Aveeno and Dr Teals With Oats

I am covered miserably in rashes. I used to get hives a lot when I was young and my mom had me use oatmeal in my bath. I got a second degree sunburn once and my doc said use aveeno bc the oats in the lotion are good for the skin. So I bought aveeno oatmeal bath and dr teals oat milk bath. Then I questioned it bc of the oat issue. Are these products safe and okay to use since they contain oats or should I avoid ? I’m desperate for something soothing to my skin

I had been using Aveeno before my diagnosis, and figured out it was causing me issues, probably I was touching my skin, a simple scratch could do it, and it getting to my mouth. I can tolerate oats but only if they are the Purity Protocol oats, which aren't what would be in Aveeno or any body or skin products. If Purity Protocol would be used, the company would surely brag about that as it's very expensive.

Thank you so much for responding! I was beginning to feel silly for posting my question. I tossed the aveeno and other oatmeal bath items I had.. bc I didn’t know what to do.. but man those oats are in so many bath things!! I had no idea. I did purchase some gluten free colloidal oat stuff on Amazon .. hoping it’s okay

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:

Thank you! I wasn’t aware of iodine. So no iodized salt? That’s what I always use bc of thyroid??
I am currently waiting to get in with dermatology. I feel like this rash is definitely related to gluten bc it has appeared off and on for months now and it occurs in the same spots each time. It has me miserable!! It just keeps getting worse or flares back up, especially after sitting or sweating or heat or anything like that. It’s driving me mentally insane! It looks like a lot of the pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis on the net as well. 
 What sucks is I realized in all this process I wasn’t doing the gluten free thing 💯 right again 🤦🏼‍♀️ as in correctly reading labels and hidden gluten in ingredients, not double checking labels and foods instead of making assumptions, not been avoiding cross contact correctly , haven’t been checking skin products or checking meds and supplements and vitamins etc., so in going back to food journals an checking products and meds and supplements etc I now know that I have had gluten off and on , sometimes a lot and sometimes only a little, with a rare break of no gluten for maybe 2 weeks since December of last year- so that’s like 6-7 Months of gluten   🤦🏼‍♀️😫

Not all people with DH react to iodine, and if you have a thyroid condition be sure to discuss any cuts in iodine with your doctor. Some people with DH may have an issue with iodine.

Okay thanks for the information! So since I’m looking at 6-7 months that I have had some level of exposure to gluten off and on, am I basically back at the beginning starting completely over with healing and all that?

There is no way to tell for sure, this would depend on the level of exposure and the time period, and it would be different for each person. 

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

Okay thanks! I am going back to the beginning and re-learning things and trying to figure it all out… again 🫤thanks for the great information!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
