Ladies-what's Your Face Lotion?

Okay, so I had some wheat action going on in my Estee facial lotions... Arg. What facial moisturizers do you use? I typically like a light one with spf in day, and a heavier one at night. Ideas?

I'm not a big fan of facial lotions (I'm 26 with the propensity for the acne of a 16 year old), but I do like Alba's Aloe and Green Tea moisturizer. (It's really just about the only one I like.) It's very lightweight, and doesn't have any sunblock (I have an "indoors and no windows" job), so it might not be up your alley, but it's the only one I've tried so far that I really like. (The smell is fab too!)

I, too, used to use Estee Lauder products before going gluten-free--I love her stuff, but most of it is not gluten-free, unfortunately. I have very dry skin that is acne prone (a very odd combination), and I now use Neutrogena products. I use the oil-free moisturizer in the a.m. (it has SPF 15) and the Visibly Even moisturizer in the p.m. There is a list on the board of gluten-free Neutrogena products (I think it was from March sometime, so you may have to search back a ways), and you can also email them, and they will send you a file of all of their gluten-free products--most of their stuff is gluten-free, which I greatly appreciate!

I use Suave lotions. They are gluten-free and not "heavy" on my face. I have never had problem skin ~ yes, sickening to my sister with horrible acne, etc. ~ so I may not be the best judge of a good lotion. My rountine is dove soap and suave lotion. Plain, simple, cheap!! I am 42 and have great skin, so I must be doing something right!! ;)

Marcelle has some great face moisturizers. And I now use Eucerin SPF 30 in the day (gluten-free and lightweight) because I found that the Neutragena one was too thick for my sensitive skin... But I've even gotten my boyfriend onto Marcelle products they are so good (but they might only be available in Canada and Europe)

Burt's Bees makes a good one called Beeswax Moisturizing Creme. It's not too heavy, not too light. Just right. Nice, subtle fragrance, also. I don't think it offers sun protection, though.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      You’re raising a very real and very well-documented problem, and you’re absolutely right to be frustrated. Medication labeling is a major blind spot for people with celiac disease, because unlike food, drug manufacturers are not required to clearly disclose the source of binders, fillers, or excipients—even when they may be derived from wheat. That puts ...

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
