Bath And Body Works Ingredients

[nik-ed]

I have a boat load od Bath and Body works lotion that has oat in it. Is this still okay to use? I would hate to give it away. Some I have had for a while so I don't think I could try to exchange it. Any info would be great. Thanks.

everyones different, but I would use it

The body cream I use every night is bath and body works, though it does not have oats..unless you plan on licking your skin or eating it lol

A word of caution based on experience. After applying the lotion wash your hands. I glutened myself by licking my fingers! This prompted me to just get rid of everything. I was angry at myself for being so stupid.

Hi Nicki--I wouldn't use it, and here's why. When I was first on the gluten-free diet, I had no idea I had to check my products for gluten. I was using a hair gel at the time that contained wheat starch. About 2 months into it, I was feeling better, but not completely--every afternoon, I would get D. When I found this board and learned I should check my hair and body products, I put 2 and 2 together--I am a nail biter , and was getting the gluten in my mouth off of my fingers! It would be the same thing if a person were to lick their finger, or some similar thing. I saw a difference after I got rid of all gluten containing products. Oats are questionable, at best, and I wouldn't take the chance. Of course, it's up to you

I definitely would not recommend using it. This most definitely would have gluten in it and can easily get into your mouth in some way.

Thanks for the information. Most of the ones I have are the repair hand creme/lotion and I don't think I better use them. I am going to call and talk to the manager and see if I can exchange some of it for just the body creme. That one(the body creme), I was looking at and it doesn't have oats in it. thanks again.

One of the products I used to make was a wonderful oat soap. It made the skin so lovely but after my dx, I made sure I got rid of the ones I had kept for myself. When I first got dx'd I was glutening myslef with everything. It isn't worth it to me to use it and accidently gluten myself. The other thing is when anything with gluten in it touches my scalp I get lesions.
