Can anyone help me? The Neutrogena Build-a-Tan has made my skin peel which can not be good. Plus now I look tan with white splotches where I peeled! Does anyone know of any other tanning lotions that are gluten-free or have the names of any I can look up on the Delphi list? I so loved the Jergens Glow but that has oats. I wish I could just order that product without the oats please! Thank you!

Check the ingredients on the coppertone fake tanners:

They should be gluten-free, but I would check just in case.

I use the new Dove Energy Glow tanning lotion. Dove clearly lists gluten, and there are no gluten ingredients in this lotion. I've heard it's similar to the Jergen's (it's gradual and builds up to a tan), so you might like it. It has two tones, too: fair and medium.

Thanks! I have not seen this yet. I had the Jergens last year, but had to toss it when I went gluten-free. I use Dove anti frizz lotion on my hair, and have had no problem with it. Going to CVS today, and will check it out--thanks again :)

Speaking of sunless tanning--I wish more manufacturers would make the towelettes. I used some (before I knew to check labels!) a couple of years ago that I ordered from QVC. They went on so evenly--no streaks or splotches, and the color was very natural looking. I think that would be the perfect tanner--gluten-free and in a towelette B)

Jergens is not gluten-free :blink: I have been using that the last couple of weeks. My head has been so itchy I wonder if that is why. I couldn't figure it out at all.

Wow, thanks for that information. I used the Jergens last year and really liked it. I still forget sometimes to check the labels on things that I don't ingest. Thanks for the reminder

I used tan towels several years ago. No streaking with them.

I think QVC sells them

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
