i know this question has probably been asked a million times but I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion of a good face moisturizer that is gluten free, sulfate free, and paraben free and you could purchase it in a drug store or Target type store? Thanks for any input!

I don't know if Olay Regenerist in gluten free, but just don't put it near your mouth. I use it all the time and love it.

I know this might sound weird...but I just use extra virgin coconut oil. It's naturally gluten, paraben, and sulfate free, it smells great, and a little bit goes a long way. One jar will last you for years. It doesn't go bad. I just keep it in my room and use it when needed. You just dab a finger in it and scoop some up..it's great for your face, hair, and dry hands. I swear it's helped with acne as well. 

 

Obviously, if you use coconut oil for baking keep a separate jar in your kitchen for that! Good brands are Dr. Bronner's, Spectrum, etc. I found Dr. Bronner's on sale for $6.99 once. Usually coconut oil is about $10.00 a jar, but again - it will last for ages, smells great, and it is completely healthy. Your skin will absorb it pretty well.

 

As for where to purchase - I'm not sure about Target, but Stop & Shop, ShopRite, and probably Walmart will carry a brand of coconut oil. I've only seen Dr. Bronner's at a specialty health market, but you could also order it online.

I second the use of coconut oil.  It is a single ingredient product, and if you don't like the light smell of coconut, get refined coconut oil.  It goes on the skin very lightly and I use it for my facial eczema- every other moisturizer gives me acne which I can't treat in an eczema spot.

I use a lot of Garnier products. They will clearly label gluten ingredients and much of their line is gluten free.

I also use coconut oil. I use it on my little dog often. She loves it and comes running when I ask if she wants to be oiled. It leaves her coat nice and soft.

I use nearly the entire Acure Organics line, and I love it! I find it at health food stores like Fruitful Yield. It's gluten free, paraben free, sulfate free, biodegradable. I think you can get it on Amazon too

Thank you so much - I looked at it on-line and it looks like it would be a good line.  Is there a particular product from the line that you think it is a must try?

I've been using coconut cooking oil for the past 6 months and have seen a huge difference in my skin, skin tone, texture and lack of breakouts. I pour it into a spray bottle and add a few drops of both lavender and Frankincense essential oils (I use only young living oils). It's not overly oily & absorbs fast. It's the only thing I use  now & love the results!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
