Gluten-Free: Should People with Celiac Disease Use Gluten-Free Shampoo?
Gluten can be found in a lot of skin and hair care products. While it’s not 100% necessary for people with Celiac Disease to use gluten free shampoo
some people find that using shampoos gluten irritates their scalp or skin.
For example a case study presented to the American College of Gastroenteroloy last year suggests that gluten free products is the way to go. A 28 year old women who had successfully managed her celiac disease through diet, found her that when she used a new body lotion she had issues. She developed an itchy, blistering rash on her arms, along with stomach bloating and diarrhea. When she stopped using the lotion her symptoms went away.
