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

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?
