Can some one help an old lady out that needs a good gluten-free eye cream and face lotion? I've tried Burts Bees and we aren't getting along. Tried oil of olay..no good. As soon as I put theses creams on my face it turns it red. Any help or ideas?! I called Bare Escentails and they said that thier creams had wheat and oat in them. I couldn't get a clear answer from a few others. I emailed NARS. but haven't heard back on them.

I absolutely love Garneir Nutritioneste Wrinkle Defense Night Cream, I use it both day and night. It says you will see a difference in the first use, thought that was hype but in my case I really did.

We use California Baby's Calendula Cream as a face lotion. I've found it at both Whole Foods and Target. It's very gentle, smells great, is gluten-free (and free of many other allergenic substances), and is the only thing that helps our winter eczema. I don't use a separate eye cream (they always irritate my eyes) but maybe I'll have to check out that Garnier one that ravenwoodglass mentioned.

I have used their lavender facial cleansing milk and their moisturizer in the jar was what I used before I switched to the Garneir. Their lavender eye serum was also nice and I still use that.

I thought I was the only person who used straight oil when my skin was dry. I use rose hip seed oil with a drop of lavender.

I was over the moon when I found California Baby. However, I used the sensitive baby head to toe and developed sores on my scalp. Since I have stopped using it, they are better. The only thing I can figure out is the Vitamin E??? Anyone have trouble with this? I'm finding that I am sensitive to alot! That or finally going crazy!

It's gluten free alright, that's for sure but I can't use it myself because it contains coconut. I'm extremely sensitive to coconut, and for a long time I was ok to just not consume it. Now, I react to it in topical products with eczema, migraines, and nausea.

Hi. Thanks for all those great tips- I think I will try one or two.

I'm one of those ridiculously sensitive ones and, although it's terribly pricey, I've NEVER reacted to Lancome's Bienfait Multi-Vital creme with sunscreen. It probably has way too many chemicals but there's no gluten.

I, too, have simply used olive oil to hydrate my skin. In fact I use olive oil for everything; I may bathe in it soon...

!

Take care!

I use few at the moment while I get this coconut issue worked out.

I found a soap that I like--it is coconut free and of course gluten-free.

If you're having trouble and can't pin point why you may have additional intolerances. This company has a lot of nice products that are free of the common triggers.

For shampoo, I can't believe I'm saying this but in checking labels I found that Pantene Classic has the least coconut derived ingredients I could find. (the more natural organic types are full of coconut, which may not be a problem for you) I use the shampoo only a couple times a week, and the conditioner (which has none) every day. It helps that my hair is on the dry side.

That company used to be rather uncoperative when asked about gluten, but when I called recently they told me they would clearly list any gluten in the ingredient list.

I use Thai Crystal Deodorant--the only ingredient is mineral salts.

For makeup, I love the Everyday Mineral foundation--you can even get samples there. Their minerals do not contain bismuth, which can cause itching.

The nicest gluten-free lipstick I have found is Afterglow, which I found here on this site

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves...

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
