Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hi Kerri, I don't think it's from breathing in the dog food, as you have to ingest gluten to have it effect you, but I do think it's from the residue on your hands after handling it. Paper plates I wouldn't worry about. Personal care products: that's a matter of personal opinion. I agree with lotion, etc...as that can get from your hands to your mouth. Unless you have DH, or chew on your hair, I wouldn't worry so much about shampoo, etc... But, if it makes you feel better to avoid those things then you definitely should. I just wanted to voice my experience of the last year and a half of being GF (successfully, as shown by the follow up bloodwork.) Bridget From: SillyYaks [mailto:SillyYaks ] On Behalf Of kerri brenSent: Friday, December 16, 2005 8:44 AMTo: sillyyaks Subject: Odd things to avoid Got an e-mail from a nurse at Enterolab who said to watch the gluten in personal care products. In addition, she said not to eat hot things on paper plates as many have wheat starch in them and this can get on/in your food. She also cautioned that many dry pet foods have wheat in them and that you can breath in the dust when putting food in you four legged friends bowls. I had noticed that my nose would get drippy after feeding the dogs, had thought that this was from bending over. Now I cover my face with a dish towel when feeding them and the drips have disappeared.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Bridget- As for "breathing" in gluten ... my daughter gets sick if she is sitting at the kitchen table and I am baking something with gluten in it. I talked to her pedi gastroenterologist and he informed me it could be from the airborne flour when it is put into the mixer. I guess everyone has different levels of sensitivity. My daughter is really sensitive which is why I was wondering about the shampoo. She has never had a problem since going GF with the shampoo, but the previous mention of accidentally ingesting it probably would make her sick. Thanks for everyones input.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Right, she's breathing it in through her mouth, which in turn travels to her intestine. Dog food, though, is probably less "breathable" than flour bc it's heavier, and therefore the residue on hands is probably more apt to cause a reaction than airborne. That's all I was saying, not that airborne particles of anything isn't possible. Sorry for the confusion!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I just wanted to comment on the gluten-free shampoo/soap: after switching over I no longer get hot at night, having to throw off the covers. When I went to the hairdressers to have my hair cut/colored - that night I was hot and itchy. For years I thought I had been in perimenopause, but it appears my symptoms were from CD. I believe I have DH as well, but it has not yet been confirmed. So, it depends on the individual.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Since we seem to be taking a poll, I thought I would say that I too think that whether you use shampoo products that contain gluten is a personal choice. If you notice a negative reaction (the most likely reaction would be itchy skin or rashes etc. since it is directly applied to the skin), then don't use it. Personally I don't worry about shampoo, bath gels, soaps, or even lotions, although I also don't rush out to buy ones with wheat in them either. I do however try to be very diligent about reading the ingredients of lip sticks and chap sticks, as this is something applied frequently to the mouth and may be involuntarily consumed. I have two cats, and try to avoid directly handling the food. We have plastic containers I can open and tilt without having to mess around handling it directly. Pretty much all of the pet food out there contains gluten in some form or another, so keep those two year old celiacs away from the kitty or doggy bowl! (my cousins ate their doggies food once when they were in the terrible two's, three's, or fours...) About the airborne contamination- I think it is possible that gluten in the air from flour or other flour like products can have a negative impact on the celiac's health. Bette hagman has several anecdotes about Celiacs suffering ill health from their occupations, such as drywall construction worker (gluten in seaming paste), people painting their homes with paint containing gluten, a photographer whose film was separated with wheat flour, and a baker. I try to avoid being or hanging out in places like bakeries, pizza places, etc, and I would never bake floury gluten products myself. But, we all have different comfort zones. I also am not worried about the paper plate issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I just heard an announcement on the news today that a new type of ecological throw-away dishes are available now.
