I just recently started my gluten free diet about a week and a half ago. I have still been having some slight pain in my sides and some general cramps in my stomach towards the end of the day at work. Last night I looked at the label on my hair gel now that i am learning more about my new lifestyle and noticed that there is definitely a wheat product in the gel. Is it possible that this could be whats causing my pains?

Keep in mind that the diet doesn't heal us instantly and it can take some time before symptoms go away. I would drop that hair gel and look for something that is gluten free. Dove, Suave, Garneir, Giovanni and Unilever are among those companies that will clearly label gluten ingredients in their products.

It took me almost 5 months to feel anywhere near normal so din't discount it yet... definitely try a different hair gel though :)

Yep, took me five months to feel 80% better and a whole year to feel 100%. I would change your hair gel, too. It's not worth it to risk getting sick over a hair gel. ;)

I really like Paul Mitchell products. A lot of their products don't have wheat in them ,but if they do, it's in bold print listed simply, (wheat).

Hang in there! :)

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Hi there, Can you describe them a little more? Do they ooze? Do they itch? Do they spread like a rash or appear like a "boil?" Has a doctor / dermatologist looked at them? Are they big? Do they seem like they could get infected if not careful? Do they disappear? (You say you get them "2/3" months, assuming you meant "2 to 3" - so have the ones that came 2-3 months beforehand disappeared?) Have you noticed what triggers them? Etc. Welcome!

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      Hello, gluten free community! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your space. I'd like to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. 5 years ago, when I was 26, I started getting abscesses on my lower buttcheek every 2/3 months. There have been a lot of them in the past few years! Now for the last year or so, I keep getting absesses on the back of my thighs. I read online that gluten sensitivity can cause skin issues, and I read that it can cause perianal abscesses, but I have not seen anything about abscesses in other locations--has anyone else had this experience? Could this be gluten-related? Much love

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      Scott, I know full well that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and gluten sensitivity is not. And I agree that there is inconsistency in the use of the terms. But my contention is that "gluten intolerance" should not be used of NCGS since "gluten sensitivity" is actually found in the gluten disorder known as Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity and, therefore, "gluten intolerance" should be reserved as a common/nonmedical equivalent for celiac disease. It also seems to me that "intolerance" implies something more severe than does "sensitive". And it just seems to me that, though there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms, there is a movement toward using "gluten intolerant" to refer to celiac disease rather than NCGS. But that is just my opinion and perhaps, to be honest, a bit of a personal crusade. Actually, we would all be better off if we quit using the those informal terms "intolerance" and "sensitivity" and just speak of celiac disease and NCGS.

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      I wonder why they put dextrose in it?
