I used to use oil of olay, but my face now gets bright pink as soon as I put it on. I tried other brands, hand creams too, and the same thing happens. I stopped using anything, and now I look like I have my Grandma's skin. HELP???!!!

Alison, I don't know what the common, offending ingredient could be, but there must be one. Why don't you try just using olive oil to moisturize for now? My homeopath recommended that for me, until I found out that it's high in salicylates. Otherwise I would try it, too.

Try "Udderly Smooth Udder Cream" (it comes in a jar with the black and white COW print).

You can get it at Amazon, CVS, many places.

I use it on my body and when I really was broken out with DH it was the only lotion/cream I could use without making me itch and break out more. It's very light and it absorbs fast and does a good job and it smells very light too. I really like it a lot for the whole body. For my face I use face creams like Olay and Yves Rocher, because I don't have allergic problems with my face anymore. But I DID when DH was bad.

However if you are allergic to something like "petrolatum" which is in almost all lotions/creams you may have a problem. Then you will have to get expensive stuff from one of the cosmetic makers. Yves Rocher has some stuff that is hypo-allergenic and so does Mary Kay and Avon and some of the other Dept. Store brands.

The link below is to the Amazon page with all the Udder Cream on it so you can what they look like and id them in the stores or order from Amazon.

They SAY that Eucerin is hypo-allergenic. You could try that too. Trying all this stuff gets expensive, I KNOW. I have a bathroom FULL of creams and lotions. Some good, some bad. But I have WAY TOO MANY!

I use Mary Kay. I used to use Eminence (all natural, organic, good stuff, VERY expensive, 54.00 for my moist.). The more I read and contact companies, the more I learn IS safe rather than NOT safe.

You might want to "patch test" stuff on the inside of your elbow (recomended by a derm.) because the skin there rubs together, so if there is going to be a problem, it would show up there. I, for one, have had reactions on my face, that I didn't have anywhere else, but that is what the Derm recomended.

You've helped me so much, I hope this will help you.

I also got the 'bright pink' flush after using all the products people have recommended on here in the past threads and others that seem to work for them. All May Kaye products 'have killed me even before dx'

Since I am under going treatment for lymphedema as a result to the cellulitis, the PT doing the MLD has said the only lotion I can use iever is 'Eucerin' I got it at CVS and large pump bottle is maybe $13.00.

It is called a dry skin therapy and is a moisturizing lotion. I ck'ed it with my Chiro and she approves too as it has natural ingreg and not peterolium (which most otheres do) I did a search on here and all say is gluten-free as i asked the Pt AND CHIRO TOO. AND ALL SAID OK...I haven't ck'd the product web site or deplphia list but it sure agrees with me and have to use every hr while up during the day. It is fragrance free & has SPF 15 UVA/UVB protection SFP 30 (not sure why these 2 #'s are listed)

good luck. Let me know how you like it.

My dermatologist always reccommended cetaphil lotion, but I haven't a clue about gluten status. I currently use olay sensitive skin (no help to you, sorry), but in the past I've used neutrogena daily defense. I have really sensitive skin and it worked well.

Have you tried any clinique stuff? Much of it is hypoallergenic...

Burt's Bees has a bunch of skin stuff you might want to check out, also.

I believe that Cetaphil only gauratees there face wash to be safe and nothing else. Oil of Olay will not guarantee their products to be gluten-free as well due to outsourcing materials. I use Neutrogena, they can send you a big list for their gluten-free products, i still have to come across one that has Gluten in it. They have one for sensitive skin. I also use Kiss MY Face products, organic as they come. Check out their website, i think its just kissmyface.com They have a list of products that do contain gluten, but the majority of them dont. They have a great olive oil lotion.

Oh man, that is rough! I am great actually (at least I am working on convincing myself that I am great!). How are YOU? Are you getting some relief these days?

And not to get off the topic at hand, Mary Kay cosmetics are "hypo-allergenic" also. That term just means free of common allergens, and is actually thrown around a lot! LOL I have had an issue with some things at certian times, and then they didn't bother me later. My derm says that the skin is an organ, like any other, and can be super sensitive depending on the diet, time of year, time of month, etc. Just food for thought.

trying not to get too off topic, for those with multiple allergies (gluten, dairy, corn, soy, etc.) what lotions do you use for your face or body? I've never had DH so I don't have to worry about that but I figure I should look into changing a couple things I've put off since going gluten-free in January since I'm not quite getting healthy yet.. I looked at a bunch of "healthy" lotions when I was out earlier and it looked like most had suspicious ingredients for at least one of the allergens I'm avoiding... I saw lecithin listed in a couple which I'm assuming is soy lecithin since there's no other lecithin I know of...

as for the Eucerin, I got the following response from them in February regarding their Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Hand Creme product:

"Although our products may not contain the above ingredients [gluten ingredients], it is always possible that one of our raw materials may contain traces of gluten because its presence is not excluded by our raw material specifications."

I'm not advising anyone not to use Eucerin by any means, just sharing the company's response, which is the same response I got from a number of companies which get raw ingredients from outside companies..

Hello,

I'm new to this board and so I hope I'm not repeating this information. Lingonberries is a gluten-free store in Vancouver, WA. My son happened to be driving through so he brought back a few things for me, including moisturizer, shampoo and conditioner. I love all three products - am having no problems with them. Now I plan to drive down and browse myself this weekend! I know you can purchase online here: Open Original Shared Link. The nice thing is that it appears that you can buy small sizes of personal care products and try them before a big 8 oz purchase. Do you want me to look at the bottle and see what the ingredients are?

Now, a few months ago I called Olay and asked about their SPF 15 and 30 moisturizing lotions (sensitive skin) and was told they were gluten free. Is this not the case?

Hi Fiddle Faddle

I have very sensitive skin and roseaca. I've been using Zia Moisturizing Cleanser--and find that I don't really need a daily moisturizer. At night, I use Zia Ultimate Night Renewal. My skin feels clean, yet smooth and not dry. My roseaca is also much better--only really noticeable if I've been out in the sun. I can't say enough about the stuff.

I've never heard of Zia--where do you find it?

You maybe right - my info is from the beginning of the year. It may have changed. I will double check. Thanks for that info...

Procter & Gamble makes Olay products, and they give a CYA response for all of their products, but the ingredients are fine. I think they will clearly list. At any rate, I haven't had a problem.

Im just thinking here... I thought P&G response also included that they get some of their raw materials from an outside source thats is why they cant guarantee them to be gluten-free (ie the fragrance) Same goes for the Pantene products they make.

Unless something has changed, which I will find out cause I emailed them again.

Ill let you know!!!!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.
