We use St. Ive's collagen elastin. It's the red white and blue bottle. Love the stuff. It has fragrance, but some of the other St. Ive's may not. I love their stuff. Cheap but good. Also love Clay Aiken's Christmas song, "Mary did you know". I just downloaded it onto my iPod. :D

Anyone know of Bath and Body Works lotion being gluten-free?

Sorry--I don't know about the Vaseline or B & Bodyworks. I wanted to suggest the lotion from The Gluten Free Savonnerie. It is produced in a gluten-free facility and is very mild and creamy with no scent at all. My hands get very dry and chapped in the winter especially. Most, if not all lotions I have tried always made my hands sting when applied. The GFS lotion does not sting and does not leave my hands greasy. For a child with Celiac (where hands may go frequently in the mouth) I think this would be ideal. I actually use it on my eyelid where I have eczema.

Lisa-

I thought most Bath and Body Works lotions had oats in them... therefore they aren't gluten-free. I can't account for all their lotions, so perhaps there is one that is okay, but I think most have the oats in them.

Be careful with Burts Bees...they cannot gurantee their product lines. I used one of their gluten-free products (from their list) and I had a rash for over a week. With more inquiry they admited that they do not clean their lines between products and gluten containing products are run on the same lines...see the same type of debate over "Dove" under new posts. I highly recommend www.tropicaltraditions.com all their products are gluten-free there is zero chance of cross contamination and they even have a scent free lotion for people with severe allergies...It's the one I use now!

Cetaphil is gluten-free. There was a post by JerseyAngel (I think) wondering about it--her bottle didn't have an 800 # on it. Mine did, I called and was told that U.S. and Canada have the same manufacturing plant, and that most items are gluten free. I have to find the post. Hang on a sec.

Open Original Shared Link

Okay, there's the link and here's the comment in case the link doesn't work:

He said that all the products in both Canada and the U.S. are manufactured at the same facility and that they are all gluten free EXCEPT something called Capex - a prescription shampoo (which judging by sales, almost no one is being prescribed he says).

He also said that he gets lots of calls from people wanting more "natural" ingredients in the products and he said that he tells them sometimes natural is not necessarily better for some people.

His name was Todd and I reached him at 1-800-467-2081. That number is for Galderma Canada, I don't know if they can give you a contact number for the states if you want to contact them yourselves.

ShiKai makes a "Dry Skin Therapy" lotion that's marketed towards diabetics and those with eczema. Moving from a nice, 70-80% humidity southern california where I never use heating to a 35-40% humidity because you're always using heating seattle has done a number on my skin, but this stuff is great. It's gluten-free, fragrance free, and absorbs well with just a little massaging in. (And usually, I don't think that lotions that others tell me "absorb well" do that!) It's pricey, but better, by far, than any other lotion around. I won't give up my Alba Organics body butter (mmm... papaya mango body butter...), but this stuff is better for the really bad situations. I can even tell that my skin is less dry 12 hours after using it (which is good for me!!).

Tiffany,

Does Alba have many gluten-free products? I went to their website and the papaya mango looks so good. :)

Most of their products are gluten free. A few may not be, but I don't recall which. I use their green tea and aloe facial moisturizer (I usually hate facial moisturizers en masse) and the body butters (both papaya mango and kukui nut). I haven't tried many of their regular line, but the ingredients will list wheat fairly plainly if it's in there. As I recall, oat is more likely. But the ShiKai lotion is better than the body butter on a regular basis. (I'll use the body butter if I'm looking to "wear purfume", because I don't particularly like perfume either. :-) )

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10).

Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.
