Time for another celiac disease myth buster!
Myth: All skincare products need to be gluten-free
Fact: When it comes to gluten in haircare and skincare products, research shows that the gluten protein is too large to be absorbed through the skin, and it must be ingested to cause the intestinal damage seen in celiac disease. So as long as these products are not being ingested (like lip products), people with celiac disease do not need to avoid them.
That said, if you notice a skin reaction to products containing gluten-derived ingredients, it’s best to follow up with an allergist or dermatologist. This could point to a separate sensitivity or condition, such as wheat allergy or contact dermatitis.
Will you help study a possible treatment option for celiac disease?
You may be eligible to take part in the DAISY Study if you:
- are 18-75 years of age
- have a diagnosis of celiac disease with intestinal damage
- still experience symptoms of celiac disease despite attempting a gluten-free diet for at least 1 year.

“May contain wheat” labels can be confusing for people with celiac disease. A food can meet the gluten-free standard of less than 20 ppm and still carry this warning if the manufacturer cannot fully rule out cross contact.
In 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization introduced a proposed celiac-specific reference dose for gluten. This work aims to help answer an important question: when is accidental gluten exposure high enough to warrant a “may contain” statement, and to better ensure these labels truly reflect risk rather than uncertainty.
This reference dose has not been adopted into regulation, but it’s an important step toward clearer, more meaningful labeling for the celiac disease community.

What if dining out could feel less stressful?
Clinical trials are currently testing treatments to protect against accidental gluten exposures.
