<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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!
