Since i am new to this (gluten-free lifestyle) I am not really sure what i can and can not do (besides diet). I read in a book that most celiacs or gluten intolerants- should not be wary of items (like lotions, shampoos, etc). Since I've been coming here i've been reading differently... So do those items effect some celiacs and not all? I use apricot scrub by st. ives and i've never noticed a problem. Should i worry just in case?

A lot of us like to be 100% gluten-free in everyway.

I used to nt care about my make-up and shampoo being glutenfree. However, after a few months gluten-free I noticed that these gluten containing products really bothered me. The shampoo now gives me a rash and makes me itchy and the same with the make-up.

Some say thats an allergic reaction rather than a Celiac one but since so many of us have issues with it I think it is related. Maybe the longer gluten-free you are the more sensitive you get.

Plus, when you use shampoo in the shower sometimes it can get in your mouth, the same with nail produts, and lotions (on your hands).

Yeah Kristina is right. I used to not care as well but then I had reactions as well... I choose to be completely gluten-free in all ways.

If you haven't already check lipsticks too...that is common to forget but that definitely gets into your mouth and I had a problem with some lip balm with vitamin E that was derived from wheat that was causing a reaction. It's better safe then sick :D There is wonderful info about products that are gluten-free on here and if you don't know about something just ask and I'm sure someone will have an answer for you :D

Kaiti (or anyone else who knows), you mentioned Vitamin E having wheat sometimes. I heard this for the first time recently, so now I'm paranoid about buying anything with Vitamin E, just in case it's wheat derived. Do you know how common this is? Would the company (if they are semi-gluten-free friendly) have to declare the Vitamin E is wheat derived? Or is this just one of the "modified food starch, natural flavors" etc. issues that we have to worry about?

Thanks for any info anyone has!

It's something that can be derived from wheat...but not always...it's something to check on. If the company is like Kraft or something it would be fine but I check every time I see it for brands I do not know about...I learned the lesson the hard way.

I don't think this list is complete. One I didn't see listed is this:

Hair Repair Intense Conditioner

That has hydrolyzed wheat protein, too. I used to love this one...

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      Hello, My mid twenties daughter is blaming my husband and I for her celiac disease.  She has not been diagnosed at all, but GOOGLE has informed her she has it.  She is going to go get tested now, but my question is, did we?  I was not the best cook while she was growing up and often made quick processed food for meals.  She is blaming us for what she ate growing up and is angry that we didn't feed her better.  I don't know how to react and all I could tell her was I was sorry.  Her older brother has Crohn's disease and he was diagnosed as a teenager.  She is also furious with us that we didn't change his diet either.  I don't know why I didn't and I am having so much guilt I don't even know how to handle this situation.  Both sides of our family have a history of IBS, Celiac and Crohn's disease.   I guess I just wanted to hear from anyone out there that can either point blame at me (I can accept it) or tell me that the food she ate growing up didn't have an affect on her.  I am thinking it most likely did. Thank you, Marie

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.
