Oats In Lotion

[elocin71]

upon further inspection, i found that one of my lotions has oats in it. now i know oats are a concern when you eat them, does the same rule apply when in lotion? the lotion in question is Open Original Shared Link

anybody have any reactions to this lotion? a long shot, i know, but thought i'd ask anyway.

I don't know about that brand of lotion, but I use Aveeno lotion with oatmeal and I do not have a reaction. However I also do not react when I eat certified gluten free oats either. I have a very bad reaction to lotions with wheat germ oil, but no reaction to oats. Some people have a reaction to oatmeal even if it is certified gluten free. So I'm thinking that whether you react to the lotion is a personal thing.

If you are still having symptoms then stop using it, see if the problems resolve and, if you feel the need, give it another try and see if symptoms return.

One of the staff at my dd group home was showing me how itchy and red her (staff) hands were. I grabbed the lotion at their kitchen sink, read the oats on the label and handed it to her. Her sister has been diagnosed as celiac. Now this lotion has an ugly face on it so the gluten free ladies do not use it.

Both my dd and I get dermatitis from gluten or oats in products that we use on our skin. We are gluten free as a whole person.

i am a 'silent sufferer' or just not that sensitive (yet) so i really can't tell. i suppose i'll see how my #'s are looking and go from there. thank you all!
