Good morning, @Known1, When new to Celiac disease, It's extremely easy to blame all reactions on gluten contamination in products. Be aware that Celiac disease causes a state of hyper vigilance of our immune system. Our over stimulated immune system can react to chemicals in products and foods that normally are tolerable.

Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum! It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary. You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day. Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances...

Good morning, @Known1, When new to Celiac disease, It's extremely easy to blame all reactions on gluten contamination in products. Be aware that Celiac disease causes a state of hyper vigilance of our immune system. Our over stimulated immune system can react to chemicals in products and foods that normally are tolerable. Bananas contain natural rubber latex allergens. Many people, including me, react to bananas because of the latex allergens which can prompt a contact dermatitis reaction from handling the peels, or a more serious, possibly anaphylactic reaction if eaten. Because we can't be absolutely sure about ingredient purity, it's beneficial to use products without all those mystery ingredients. I use Vintage Traditions Tallow Balm. Tallow balm is made from rendered beef fat, used for thousands of years for moisturizing skin and naturally gluten free. You're familiar with how oil floats on water. Our skin on the outside acts as that protective oil layer which protects our water based insides. Tallow absorbs quickly and easily into the skin without leaving a greasy or waxy feel. Beef fat is more similar to our own fat, and so is more easily assimilated. Artificial moisturizers made with mineral oil and petrochemicals, and plant oil based moisturizers are not absorbed as well and can leave a greasy or waxy feel after applying. I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, so keeping my skin healthy is important. Tallow Balm improves skin by delivering those helpful fats which are needed to build that protective layer. My blisters heal faster and with less scarring when I use Tallow Balm regularly.

I put lotion on every morning. I also eat a banana every morning. Sometimes I wash my hands prior to eating my banana and sometimes I do not. I started noticing a reaction and couldn't figure out what it was from. I found this thread regarding Lubriderm lotions. (Actually there are several, but this is the most recent, which is why I am replying here.) This thread did not provide a definitive answer, so I contacted the manufacturer via their website. Below is their exact reply. I inquired about two of their products, Daily Moisturizer (in the white/blue bottle) and Advanced Therapy (in the white/pink bottle). In short, Lubriderm IS NOT guaranteed to be gluten-free. --Start quote: Thank you for contacting Lubriderm®. We appreciate your interest in our products. Kenvue fully complies with all regulations on ingredients in the countries in which our products are sold. Wherever regulatory authorities have set limits on certain ingredients, our product formulations either meet those limits or contain a lesser amount of the regulated ingredient. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and safety that have been our hallmark for generations of consumers. Although the gluten was not added to the Daily Moisture Lotion, we cannot guarantee that cross-contamination with gluten did not occur in the manufacturing process. In addition, some of the ingredients in the product may have been purchased by us from outside distributors, and we cannot say with absolute certainty that cross-contamination did not occur at their facilities. We recommend that you speak with your treating physician if you are concerned that, with your particular sensitivity, the product’s listed ingredients may trigger an allergic reaction. Thank you for understanding. If you have any more comments or questions in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out again.

Hello @Heavenly Flower Welcome to the forum! It will take time to master the diet and find what foods you can eat but I'd suggest what might make it easier is to keep a food diary. You can write down what you ate, and then any symptoms that arise in a day. Patterns do start to emerge. Also, it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes intolerances are temporary. I was temporarily dairy intolerant following diagnosis, and my gastroenterologist advised I should come off dairy for 3 weeks to see if it helped with painful lower abdominal bloating, and it did. As I have healed I have been able to consume it again. If you get symptoms consuming 'pure oats' (gluten free oats, i.e. oats grown apart from and processed separately to gluten containing crops, andthe only oats we as coeliacs should be eating), the advice here in the UK is to stop eating them, then try them again in about six months. Not to discourage you but it too me some years to be able to eat them without getting a sore stomach, but now so long as I don't overdo things, I can eat them every day.

Welcome to celiac.com, @Heavenly Flower! You're off to a good start but you can certainly branch out some. White rice is fairly devoid of nutrition. Baked potatoes with the skin (washed) would be a better choice for the starch unless, that is, you don't do well with members of the nightshade family. Yams or sweet potatoes would be even better because of the beta carotene. Do you have issues with eggs and dairy? How about fresh fish? What about fresh fruit? There are also non gluten alternative grains like quinoa, buckwheat (not related to wheat) groats and sorghum that are sold by companies like Bob's Red Mill that can be used for hot breakfast cereals. Gluten free oats is also an option, though some celiacs can't do oats because the protein in them (avenin) is similar enough to gluten to cause a reaction. Gluten is found only in wheat, barley and rye.
