As someone with gastroparesis and celiac disease i thought id share some items that have gluten or gluten byproducts to end celiac awareness month.
1. Chicken broth contains yeast extract. This is gluten free but not celiac safe.
2. Most beauty products have a wheat binding agent. If its on your face its in your mouth
3. Deodorant. Toothpaste. Perfume. Lotion. Found this out the hard way when my dermatitis flared because of gluten in my lotion and my mouth broke out in sores due to my dental products.
4. Most seasonings are gluten free but not celiac safe due to binding agents. Do research please or make your own seasoning.
5. My sadest loss was bath and body works hand sanitizer. Uses a wheat agent in most sanitizers. Especially the moisturizer.
6. If you date someone who just ate a sandwich or other gluten item. A peck is fine without brushing teeth but if they have facial hair or crumbs on their lips they must rinse their face.
Please stay safe loves and if you know someone with celiac please be aware that this is a very isolating condition and many people will brush off the cross contamination but even a crumb can cause immense pain and discomfort. Worse cases can even lead to cancer and death. You wouldn't poison a stranger because they said they couldnt eat bread, but in ignoring the request or warning thats what your doing.
If someone with celiac says no thank you to food please dont take offense we appreciate the sentiment and support but this is a very strict condition that even the smallest grain could fracture. We love you all and appreciate support and comfort.
