Why gluten free products?

People often wonder why I use only gluten free beauty products. Since I have Celiac disease I obviously can't eat gluten but who said anything about beauty products? Well for me personally I get a skin reaction as well but I would recommend to anyone who has Celiac disease to use gluten free beauty products either way. Research shows that we do absorb things we put on our skin and who knows what we do and don't actually absorb or accidentally digest. Most women swallow around 4 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime! I bet a majority of us have gotten shampoo, hairspray, soap, and makeup in our mouths at least a couple times. I can't imagine putting something on my skin that contained a unhealthy ingredient that caused my body to attack itself and cause me severe pain and damage. That's why I say I don't just eat a gluten free diet, I live a gluten free lifestyle. So if you have Celiac disease and are still having symptoms my suggestion would be to read the labels on your everyday beauty products and if they are not gluten free then maybe you need to go to the next step and only use Gluten free products;)
