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

Thank you!

I got home from work last nite where I clean so much and wash my hands constnatly...I made my boyfriend do the dishes because I couldnt' bear to get my hands wet one more time! The tips of my fingers are all dry and crackly!

I'll look for it.

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 journey is it gluten or fiber?

      That’s really frustrating, I’m sorry you went through that. High fiber can definitely cause sudden stomach issues, especially if your body isn’t used to it yet, but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things ...

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlorietaKaro! As Scott indicated, without formal testing for celiac disease, which would require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten daily for weeks, it would be not be possible to distinguish whether you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Their symptoms overlap. The difference being that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel. We actually no more about celiac disease than we do about NCGS, the mechanism of the latter being more difficult to classify. There are specific antibody tests for celiac disease diagnosis and there is also the endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining. Currently, there are no tests to diagnose NCGS. Celiac disease must first ruled out. Researchers are working on developing testing methods to diagnose celiac disease that do not require a "gluten challenge" which is just out of the question for so many because it poses serious, even life-threatening, health risks. But we aren't there yet.

Keeping a simple food/symptom journal and introducing new foods one at a time can really help you spot patterns. You’re already doing the right things with cleaning and separating baking—also watch shared toasters, cutting boards, and labels like “may contain.”

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
