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

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
