Burts Bees Foot Creme Has Oat Flour

I'm 1 month new to gluten-free and I have not yet gone into my cosmetics and personal grooming products. I used Burts Bees Coconut Foot creme tonight and saw it has oat protein. When it checked the Burts Bees sight it said in the ingredients Oat flour. I hear some can tolerate and some can't but you must use a certain kind of oat. I am feeling so good I don't want to feel bad again! I guess I have no choice.

Can anyone save me hours of reading the forum by helping me with how to shop for cosmetics. I buy most of my personal hygiene at whole foods but my cosmetics at walgreens. Is there a list somewhere?

Also my nail polish remover has wheat germ oil.. is that ok?

Thanks for your help

Delilah.

HI - welcome to the gluten-free world! The world of cosmetics and body products is a challenging one! I personally would not use the polish remover if it has wheat in it. I have been gluten free for almost 6 years and as of last year gave up EVERYTHING that has gluten in it. I even feed my pets' gluten-free food (I was getting migraines everyday-they went away after I switched my pets' food).

I figure that in life we are going to get glutened accidentally anyway at times - why increase the risk factor by using something that has gluten in it on my body? There will always be times that you forget to wash your hands and then bite your nails, fix something to eat or get your hair in your mouth...

There are a lot of helpful lists on this forum about cosmetics. Offhand, I know NARS and Bare Minerals are gluten-free makeups (although both are quite pricey). Neutrogena has a great gluten-free list and many people have posted it recently (you can do a search on neutrogena). Dove (and all uniliver brands) will not hide anything and you can rest assured that they will list allergens on their labels.

Hope that helped a little. ;)

Burts bee has oat flour in its BABY soaps..... I think that the only way your going to be safe is the same way we all our ,.. and this is the safest way ... CHeck the ingrdients on a regular basis... this way it helps to train you to keep your self ( from not being glutened. ) But yeah My baby had a rash and I wondered why .. this was the same time we discovered the wheat intolerance. so yeah many products dont have wheat in them.. But its a good practice to DOUBLE CHECK... thanks chris

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
