<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am new to the list and newly diagnosed. I have noticed messages concerning gluten-free cosmetics, soaps and household cleansers. I was surprised to see this. I know that substances can be absorbed transdermally, but I thought that Celiac was a disorder of the intestines. Although I have switched toothpaste due to the possibility of swallowing, I had never even considered absorption through the skin to be a problem. Can anyone explain ?
