EpiLynx makes gluten-free cosmetics and cream, and are one of our sponsors. I’m sure there are other companies as well:

What do you mean by safe?  As long as you are not eating your night cream, it should not set off a celiac disease reaction.  I worry about sunscreen, because sweat can run off my face and into my mouth (when riding my bike). 

I use just a Walmart knock-off that is comparable to CeraVe.  I like an unscented lotion that just moisturizes.   Those wrinkle reducers?   Not for me.  Too harsh.  But these reasons have nothing to do with celiac disease.

I would only add that there are some people who don't believe that gluten contact on the skin can cause issues for someone with gluten sensitivity, however, there are also many who have reported various issues until they eliminated a skin product that contained wheat. No matter where you stand on this the fact is that there are now many different companies making skin and cosmetic products that are labeled gluten-free, so why not opt for those?

True!  Sometimes piece of mind is priceless!  My shampoos and conditioners are clearly marked gluten free.  

You can have a wheat allergy in conjunction to celiac disease.  And those with DH?  They must be extra careful.  Some report that gluten on their skin is a no go!   Please read the DH section of the forum for tips if anyone struggles with Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

I don't use otc creams many of them have too many ingredients for my skin. I use witch hazel, aloe, coconut oil, or coconut oil/shea depending what level of moisture I need.

As for the gluten-free label or doesn't matter if it contains gluten it's on your skin etc. I have tried out both philosophy s . I have had the experience of using a friend's liquid soap with a cut on my finger and developed a DH bump on that same finger shortly after. I then realized the soap had wheat in it. I was fortunate the eruption  was confined to that finger , although I itched in other areas too. I'm am a sensitive one.

I stick with no gluten no oats in the products I buy.

good luck

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
