A Good Hand Lotion?

So, I'm back at school handling gluten snacks for my kindergartners and helping them with lunch. I carry soft soap with me to lunch to wash hands after helping them. I wash my hands so much throughout the day and they are now cracking open. Which makes me more paranoid about touching gluten! I did buy some food gloves and plan to use them since I have wheat and barely allergy as well. Do any of you know a good gluten-free hand lotion? I'm still a newbie at all this and just about everything scares me. I was using vasline unscented lotion, it looked safe, but thought I'd get this forums opinion. Thanks in advance!

I remember a post on someone commenting on how gluten eaters eat...I totally agree. My teacher has gluten in my classroom and it kills me. Crumbs all over! I have to be so careful. I keep my desk safe!

Cerave is a really thick hand cream. The dermatologist recommend it for Hub's cracked fingers. I wrote to them & it's gluten-free. They haven 't had it at Walmart, but Walgreens & CVS have had it. $12-15 for a big jar. Thick and stays on but not greasy.

I like booths apricot oil firming body lotion. I've gone through 3 bottles now, and while one was a bit greasy, it was only the top part! I just had to mix it up a bit to get past that. Best part is the smell, just a nice light citrus scent that is (so far) not offensive to those with sensitive smellers--like me! I got it at Ulta, you can order it online, and they usually have some sort of a coupon going on each week. 6.99 for 15 oz. (Don't know how that firming part works, or how effective it is. I just like the scent, the price, and the gluten-free-ness!) :P

I actually saw it at my local Wal-Mart but didn't buy it. Darn! I don't really have a problem right now but come winter, my hands are always a mess. Thanks for the suggestion!

My friend's mom used to make her own hand lotion - a calendula and olive oil combo - that was it. She swore by it to make sure her hands were nice and soft after digging in the garden.

I use Burt's Bees on a regular basis too - I *hope* it is gluten free :-)!

I was just getting ready to ask that question and need the same answer. I was taking care of my grandson and it seemed everything he ate had gluten so I washed my hands a lot. I have a good lotion that is Shea Butter but I don't know if it is gluten free. I had it before my diagnosis.

I was a frequent hand washer already and have worked in a pre-school prior to gluten-free so washed ALOT-I won't get into why. Now I wash lots due to diabetes and checks but can't use anything too emolient or it screws up the tests. Anyway, I use a plain unfragranced bar soap most of the time. It's much gentler on my skin than the pump style ones. For lotion, I use Neutrogena, in the cooler weather mostly. Do be sure to use latex-free gloves! Latex is irritating, esp. to those of us who are more sensitive in nature. My kiddo has a latex allergy now and it's been an eye-opening experience. Latex allergy is obtained though exposure so anyone who wears gloves containing latex on a regular basis is at risk for developing it and it can be a nasty one to be allergic to. I test neg. but used to wear latex containing gloves alot to do dishes and thought my hands were irritated by all the water, soap etc. but I do just as many now without gloves and have no problems so it makes me wonder. Latex-free gloves are clearly labeled and available at mainstream pharmacies.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
