Dry Hands

I have been having an issue with my hands and being dry. This year has been particulary worse than previous years. I think it may have something to do with my celiacs.

My question is what type of over the counter lotions can I use to help with the dryness? I dont know which lotions are safe.

Any help would be appreciated!

I use Vaseline Healthy Hand & Nail. It absorbs quickly, and strenthens nails - and of course, it is gluten-free.

Vaseline lotions are gluten-free.

Johnson's Softlotion Creamy Moisturizing Oil is gluten-free--and nice, not greasy. California Baby's Sensitive Body Lotion is good, too.

I use the neutrogena hand cream, I've found nothing that works better! You don't need much and it works!

Most Lame Advertisement lotions are gluten free and they don't contain lanolin (which, believe it or not, is a common skin irritant). My SIL is/was a consultant and she checked with them on gluten content and she came back to me with a big list of gluten-free products. I wish I still had it.

I switched to 'natural' products when I went gluten-free, and you would have to order it online--but I love the Tropical Traditions lotions. I get very dry hands that crack and bleed in the winter and this lotion has made a big improvement. Love it ! Open Original Shared Link I bought the lavendar and rub it in every night before I go to bed. I use it every night, but I still have more left in the jar and I ordered it probably 10 mos or so ago...

My hands are always dry also. I know it's because I am constantly washing them to avoid cross contamination. I wash them after feeding the dog, giving her a bone, before preparing meals, and of course when I go to the bathroom. I can't tell you how many paper towels I have used, so I don't risk getting gluten on my towels, soap, or the knobs on the sink. Is this over doing it a little bit, or what?

I use Vaseline products also.

I have extremely dry skin and use Vaseline Intensive Skin Therapy and Burt's Bees Hand Salve. Both are amazing!

FYI - I had been using Vaseline Intensive Care Total Moisture for dry skin and it contains "Avena Sativa (oat)" so I don't think all the vaseline lotions are gluten-free...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
