Do I need to be concerned about sunscreens, shampoos and cosmetics that contain gluten?</i><br /><br />Answers from Michael F. Picco, M.D.<br /><br /><b>No. Gluten-containing skin care products and cosmetics aren't a problem unless you accidentally swallow them. For this reason, avoid using such products on your lips or around your mouth. Also, avoid using gluten-containing dental products, such as certain mouthwashes and toothpastes. If you're uncertain about whether a product contains gluten, check the ingredient list on the product label or contact the manufacturer.<br /><br />Some people develop a form of celiac disease called dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), which causes an itchy, blistering rash. This skin disorder is also linked to gluten intolerance. But although it involves the skin, DH is caused by ingesting gluten, not by skin contact with gluten. So, eliminating gluten from your diet will help clear up DH as well.</b><br /><br />You don't have to believe me. But you need to believe the entire medical community.Steve Carperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04233930058408428963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939100.post-63158905892447565822015-07-02T16:05:01.851-04:002015-07-02T16:05:01.851-04:00I am a celiac.

Come to find out I am also allergic to gluten- if it is on my skin- as in lotion, lip balm, make up, shampoo or any other product I have a severe reaction. So please don't make broad sweeping statements- a new celiac may or may not know an those ppm- are too much for some- including me.

My husband and two grandchildren are lactose intolerant. Several other members of my family have severe food allergies and intolerances, red dye, nsaids, corn syrup, strawberries etc, etc. That said I think a lot of the people who worry about beauty products and other products being saturated with gluten are just a little bit wacky.

It is absolutely not safe for a celiac to use lip balm with gluten. And nail polish could chip off and fall into food, it's on your hands. Please take care of your health fellow celiacs, ignore this man, clearly he is only lactose intolerant and does not understand that our autoimmune disease is far more serious than his simple food intolerance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
