Should I Buy New Brushes?

I am in the process of switching to gluten free makeup. I won't use any of it until it is all gluten free. I am afraid to use the current makeup brushes that I have with the new gluten free makeup. Is washing your current brushes good enough or should I just buy a new brush set to be on the safe side?

I just switched to a gluten free shampoo and am wondering if I should buy a new hairbrush? (I know, a little OCD, but it's better than getting glutened, right?)

If you feel that you are a little OCD about things, then it might make you feel better if you replaced all of these items. It really isn't necessary, though. It's all up to your comfort level. The only way a reaction is possible is if you are replacing these items due to a topical

wheat allergy and then I would probably replace them. You'd have to put the brushes in your mouth to spark a Celiac reaction and I doubt you'll ever do that! :P

Thanks! Yeah, my face has been breaking out, so I think I will go with the new brushes in that case and see if that helps :)

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
