I was just informed that shampoo/conditioner/soap/makeup etc. can be a problem because of the gluten, so I hope someone here might be able to help me - at least until I reach the companies by phone. - I now know what my Friday and Sunday will look like - on the phone the whole day!!!!

Anyway, the companies I need information about are: Avene - their sunblock cream, Extremely gentle cleanser, Skin recovery cream and hand cream. Clinique - moisture sheer lipstick, glosswear for lips. Cetaphil. Oral Defense toothpaste - cool mint. LIP BALM - Lip Protection, cherry flavor with moisturizing vitamin E. (it also says on it super G - is that the company name?)

One last question - can Vitamin E be a problem?

I really don't know where to start. I really never thought that these items could be a problem. I guess, when you think about it, it makes sense, so why don't doctors say anything?!?!?!?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Yes, those products can be a problem and I have personally reacted to non gluten-free suncreen. I am not sure about the products that you mentioned but I will give you info on some gluten free equivalents:

Suncreen - Banana Boat (I also think that Coppertone is gluten-free, anyone have a conformation on that?)

Toothpaste - Colgate or Crest

Lipstick - Avon and L'Oreal (in Canada anyway)

Soap - dove will clearly indicate gluten

Shampoo/Conditioner - Dove (will clearly indicate gluten), Garnier Fructis (I read on this site that it is gluten-free).

I'm sure the others can give more info than that. Hope this helps.

so why don't doctors say anything?!?!?!?
I'm not sure... I've wondered that myself, I think they are too busy to say anything and leave it up to the dietician or nutritionist.

Vitamin E can be a problem. I has lip balm I was using months ago and I had a bad reaction and I could not figure it out. Turns out the Vitamin E was derived from wheat :angry: Learned my lesson there

Some doctors are numbskulls and just don't know everything. To tell you the truth you keep learning things along the way though. You just have to check everything.

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

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
