I have noticed my face really breaking out lately and not sure if there is a coorlation or not. What face washes or make up are out there that is safe. Thanks

Dove soap and mineral foundation. My kid uses a tea tree oil soap that is labeled gluten-free. Her skin is oily. Might be a food that triggers. I have Rosacea and things like red wine and garlic (known allergen for me) triggers it. Try keeping a food journal.

I use a PLAIN Neutrogena bar of soap. My face is clearer than it's been in ages.

I actually do not wear make up, but have heard fabulous reviews of red apple lipstick and Tarte . Now for skin care (washes and things) , I use Andalou naturals. All but a small list of items are gluten free. I know some may think I may be over the top in my vigilance but after having that substance wreck so much of my life I'm over and done with it and avoid it at all costs. But I'd suggest the brands above to see if any of them look good to you.

I switched to using all Alaffia products.  Their entire line is gluten-free, and I believe organic and fair-trade as well.  Since I began using their face wash and lotion, my skin has been a lot clearer, even after accidental gluten exposure, which typically results in a serious acne outbreak.  Their shea multipurpose cream with neem and other botanicals also helped a lot with a bout of DH I was dealing with.  I am super chemically sensitive and react to many things, but I tolerate their products very well and find them soothing to inflamed skin.  The other thing that helped my acne was taking Nordic Naturals purified fish oil supplement, since I was low in omega-3s.  Not sure if you take fish oil or not.

I've started using this that I found at Whole Foods.  No guessing if it's gluten-free  :) Open Original Shared Link

 

All Physicians Formula make-up is gluten-free, so I use that too.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
