In the addition to following a strict gluten-free diet, it is recommended that anyone with Celiac Disease avoid ingesting gluten from non-food sources. The most common situation where this would be a concern is with cosmetics, many of which are not gluten-free.
So far the best resource I've located for determining which non-food products are gluten-free is the recently launched
Gluten Free Cosmetics list, which closely monitors cosmetics and products that fit into the following 39 categories:
- Acne Treatment
- Anti-Aging
- Blush/Bronzer
- Body Lotion/Oil
- Body Soap/Body Wash
- Concealer
- Conditioner
- Deodorant
- Diaper Cream
- Dual Powder/Foundation
