Anti-aging Cream.

Dear Everyone,

I am wanting to use something around my eyes and mouth to prevent wrinkles. Is there anything out there that is affordable and gluten-free? Olay Regenerist seems good, but I do not know if it is safe to use. I have some wrinkles starting because of squinting. I am near-sighted.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I use philosphy 'Hope in a Jar' and 'When Hope is Not Enough' I also use one of Burt's Bees facial cremes. I have called and checked both for gluten and for soy. You mention squinting because you are nearsighted, have you gotten your eyes checked to see if you need a new prescription? That would be the best preventative. :)

Dear ravenwoodglass,

Thank you for your help! I need something affordable. Actually, I got new glasses in late October.

Before that, I squinted a lot more. Due to my headaches, I cannot always where them. Migraines from these wisdom teeth have really been difficult to deal with. Hopefully, I will get some contacts later this year.

Also, they said to prevent aging to begin using such products in your 20s. ;)

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. Do you know if Clearasil products are safe for oily, acne prone skin?

Be careful with Philosophy. The When Hope is Not Enough contains soy protein and possibly gluten.

I went over the ingredients lists myself, ordered several of their products--spending a lot of money in the process. After using them for a while, I wasn't feeling well, and since the only new thing I was using were the Philosophy products I emailed them and they sent me a list of their products that contained gluten.

This was last spring, and we've moved and switched internet providers since then, so I no longer have the list or I'd copy and paste it here. Turns out, I was using a couple products that contained gluten--and had no idea from reading the labels! Of course, when I discontinued them, I began to feel better. I was literally slathering the Pigment of Your Imagination all over my face daily--nothing on the label would indicate gluten and yet it was on the gluten containing list. I was not happy.

Jin--I'm currently using moisturizing facial cream from Andrea Rose--her products are gluten and salicylate free.

For drugstore brands, I like Dove--they have a facial lotion that I have not tried yet but plan to, but I do like their Energy Glo Face Wash--it exfoliates gently and leaves my face very soft.

I use Peptides and More by Reviva. I buy it online.

I don't see any gluten or soy ingredients (Patty, it does have coconut though). It's all natural stuff, nothing bad.

Patti, Thanks for the heads up. Sometimes I wish I was a chemist.

Dear Patti,

Thank you so much for your help! :) That list will make it much easier to find the right one. Sometimes these beauty products are confusing. Labeling is not always clear. I have heard conflicting things about Neutragena, so I am not sure if I can use their products or not.

I remember when you got so ill last year. Cosmetics are easy to forget about, or to overlook. Ingredient lists are incredibly complicated at times. Take Vitamin E, which can be listed as tocopherols. When I first saw that, I had no idea what that meant!

Dear Ravenwoodglass,

It does seem you need a degree in chemistry to understand these labels. You can run across the same ingredient that has fifty different names! No one is going to know for sure what all of those things are.

Hair products can be frustrating, too. I have a Paul Mitchell safe list, but am concerned about tea tree oil. I do not know if it strips color or not.

Sincerely,

Jin

Peptides would be something You would want to look into. Excel Skin Care has great products in Pure B-5 and Renewal Complex.

For the lower buy go through their Amazon store with free shipping included.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Known1, What reaction were you expecting? Pipingrock.com High Potency Vitamin D3, 2000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels $6.89 I've have been taking the 10,000 IU for close to 10 years. When I started with vitamin D I worked my way up to 10000 over several weeks.  Even at 8000 I felt no noticeable difference.  Then after a few days at 10000 it hit Whoa, sunshine in a bottle.  celiac disease causes malabsorption of dietary D and you've poor UV access.  It took me from 2015 to 2019 to get my 25(OH)D just to 47 ng/ml.  Another two years to get to 80.  70 to 100 ng/ml seems to be the body's natural upper homeostasis  based on lifeguard studies.  Dr. Holick has observed the average lifeguard population usually has a vitamin D 3 level of around 100 ng/ml. Could it be that our normal range is too low given the fact that ¾ or more of the American population is vitamin D deficient? Your Calcium will increase with the vitamin D so don't supplement calcium unless you really need it.  Monitor with PTH  and 25(OH)D tests. Because of your Marsh 3 damage you need to ingest way more than the RDA of any supplement to undo your specific deficiencies. I believe you are in the goiter belt.  Unless you have reason not to, I recommend pipingrock's Liquid Iodine for price and quality.  The RDA is 150 to 1100 mcg.  In Japan the safe upper level is set at 3000 mcg.  Start with one drop 50 mcg to test for adverse response and build up.  I found 600 mcg (12 drops) a day is helping repair my body.  Iodine is necessary to healing.  90% of daily iodine intake is excreted in urine.  A Urine Iodine Concentration (UIC) can tell how much Iodine you got that day.  The thyroid TSH test will not show iodine deficiency unless it is really bad.

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/
