Hello~ I have been gluten-free for 2 mos. I have seen INCREDIBLE results and can't imagine eating a diet with gluten in it again. One thing I have noticed the past few weeks is my skin is extremely dry, flaky, and breaking out on my forehead and sides (close to my ears). I was chatting with my skin care consultant and she asked if I had made any changes in my diet and it dawned on me that my skin could be (temporary) reacting to the gluten-free diet. Is this possible you think?! I normally have dry skin in the winter but it's not as dry as it has been this summer. THANKS!

You could have other food intolerances since with celiac comes leaky gut, especially at first. You may also need to take B vitamins (co-enzyme ones are the most absorpable) and fat soluble vitamins like Vit. A. Fish oil is a good source since it also gives you vitamin D and Omega 3. Primrose oil might also help quite a lot. Further, pro-biotics might be in order. I am finding making 24 hour home-made yogurt is helping with a variety of conditions, including a flaky skin condition that has been hard to heal. Plus this yogurt is a great source of cheap pro-biotics as well as being good to eat. To find out on how to make it etc. check out the specific carbohydrate diet (scd). There is a thread here on scd that may be useful to you. It also involves going off all grains---which may or may not be necessary for you for a while... Detox herbs like dandelion and yellow dock can also help the skin as well as the liver and intestines, as I just suggested some elsewhere on another thread today. I suggest you do the search function and you can find out more.

Good luck! Am so glad the gluten free diet is overall working for you!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      When using daily med to look up prescriptions, is there a way to filter ingredients such as gluten or wheat?  I usually take only a couple of drugs but since I’m having surgery, I have 5 new ones to take for a short time post-op. Thanks!   For non prescription drugs, Walgreens has a line called Free&Pure that has gluten free written on the packaging if anyone is interested.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dr. Jean Duane published a book on Celiac.com, and although all chapters are worth reading, there are some that cover this perfectly. Here is the link to the 1st chapter: This chapter and others cover this topic well:

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      By Jenny (AZ via TX) · Posted

      I called Colace to see what they would say. They cannot guarantee the products are gluten free.  No gluten ingredients but mentioned ingredients from pigs.  I did explain the pig part wasn’t the issue, just gluten.  I had asked about Colace clear as I had read that one was gluten free.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I recall Canada created some special rules just for gluten-free oats--not other gluten-free products--right around the time that General Mills launched their gluten-free Cheerios. The move seemed more politically motivated given that other products could be 20 ppm or below, but not oats. Here is an article we wrote at the time:

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      @Winnie-Ther-Pooh, we are talking about two different standards here. In the U.S, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the standard for using "Gluten-Free" in product advertising at less than 20 ppm of gluten. There is another standard, an internationally-recognized one, known as "Certified Gluten-Free" which is stricter, requiring less than 10 ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products will bear the GFCO logo. But in either case, it is important to understand that there still may be some gluten in the product which, for the super-sensitive subset of the celiac community, may still cause reactions.
