Beyond the Plate: Do You Need Gluten-Free Bath Products? – Video

The Impact of Gluten on Your Skin and Hair

Dr. Vikki Petersen addresses whether gluten-free products like lotions and shampoos are necessary. While science suggests the gluten molecule is too large to penetrate the skin, some people experience topical reactions, especially those with a strong immune response.

Dr. Petersen advises caution, especially with products near the mouth like lipstick, which can be ingested unintentionally. She recommends opting for gluten-free products to minimize health risks, especially for those with gluten sensitivity, autoimmune disease, or a family history of celiac disease.
