Hello,
I am wondering what the effect of wheat amino acids or wheat germ oil has
on people with DH?  I have been talking with a cosmetic chemist
who "swears" there is no gluten in wheat germ oil and wheat amino acids.
(there is no protein left in the fat/oil when processing)  I would like to
clear this up as I am formulating a line of skin care products.  I am
celiac but don't have DH but sometimes get a skin reaction to some skin and
hair care products.  Now I'm not sure if I'm allergic to wheat germ oil or
if it's a different ingredient in the product.  I don't get the severe
reactions shown on some websites.
Are there any medical professionals or others who have chemical background
or some kind of medical documentation that the oil and amino acid is
actually a culprit for DH?  I searched various medical web sites on DH and
never did they say not to use these ingredients.  They only specifically
say to avoid wheat/gluten foods.

Thanks for any info!
