It makes my eyes swell and I have a very dry itchy rash from it.

It is amazing what one little thing can do to mess up your whole bodily systems. The last bite of any gluten I have had was 2 weeks ago (one tiny girl scout cookie). Usually I just feel nauseous and I can pretty much go on with my day. But for the last week I haven’t been able to figure out what is up with me feeling sick again. This morning I checked my vitamin E cream for no apparent reason and found that it has wheat germ oil. Which led me to my internet search if this could make it into my bloodstream and essentially give me a “gluten attack” as I have been calling it. I am going to quit using it and see if it makes a difference! Thank you for your article!!

It is listed as tocopheryl and tocopheryl acetate in ingredient lists. For example – when I contacted the Body Shop they confirmed that 100% of the tocopheryl they use is wheat based. 9 times out of 10, for me, if I am reacting to a product I find this in the ingredient list.

Technically with celiac disease exposure to gluten is only harmful if it is INGESTED (eaten). Many people find, however, that they are sensitive to wheat a gluten topically as well. With products like lip care and toothpaste that go on or in the mouth, it is critical that they be gluten-free, but if you are not reacting to gluten on your skin or hair, then you shouldn’t worry too much about that. If your skin is already bad though, you may want to try gluten-free products to see if that helps. Hope that answers your question!

I recently been diagnosed with celiac and just realized I have also been using this product. I was curious does this effect it? effect my skin? (which is bad) even if its just in my hair? thank you so much.

Can you please provide a Pub Med or scientific journal resource for this fact?
I have never heard this before.
Thanks!

It addresses what to do when you’re dealing with gluten AND other food allergies and intolerances. I think you’ll find it very helpful in cooking for your daughter. Please let me know if I can be of help in other recipes, as well. That book has a fantastic yeast-free, gluten-free sandwich bread, for example, that will be great for her! All the best to you both!
