and I got sick. He now uses gluten-free on all of his patients. Welcome, as this forum is so helpful in every aspect.

Thanks for all the replies. I don't know why it went in here. I put this in another area. I will call the dentist tomorrow so they will have about 2 weeks to figure out things for me. Shampoo is okay, I use dove products. I can't wait to get my hair cut and colored.

I have seen a few hair colors with Wheat and I steer clear! My hair was falling out from shampoo that had wheat in it!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Matt13 · Posted

      Sorry cut out. Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejunum and everything is ok (other than some of the samples is not readable but the explanation is very small and short, villi form good samples is OK and  they only found inflammation in lamina propria. Sorry, I am little overwhelm by this and scared so dr.google almost every-time frightens me. Would my GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.

      Thanks Scott! One more question how many of celiac had normal mucosa on naked eye (i mean endoscopy) but histology was postive like marsh 3 a or b?

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.
