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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
