I need a good lotion to use. I have been taking epson baths and my skin is so dry now and it is driving me nuts. I would like for it to be gluten and soy free lotion or even anything that will help the dry skin. i heard coconut oil was good to put on your skin, but im not sure if i want to put it all over my body lol

I like both Open Original Shared Link and Alba Botanica's Body Creams (my current favorite is the Open Original Shared Link one). Of course, you can just use pure oils (organic nut oils are good, I happen to like Open Original Shared Link), right after getting out of the shower (don't dry off harshly, just pat dry).

I keep a bottle of the dry skin therapy body lotion at home, a little tube of hand cream in my purse (I still use it on elbows and hands, it's just a smaller size so I can carry it around), I've tried the green tea facial moisturizer (it's fine), but I like the facial cream from the same line as above (I'd use the regular lotion, but my face is very prone to breakouts, and the facial moisturizer is lighter). A little goes a long way, and it's worked well for some people I know, but other people I know don't like it as much, so your mileage may vary. I find that I can put a little tiny bit on my hands, and continue using the computer all day without noticing my hands being more slippery. it is the sort of thing you want to use at least once or twice a day, though, for long term effects.

oh, that's true. The thing that helped my skin most - my chiro's recommendation to take fish oil. (He has me on 6gm a day, which is a very large dose, but even 2 or 3gm a day makes a pretty big difference. Body needs fat to keep from drying out. ;) )

I have another suggestion - Neutrogena Emulsion Lotion - which can be purchased at Wal-Mart. I have severely dry skin and it keeps me nice and soft. The trick is to apply it the minute you emerge from a shower/bath.

Hope it helps!

Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Lotion works pretty well.

Paula,

I also like the Alba Botanica lotion. I get in the great big bulk bottles that have a pump, they last a really long time and I really slather it on :lol:

I am not entirely sure they are soy free however, so just check the ingredients.

I'm not stretch mark expert (though I have them from going from 0 to puberty in a summer... :( ), but aren't they essentially a type of scar? The plastic surgeon who stitched up my face when I got smacked by a tree doing volunteer work recommended using Mederma to reduce scarring... You might ask your doc if that would help for stretch marks as well?

They are kinda a scar. Mine just look like huge tire marks in my stomach, some are deep some are just ugly. When i go in next week, I will ask her about it. I know at one time palmers was suppposed to help, but i think that has gluten in it. Maybe i will do some searching on the net, maybe i can find some kind of oil that would help.

That had to hurt getting smacked by a tree, how did that happen?

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
