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...

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
