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!

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
