Hi Everyone, I am pretty new to all of this, infact I'm trying hard just to watch what I eat but here is my question. Does anyone know anything about Avon Anew products? I have used the anew alternative anti aging lotion and I love it but I don't have a clue whether it is gluten free. also can a person use Suave shampoo. We go through shampoo around here like crazy and can't really afford the high price kinds. Any suggestions would sure be apreciated. Thanks all, I sure am glad I found this site and all you kind and helpful people, it can feel pretty lonely at times with celiac disease. :(

Don't use sauve products...usually contain wheat protien. i use Loreal vive, inexpensive and good. I'm not sure about Avon products but when reading labels for topical products (lotions, face wash, body wash, etc) I look for hydrogelized wheat protiens and oils, tictonium, and milk protien. Good luck! Check the safe and forbidden lists on this site...really helped me when I first started

Hi, The section you probably need now is the product section. There are a lot of threads on shampoo and makeup. Try favorites. I use Avalon Organics Shampoo Tea Tree Mint Treatment. I have to use products without Sodium Laurel Sulfates because they cause me to itch and a rash. I still don't know of a conditioner. I just use the one with my hair color. I called and they said it was gluten-free. I still don't have all the lists myself. I use baking soda to brush my teeth because of the sodium laurel sulfates. I just keep it simple until I learn more. Hope this helps some. There is a lot to learn from this group. I bought the shampoo at the grocery store. It was about $10.00. There are cheaper ones but I don'tknow of any without the SLS. Linda Lee

Thanks Linda, that helps alot, now if I can just find out about Avon products, I could try to contact them, hopefully they will know. lol. This celiac disease is alot to try and manage. I have never been good on any diet before. I am one of the minority who has gained weight since I have been diagnosed. I guess I shouldn't complain though as being too skinny has it's own problems. Sometimes I just get frustrated and sad. Thank you so much, need a friend.

Murlene, try to look on the bright side. You know what you have. Now the only thing we have to do is learn everything we can to not get gluttened!!! Calcium and magnesium help with the weight. I don't have that issue. I do need to exercise more. Hang in there, LindaLee

I couldn't identify any specific ingredient in Suave shampoo that sounded like gluten, but the rash on my eyelids cleared up when I switched to Neutrogena. It could easily have been something else besides gluten, I suppose, but something in the Suave was definitely causing me problems.

Dear LindaLee, Thank you, I need exercise also. Just been so sore all over lately can't seem to do much besides go to work. I used to be a real clean freak about housework and now I am letting alot of things go. Actually it feels pretty good to accept what I can do and leave the rest. I wonder how long it will take to start feeling better. Say do you know what b vitamin is important for us and why? I have seen people write about vitamin b but was wondering is we have a shortage of it because of celiac or what. So much to learn. I have been taking iron and fish oil. The Dr. had me on Lipitor and then I read in the book called Celiac Bible that Lipitor isn't gluten free. Another case of the Dr. not know what we can and can't have. Luckily I felt sick on lipitor and stopped even before I had read about it. Thanks LindaLee for listening-so to speak-as I ramble on :) Have a great day and wonderful gluten free weekend!

Thank Jeanne, I apreciate you letting me know. I think I will switch to Loreal. So many things to watch out for. A person really takes alot for granted until you have celiac and have to be a major detective to find out what is and isn't good for us. Have a great day and thanks again. This site sure makes a person feel less alone and has such great people with such good info. Just LOVE it!!!!!!

Hi Murlene.

This celiac disease is alot to try and manage. I have never been good on any diet before. I am one of the minority who has gained weight since I have been diagnosed.

You have come to a good place to find a friend, I think you will find many. This is a wonderful site, people are kind and welcoming. I've only been here for a few weeks but it has already helped me more than I know how to say.

How long ago were you diagnosed?

And thanks for the question, I quit putting anything on my face just cause I got too overwhelmed to care about it.

With suave, it depends on the formula. Suave is a unilever company that will clearly list gluten containing ingredients, food or otherwise. I've never had a problem with it. Is there something else that could be bothering you?

Also, beware procter & gamble companies, they won't verify anything as being gluten-free.

Hi, I was diagnost a year ago but kept up with my ole ways and got sicker, I just couldn't get my head out of the sand and really take hold of a gluten free way of life. I figured it couldn't kill me-WRONG! then I read some pretty bad stuff about all the things that can be attributed to Celiac disease and decided I had to get real with myself and care enough about me for a change. So here I am trying to figure out all this and like you said-this site is the best for that. I have found out things I never even thought about before. Thanks for you encouraging words and keep up the good fight! Murlene

I read Suave bottles and my kids use it, even my gluten-free kids.

I like just plain coconut oil on my face. Leaves it sooo soft! There aren't any other ingredients than coconut oil, which I like, plain stuff! It's also cheap. I'm 43 and have tried many very expensive face products, this works great. My 18 year-old daughter likes it so much she asked, "Can you get addicted to coconut oil, and if you do is it bad?"

Murlene, Hi, just now saw your post. You might be a little depressed. That is another side effect. I took St Johns wort for a while. Staying on the computer so much cuts down on the cleaning. I need to do that too. It's good exercise, right? I take a B complex and B-12 3000 mcg sublingual--It is from Biochem. I don't take cholesterol medicine. I don't take any medicine. I just started iron and I do take fish oil and flax oil and a bunch of other vitamins. Keep your spirits up. LL

Murlene,

a lot of Avon products are gluten free. Whenever I find a product that I am unsure of, I'll email them and they normally reply back within a week.

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
