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

Thank you so much, where do I find the safe and forbidden list, I don't know to much on how to find stuff or even if I am posting my questions right.

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.

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
