For whatever reason, my dietician told me to avoid millet. Can't remember why right now. I think that some of those ingredients were WAY extreme, in fact, I think the whole thing was a CYA letter. I can't believe that they send THAT to their consultants. Basically, they're saying: "Don't sell our products to patients with Celiac."

To be safe, I have limited myself to the following: Neutrogena (I've published the list somewhere in a thread -- if you need it, let me know), Cetaphil Cleanser (the moisturizer is NOT gluten-free I found out a few weeks ago), Neutrogena moisturizer and Bare Escentuals make-up. The whole thing is a pain in the arse, but my days of being the "product queen" are now over! I used to try everything new on the market -- not anymore -- I'm too much of a chicken!

I have a list of products which my dietician gave me, and have ordered another -- if there's something you want me to look up, I'll let you know if it's on there . . . . Lynne

No problem -- I did a bajillion searches for the same reason. I got these horrible spots on my face from different products. I didn't have any trouble from the cetaphil lotion -- my biggest worry was touching my face, then biting my fingernails or something stupid like that, then getting glutened. The manufacturers would only GUARANTEE that the cleanser is gluten-free. I just use the cleanser now without water, or I use the neutrogena clean skin -- depending upon how much I'm breaking out. I'm 44 and I have acne and wrinkles. What a pain in the butt. I DO use Neutrogena's Anti-blemish Anti-Wrinkle moisturizer! I can't find any source of gluten in the cetaphil lotion, either -- but I'm kind of a fanatic about not being glutened now. (It affects my brain vs. my gut -- and your brain doesn't heal, so I've been warned a LOT about gluten) I use it on my legs, but make sure that I wash my hands afterward. The good news is that Softsoap liquid soap is gluten-free -- the clear stuff, too -- it goes on sale for, like, $2 for the HUGE bottle at Walgreens about every other week! We use that for our bath wash.

I really wish you luck on your journey -- if you have any more questions, feel free to post, PM me or e-mail me. I know where you are -- I've been there, done that and bought the T-shirt! . . . Lynne
