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.

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten consumption is discontinued, these processes cease. Antibodies begin to disappear from the blood and the villi begins to rebuild. Many people begin to experiment with the gluten free diet before they seek testing and their doctors often neglect to check for this before ordering blood tests and biopsies.  If you want to be sure that you don't have celiac disease, you would need to endure a "gluten challenge" for a period of weeks. This would consist of resuming gluten consumption in the amount of at least 10g daily (the equivalent of about 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and then get retested or re-biopsied. But regardless of whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) the antidote is the same: total abstinence from gluten for life.

      I can’t remember if I had started the gluten free diet or not. 
    • trents
      Welcome to the forum @Bridget connors! When you had the blood antibody testing done and the biopsy, had you already been restricting your gluten intake for a significant period of time, say weeks or months at least?
    • Bridget connors
      Hi my name is Bridget I was newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity but I have a very severe reaction to gluten and was wondering if anyone else has this and was told they didn’t have celiac. My brother and his son have it and I think I do as well. I have horrible burning lips that started three years ago that turned into cracks sometimes in the corners of my lips and my lips swell and turn bright red all around the edge and burn and tingle. Then I started get sores on my tongue and inside of my lips. When there’s a bad flare of if I eat any sugar or citrus it’s like I’m burning my mouth and more sores appear. I had chronic diarrhea to the point of incontience sometimes and stomach pains nausea. Migraines then came horrible leg and hand feet cramping. Then joint pain. Sleeping problems vomiting and more recently very foul smelling gas. So I stopped eating all gluten and every symptom has gone away. If I accidentally eat gluten it comes back with a vengeance and more symptoms appear each time!!! It’s crazy it’s like the gluten is poisoning my body. This last exposer my ear was killing me and the lymph node behind my ear and my throat and a big canker on the side of my tongue. Anybody with any thoughts?? I’ve had biopsies and blood tests everything comes back normal I don’t get it.
