I checked the website of the face lotion I use - Dr. Haushka's - and it had the 'answer' in a Q&A section. In that case, many of the cosmetics used wheat germ oil, but they claimed to have removed all the protein in the process. They mentioned a couple things that have gluten.

I don't know if other componies do this as well. I also have been Emailing companies, with varying results, about their products. You might try that. Otherwise, I'm too new at this for any meaningful advice.

The best way is to contact the company of the cosmetic that you want to use. Or try posting a message to the forum since someone may have already recently contacted the company.

I just heard back from ShiKai, a healthy brand, and they say all but their oatmeal shower gels/soaps are gluten free.

Does anyone know about hair dye? I have been "washing the gray right out of my hair" for a few years...can I continue?

Hi--I use Shikai Shampoo and Conditioner, and love them! All of their hair care products are gluten-free and SLS free. Most of their bath and body care products do contain gluten, though.

I use Loreal Feria to color my hair. I verified by phone that it had no gluten ingredients. :)

      Certified gluten free oats

      By trents · Posted

      Your doctor may or may not be well-informed about the issue you raise so I would not agree that he/she would necessarily be the best person to rely on for a good answer. The question actually raises two issues.  The first issue has to do with cross contamination and individual sensitivity as dublin55 alluded to. Oats and wheat are both cereal grains that are typically grown in the same areas, transported in the same trucks, stored in the same silos and processed on the same equipment. So, there is usually significant CC (Cross Contamination). With gluten free oats, there is some effort to separate these processes that would otherwise cause significant CC and "gluten free" oats should meet the FDA requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm of gluten. But this 22 ppm standard is not strict enough for more sensitive celiacs. "Certified gluten free" oats (and other food products are held to a stricter standard, that being not exceeding 10 ppm. But even that is too much gluten for some super sensitive celiacs and will cause a reaction. The second issue with oats has nothing to do with gluten per se but with the protein found in oats called "avenin". Avenin has a structure similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction in some celiacs. This is called "cross reaction" not to be confused with "cross contamination" discussed in the previous paragraph. So, for whatever reason, whether cross contamination or cross reaction, it is estimated that about 10% of celiacs react to oats.

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By dublin555 · Posted

      Karen, that sounds really tough. You must find both RA management and your new gut problems extremely irritating to handle at once. Together with your pain relief you still experience ongoing bloating complications that drag on without a resolution. Of course visiting a doctor to obtain a proper celiac diagnostic evaluation becomes necessary when no formal diagnosis has been received. Your journey toward recovery has been lengthy yet it brings comfort to notice your progress during this time. This support group offers you valuable help because there are people experiencing the same concerns with you. Working through your issues will be easier.

      Certified gluten free oats

      Yeah, it’s tricky. I’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions too. Some folks can tolerate certified gluten-free oats without a problem, but others with celiac still react. Honestly, it really depends on your sensitivity. Your doctor would be the best person to ask about your specific situation.

      I can't edit my posts, but I forgot to note as well: I also had low iron and vitamin d according to my blood tests, despite already taking supplements for each
