So I am going to be 55 I look horrid! I hate the bags under my eyes and red lines on my nose and chin. I just look 65 instead of 55. I hate my self! One of my problems is. They say hydrate your skin! Ok every lotion or potion I put on my skin makes me break out. I use a battery operated scrubber to wash, any soap of any kind, I break out.. If I use any type of lotion bam! I break out! Ughhh You know they say hydrate hydrate hydrate! Its been this way since I was a teen. The more products I use the more I break out. Any answers? Or products you think will be ok? I hate the way I look ! Doesn't seem to matter Gluten free or what ever... Does not matter!

I recently switched to olay age defiying daily moisturizer and its light and not greasy. also I use olay revitalizing foaming cleanser 7 effects. I was using loreal stuff for years and some kinda deep pore scrub. I became sensitive to the retinal -a they put in a lot of these products. I also use infalliable makeup by loreal and it never makes me break out, itch, or anything. they all work very well together. I'm nearing 50 in a month and it makes me look 40. I get compliments all the time. Hope this helps. Also I don't eat fried foods or drink soda.

I also wanted to say if you want to hydrate from the inside out, Pumpkin works wonders.  It helps your body and skin retain moister I buy pumpkin puree and add sugar and cinnamon and just warm it up.  Its loaded with vit. a and excellent for your skin

TY Badcasper for commenting, I am using a Loreal under eye firming jell, it works but the one for my face breaks me out. This stuff isn't cheap! I will try Olay I have to see if it's one I have tried before, I don't drink soda, And I very rarely have any fried foods. I only notice it when I put anything on my face hydrating lotions.

Coconut oil. Inside and out

CeliacSharon beat me to it. Coconut oil. You can use it as a mask overnight, then wash it off in the morning. Maybe use a little bit in the morning too and after it soaks in a bit, apply your make-up as usual.

I use Coconut Oil on my hair.I tried it on my face before and bam zit city. I do not wear make up because every time I do Bam breaks me out. I tried sensitive skin and everything eles. I am not concerned about make up I am more concerned about under eye wrinkles ..

Yes! Coconut oil. 

 

Every lotion and potion you can buy in a store will have some form of preservative, alcohol, silicone, etc., that dehydrates your skin. If you look at the ingredient list you'll find alcohol somewhere at the top. This will dehydrate and irritate your skin faster than any of the good ingredients can do something good for your skin. Dehydrated skin will wrinkle faster, so any lotion, make-up remover or anything else you put on your skin should be free from any damaging ingredients.

 

I just use pure oils for my skin, even to remove my makeup. I will wash my face with water and then use argan oil with a kleenex (coconut oil is solid at room temperature so it is more difficult to apply). It cleans as well as any store-bought thing could and doesn't involve synthetic stuff on my face. Coconut oil is awesome as a shaving cream or as a deep treatment for dry hair.  

 

Play around with different oils like argan, almond, jojoba, olive and also shea and olive butter. You will find something your skin likes.

ok sounds like oil does not work for you.  I sent some other replies from my e-mail but I don't see them here so excuse me if I am  repeating myself. I use honey PURE RAW HONEY and warm it and brush it on with makeup brush or fingers.  I do it once a week but it can be done daily.  I like to do it in the shower or tub because I can be messy.  leave on for a few minutes and rinse with warm water.  It cleans  with out drying or needing a moisturizer and leaves skin looking younger and soft.  If honey makes you swell like it does me but didn't years ago, use the BUCKWHEATHONEY.  it is not a gluten grain, it's just the name of a flower that they pollenate off of, wich is in fact gluten free.   I have also used honey just recently and in the past for a skin growth that looked like not a mole but skin cancer.  I put the honey on it with a bandaid over it for two days and it fell off.  shhhh! don't tell the government or they will outlaw it and kill all the bee's..  that spot came from where I spray perfume and had been using chantily that I just switched too.  Might be  just a coincidence.  good luck

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, ...

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
