I myself wouldn't know since I am lucky to grab a 5 minute shower before the kids are pounding at the door for something or other (any form of pampering in this household is strictly prohibited..... <_< ) but I did find this at delphi:

Bath and Body Works (800.395.1001) (00/00/00)

Many are gluten-free (but double check....some contain oats and someone was told all products are

gluten-free.... I wouldn't trust it on face value)

Sounds like only the ones with oats are questionable, and I guess that depends on what your take on oats are. Some believe they are safe, some do not.......

Rhiannon is 7, and I have twin boys who are 4. Don't even get me started on the bathroom breaks. Having chronic diarrhea and small children do not mix. Having to be in the bathroom 20 times a day, they are constantly knocking on the door, absolutely no comfort there (not that there's any comfort in having diarrhea, but still.......... :D ) Either that, or the boys will pick the times that I am in the bathroom to decide to fight over a particular toy or book or tv channel, whatever. Ah, the joys of motherhood :rolleyes:

It was nice of your hubby to get you a gift card for that. My hubby knows me all too well. He knows my first choice were I to get a gift card would be to have one from Home Depot (I am a real do-it-yourself fixer upper. I just finished fixing the toilet - needed a new flapper tank ball.)

Hugs.

Bath and Body works clearly labels oats in the ingredients, and they are not in every product.

I've found that most if not all of the regular lotions contain oats, but the thicker body creams seem to be ok.

Can anyone back that up?

I remember being in there at Christmas time and getting very depressed :( All of my favorites have oats in them. I found a foot cream that did not have oats. Needless to say I left without a bag. If you have found some that are oat free please post. I would love to go and get a bag!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
