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

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link... Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6476019/

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
