My hands are super dry this winter already, they never get this bad. They are so dry they are raw and nearly bleed and make me look all wrinkly.

Anyways I went home this weekend so I went to my drugstore and I think I buy 99% of the products under 1 brand name (in fact it was me who suggested they get it in in the first place haha), but they DID have the handlotion!

I've only used it yesterday/today and it helps..it doesnt burn to raw skin, dries fast, etc.

Its called "Cliniderm Soothing Lotion" ... and pricy--$9.99, not including GST...but I think its worth it!!

Thank you for the info--I have emailed the company to see if this is available here in New York. My hands are already getting so rough.

Nice to see you, hope you are feeling better than the last time we talked. Deb

Sounds great. I donno if we have that around here or not. Last year my hands were like yours and the entire suface of my hands were bleeding....I got to were I could barely move my hands or do much of anything. I found that Gold Bond Ultamate worked miricles on my hands very quickly but this lotion is the tickest lotion I have ever ran into. Although it did soak in quick. Even my husband who hates lotion uses it. I will have to try this one and see if it works any better. I donno if any of you use hand sanitzer but I know of one that will not dry your hands out it actually helps moisturize them made by 3M. We have used it for almost a year now. Last winter we used it at least 20 times a day while our daughter was hospitalized for 3 months. If anyone wants to know more about it pm me.

The problem is that your hands are dry from lacking skin oils, and these water-based formulas either soak in or evaporate. What little residue rinses right off.

I mix up equal parts of cocoa butter, coconut oil, and jojoba and heat until warm and mixed. Just a drop or two at first until you get the hang of it, but it can be used on any dry skin. After I have some on my hands, I run a bit through my hair to keep it silky. It even keeps down static flyaways in the winder.

I find if we use antibacterial soap in our house, two of my kids and I get cracked, bleeding hands in the winter. If we use non-antibacterial soap, we don't. I even send my kids to school with non-antibacterial soap.

Well we do use antibacterial soap (at home, and I do here in Yorkton) but I always have to wear gloves when doing dishes so I dont actually contact the soap...and the other one I use is Dove for Sensative Skin so that dont eat up my skin either :lol:

Hopefully you guys can find this in the U.S.!!

I'm not talking about washing dishes, I talking about hand soap. Most of them are anti-bacterial ... seems you have to go out of your way to find one that's not!!

Thanks for the tip on the lotion.

Yes, AND those foolish anti-bacterial soaps are finally getting the press they deserve- they only contribute to bacterial resistance to antibiotics! We NEED to be exposed to a few germs. I've refused to jump on the anti-bacterial bandwagon because it doesn't make sense to me. Those hints for dry hands, though, are all greatly appreciated. I'm still using Lubriderm and hoping it's still gluten-free!

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      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.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
