Curel skin care

Hi everyone,  

It has been awhile since I have been on here.  You helped me out so much back when I was first diagnosed 11 years ago I am sure you can help me again.  I am having a problem right now (Covid is not bad enough 😷) and thought I would ask your opinions.  I have been having a gluten problem for the last couple weeks and trying to figure it out.  I just realized today that I had started using a new skin lotion by Curel about the time that this started.  In the beginning of becoming gluten free I had a problem with shampoo so if shampoo can do it to you I am sure skin lotion can also.  Has anyone had a problem with Curel? The ingredients seem ok but I have seen a couple comments from 10 years or so ago that it had gluten but is not supposed to now.  Can you help?  Thanks in advance.  Stay Safe!

Susan

I'm not sure of the exact product you have, but on their site:

https://www.curel.com/en-us/products/dry-skin-care-therapy/

They list the following ingredients, and I don't believe any contain gluten, but there is a little warning at the end:

WATER, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, GLYCERIN, COCAMIDOPROPYL BETAINE, PROPANEDIOL, GLYCOL DISTEARATE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, CETYL ALCOHOL, COCAMIDE MEA, BEHENAMIDOPROPYL DIMETHYLAMINE, DISODIUM COCOAMPHODIPROPIONATE, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, CITRIC ACID, METHYLPARABEN, PANTHENOL, SODIUM CHLORIDE, GUAR HYDROXYPROPYLTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, DISODIUM EDTA, CITRUS AURANTIUM DULCIS (ORANGE) PEEL OIL, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, SODIUM HYDROXIDE.

Yes I saw the warning and also read some posts that in the past it did contain gluten but not supposed to now.  It is 3 days since I quit using it and I feel fine now so not using it again.  I went through a similar situation with a Calcium product where there was no gluten in the ingredients but when the company checked it out there was gluten.  So hard to trust any thing you read.   Here is the product I tried - the unscented one.  https://www.curel.com/en-us/products/fragrance-free-lotion/

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thanks @knitty kitty for keeping me thinking about the importance of vitamins. And I appreciate you sending those papers (gives me something for my science brain to work through! I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my ...

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Yes, that seems to be the gist. Quantifying residues in fermented foods and drinks seems to be difficult. There are no tests for total gluten, just immunoassays, which generally detect a single epitope. There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments...

      Gluten Allergy

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days...

      Gluten Allergy

      Thank you so much Scott- hearing this actually brought tears to my eyes! It is so hard to explain to people/in-laws who question me all the time- I’ve considered just telling them I have celiac disease to stop the questions. Knowing I’m not alone helps tremendously. Thank you 🙏

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      So, as I understand this, there is uncertainty as to how much the gluten protein has to be degraded before it is safe and doesn't cause a reaction. There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem...

I’m a PhD in biology so I like reading these sorts of things). It’s been surprising to see how little is understood about the cause of fibromyalgia. My Vit D went low again on my last blood test so I know I’m back to being deficient there (it did go up for a while but back down again). Whomp whomp. So I’ll be both reading about and taking vitamins. Thanks again for your input. Really appreciate it.

There are estimated to be approximately 50 sequences that evoke a T-cell response of which nearly half are unknown and have no test. Gluten fragments remain that bind to IgA and IgG in vitro but this does not necessarily make them immunotoxic. Also, the fragments are "drastically reduced" by gastrodudenal digestion. PEP enzyme cannot cleave all proline sites and there is a large variation in the amount of residual gluten in gluten reduced beers. I.e. the safety of gluten reduced beer is uncertain.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty, I really appreciate all the feedback. I have had 2 biopsies of my small intestine that are negative for celiac disease. I have not had the genetic testing though, so that is something I will look into, since the biopsies were done without a prior gluten challenge. I tried one once before an allergy test and was sick for days. I do know that I don’t easily methylate my b vitamins but have to be careful taking methylated versions as they give me too much energy and I can’t sit still or sleep.    I also prefer magnesium glycinate but I only take it in the mornings because I have to take it with food to avoid stomach upset. I’ve often wondered if I have leaky gut syndrome and my symptoms indicate yes. I appreciate hearing what works well for you. I think I’ll focus on benfotiamine and see if I can tolerate it and/or it makes a difference. I really need to find a good nutritionist or naturopath. I’ll keep looking. In the meantime, thank you for your support!

There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem with other "gluten free" products made from wheat starch such as certain pizza brands.
