Is Cerave safe to use for Celiacs? 

 

I got this response from the company:

"Thank you for contacting Valeant Customer Service.
 
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International does not add gluten to CeraVe products.  However, this cannot guarantee that it is gluten free because of the possibility that trace amounts of gluten may exist in the raw materials.  In addition, the suppliers of the ingredients may change from time to time.  Please consult with your healthcare provider."

I use it all the time - every day!  I don't eat it, so I guess, if someone was going to eat it, that might be an issue.

I use the lotion, but the facial sunscreen contains gluten now or at least they did at the beginning of the summer.   Why they added it (probably sourced it out), I do not know.  Check the labels as they can change ingrediants.  The company statement is their way of protecting themselves.  I try to not eat lotion, like Karen said, but I am careful about sunscreen.  Riding my bike causes me to sweat a lot.  Yep, it goes in my eyes sometimes and in my mouth.  Gross!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
