Which lotions are gluten free?

I have heard Burt's Bees are gluten free but, which ones from them are gluten-free? They didn't write me back when I emailed them so does anyone have a list?

No cetaphil lotions are gluten-free, only their gentle face cleanser.

All Vaseline products are gluten-free except for those in the yellow containers (they contain oat protein).

Most neutrogena lotions are gluten-free. Take your cell phone to the store and call them, they will confirm that the product you're looking at is gluten-free or not.

All above verified by email.

Dove and Suave brand will clearly label if any of their lotions contain gluten ingredients. Hope this helps!

Do we have to avoid gluten on the skin too? I thought it was about food only :o:(

Well, of you put lotion on your hands, then eat something, you are 'eating' some of the lotion. Those people with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH, the 'skin celiac') are usually a little more cautious about topical gluten, but most celiacs are just fine. For me, if I use makeup with gluten and I exercise, if I accidentally get sweat in my mouth I'm glutening myself!! Lipstick is also a hidden source of gluten, lots of 'em contain wheat germ oil. There is a lot of discussion on these boards as to whether or not gluten can be absorbed through the skin. For me, it's just one more thing that may gluten me, so why risk it?

I recently bought Desert Essence Organics Coconut Hand and Body Lotion at a local grocery store. It seems to work well and I love the smell. There are a lot of interesting products on their web site.

From their web site:

GLUTEN/WHEAT ALLERGIES:

All of the Desert Essence Organics products are Wheat and Gluten Free. The products are made on a line that is kept Gluten Free.

:D

      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! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
