Geez, I'm on a roll today trying to find culprits to this hideous feeling! Is Lubriderm gluten-free? I thought it was but now am unsure. Maybe we're just all supposed to buy nothing and use nothing and eat only things we swat or find on trees! I'm losing it!!!!! And I feel the planet is losing it as well! Since I think we're kind of a big detriment to the earth as a whole, maybe this is the beginning of humans going down the evolutionary tube!

Thanks, anyone out there.

Can't vouch 100%, but I use it every day. Not the one with oats.

I used it for awhile (the one without oats) and was feeling ill. i called them and they said that they do not know all of their sources so they do not guarantee anything gluten-free. this might not apply to you (this was about in december?), but i wanted to let you know.

It's hard to trust anything you don't make yourself, eh? Gggrrrr...

Thank you. I was using the Lubriderm as a sunscreen but I think I read on here that Banana Boat is gluten-free so maybe I'll try that. I like Burt's Bees, so I'll get some hand cream.

Thank you!

This tread is over three years old. Here is some current information based on the 2009-10 Cecelia's Market Place Gluten Free Grocery Shopping Guide (found in the Gluten Free Mall)

Lubriderm -

Daily Moisture Lotion (Advanced Therapy, Fragrance Free, Regular, Sensitive Skin, w/SPF 15, w/Sea Kelp Extract, w/Shea & Cocoa Butters)

....all gluten free

***just because a company cannot confirm their products gluten free status, does not mean it is not gluten free. Many times its a business CYA statement. Check the ingredients and find a second source.

I dont know where that last quote came from but I just called lubriderm myself this WEEK and was told they cannot guarantee their product is gluten free. I posted this on another part of the board too under something like calls I've made this week. I had called specifically about the sensitive skin lotion, but I believe they said ANY of their products could have cross contamination.

I am celiac and very careful about my diet. I have used Lubriderm for years without any problems, but recently I have developed a rash that looks exactly like dermatitis herpetiformis. Before I realized that there was such a rash, I thought it was just very, very dry skin. So I was using more and more Lubriderm AND guess what -- the rash got worse, really, really worse! I do not know what is in this lotion, but I do not recommend it, to say the least.

I can relate to the frustration.  Some days I get like that.  I try hard to be careful, yet still have problems.  I have seen on the Kiss My Face website that all their products are gluten-free.  I just ordered a Kiss My face grapefruit bergamot hand lotion from amazon and couldn;t wait to get it. My hands have been so dry that they are sore and sting when I get them wet.  The lotion came yesterday and I started happily rubbing it in, and then realized it did not smell like citrus at all.  In fact, it smelled awful.  I couldn't stand it and had to keep washing my hands trying to get the smell out.  I found what might be an expiration date, and if so, it expired in 2016.  It might be rancid and that might be the gross smell.  Now I am seeing if they will refund my money or not.  I felt so frustrated because my hands are so dry and sore.  The two stores in town that used to sell Kiss My face are no longer in business.  I will have to check out a new store in town to see if they sell it (but I have  been feeling so awful I never feel up to going out, I only go for things I must go out to do),  or order directly from Kiss My face.  I do like Kiss My face products a lot. I just wish they had more scents. I'd love to find a gluten-free rose lotion.  If I can't, maybe I can find an unscented one and add rose essential oil.  Rose is suppose to be good for hormonal issues (even in men too, go figure).  Or so I have read and heard.  I also would love to find a gluten-free lotion that helps skin firming and elasticity.

I use cocoanut oil. And I use Shea butter. I bought online. Comes pure straight from Africa.  I checked out Bath and Body shop. It’s all gluten free  I don’t use Lubriderm but my hubby asked me to put it on his back  nothing happened to my hands  but gluten would pass through the pores into your body  and I wouldn’t know it

I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low levels of gluten exposure and maybe that’s what’s making me ill. Possibly other things also not helping the situation (like dairy). Anyway this gives me something to focus on to see if it helps. So thanks for that!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com, @Rejoicephd! 1. "Gluten Free" does not equate to "contains no gluten". According to FDA advertising regulations, it means it cannot contain more than 20ppm of gluten. This is a good standard for most in the celiac community but not good enough for those on the sensitive end of the spectrum. If you find the "Certified Gluten Free" symbol on a package that is even better, indicating that there is no more than 10ppm of gluten.  2. When you are choosing "gluten free" items from a restaurant, realize that it only means gluten is not an intentional ingredient. It does not rule out CC (Cross Contamination) caused by those cooking and preparing the food back in the kitchen who may be cooking it on the same surfaces or in the same pots/pans as they are gluten containing food items and handling it with the same utensils they are handling gluten-containing food. 3. About 8% of celiacs react to the protein avenin in oats as they do the protein gluten in wheat/barley/rye. In addition, some cultivars of oats actually contain the protein gluten. Many celiacs also react to the protein casein in dairy products as they do gluten or they are lactose intolerant. Eggs, soy and corn are also common "cross reactors" in the celiac community but oats and dairy are the most common.

      Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’m starting to think I need to just bring my own food everywhere I go). And also even when I am eating foods that say they are gluten free, I’m still dealing with an upset stomach often. My GI doc said I should avoid dairy as well, and the internal medicine doc said my gut microbiome might be messed up from all of this. I’m just looking for some answers/ideas/tips on what additional things I can do to feel better. Do you all do avoid additional categories of foods beyond just gluten to help alleviate symptoms? Thanks!

      If your total IGA is low then the values for the other IGA tests cannot be trusted. They will be depressed. Celiacs who have the DQ2 gene typically are on the more sensitive side as opposed to those who only have the DQ8. But keep in mind that having either or both of those genes does not equate to having celiac disease as 40% of the general population have one or the other and only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. Genetic typing can be used for ruling it out, however. Because of the low total IGA, symptoms and the possession of the DQ2 gene, my suggestion would be for you to go seriously gluten free for a few months and see if your symptoms improve. It may be the only way you can ascertain if you are gluten intolerant because of the low total IGA.
