Hi there. I use a moisturizer, lip plumper and enzyme peel serum from Isomers laboratories. Would anybody look at the ingredients and see if anything sends up a red flag. I started entering each ingredient in google and my eyes are starting to cross. So far all looks ok to me. It's those obscure ingredients that get me. If I put anything with wheat, rye, oat, barley derived ingredients on my face or scalp, I break out in horrible acne on my face and scalp. Ugh!

Thank you

Tracy

I would call the company again and tell them you are not a chemist and want a definate answer. The person you spoke with basically blew you off. If on the second call you can not get a firm answer return the products or try using a very small amount on the inside of your forearm or thigh, both senstive areas. Use the products there for at least three or four days and watch for a reaction. If you choose to do this make sure you test each product seperately.

I don't see gluten, but what I do see is propylene glycol and methyl and propo parabens. These are not only toxic to our bodies, but are common skin allergens. I am allergic to propylene glycol. I had huge rashy blisters under my arm for a year(and was using a so called natural product). One day while looking at the labels of the diff. natural deodorants at the local natural food store, I noticed they all shared that ingredient. I noticed one said no propylene glycol. I decided to try it. The rash started to clear in days!!

Thank you for your reply. I don't seem to have this reaction at all. I've used these products for years... but, I've apparently had gluten issues for years, too, so I'm checking all my regular products.

It's distressing to think about what is toxic for our bodies... when you are "new" to the concept. I will watch for reactions to those things and actually forwarded your reply to my Aunt who has reactions to deodorant and can't wear it. I HAVE limited the use of most "products" on my skin/face/hair. It feels so much better not to have an itchy scalp!

Thanks again.

if you have multiple sensitivities, also consider food and/or vitamin inter-actions.

I went about 2 yrs where anything but the salt deodorants gave me a rash

Then I stopped taking vitamin supplements (okay, not a step I'd recommend to everyone) and suddenly could tolerate 'regular' (eg chemical) deodorant - as long as it's fragrance free!

Sunblock I've given up - between fragrance, gluten, and breaking out from oiliness. I rely on sunblock clothing and broad hats.

Once you find products that you tolerate, it is worth the search...good luck :)

Of course read the label each time you purchase, the 'improvements' don't always meet with your needs.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Damage with silent celiac exists. I am a silent celiac.  I was tested because I have the gene predisposing to celiac disease and migraines.  All of my antibodies were high (TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IGG, EMA). I had a biopsy which showed damage. After going gluten free I felt better overall and have more energy. Unfortunately it didn’t help the migraines. Sorry to be blunt and write this, but it sounds like you’re really in denial about the possibility of having celiac disease. Understandable, and not uncommon on this forum.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Welcome to the forum, @terrymouse! Your GI doc is correct. Going gluten free now will allow healing to occur in the villous lining of the small bowel such that the endoscopy/biopsy may not show the damage to the villous architecture that is characteristic of celiac disease. Since your celiac blood antibody tests results are on the low side and don't "scream" of celiac disease I think it is important to go forward with the endoscopy/biopsy while still consuming gluten to ensure it will not be a wasted effort. The last thing you want is to have two different test modalities that unnecessarily contradict one another. So, unless the continued consumption of gluten poses an immediate and...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By RMJ · Posted

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I...

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.
