This weekend I decided that after months of being gluten free I could treat myself to a gluteny feast. Why? Because i'm an absoulte IDIOT! I am soooo sick, My face is a broken out mess, and i just want to cry! Ugh, I hate having to check the ingridents in EVERYTHING! Why don't they make a gluten free face lotion for 15 dollars? I am really not happy right now!!!!

The good news is- you can go gluten free again and you never need to test yourself again!

I have seen several posts here about face lotion. I believe many people like Neutrogena, Dove, and Garnier products. Do a search and you will see others have posted the same query. Email the companies if the thread is old. Products sometimes change their formulas. All of those companies offer coupons and you can find them with an easy internet search.

Feel better.

Well now you know you don't want to do that again. There are reasonable priced skin care products that are gluten free. I use the Garneir line. Do read the labels but if gluten is in there they will list it. If you ask in the products section about cosmetics and toiletries you will get responses from others as to what they use.

Don't beat yourself up about the gluten binge. You learned something from it. It may take some time for the reaction to go away but go away it will.

I use Avon. It does remind me of my grandmother but their products are great, inexpensive and many, if not most, are gluten free. I use their lotions, body wash, and glazewear lip gloss.

You're not the first person to have made that mistake. I hope you feel better soon. Tylenol and benadryl help me get through the worst of the pain for the first few days. (I don't really have GI issues). Stay hydrated and when you are feeling better, find the gluten-free cinnamon sugar donuts in the freezer section. I can't remember the brand, but the box is white with maybe blue lettering.

Adjusting to the diet is hard emotionally. Occassional breakdowns are part of the process.

Yes to what everyone said. The only thing I have to disagree with is what SGWhiskers said about the cinnamon sugar donuts. Go for the chocolate ones. B)

(just call me Ms. Chocoholic)... ;)

The donuts are Kinnikinnick. Yum!

Hope you feel better soon. Kind of the gluten equivalent of a weekend of binge drinking, eh? :lol:

They make gluten free donuts? Where have I been. The only gluten free sweets i've found are ginger snaps, which i'm not crazy about. Where can i find them? :) I just went to an Avon store this past Saturday and was told everything was made with gluten to get it consistency. What products do you use? I love Avon's makeup!

With Avon, I find that the people who sell it don't know the gluten status. I emailed Avon about the specific items I was looking at and they answered.

You need to get to a Sprouts or Whole Foods. You could gain 200 pounds on all the gluten free sweets and junk food out there. Glutino has some great ones. There are a version of Oreos even. And Betty Crocker has great gluten free mixes for chocolate chip cookies, brownies, chocolate cake and yellow cake. Glutino wafer cookies are SOOOO yummy!

If you go to AVON's website and choose the item you are interested in, they have 'larger image', 'ingredients list', 'wish list' under the item. Hope this helps.

Sorry to hear that you are suffering right now. I hate it when I decide (half heartedly) not to pay close attention to ingredients and end up suffering the consequences. Hang in there!

I didn't know there could be problems with lotions and makeup? I always had problems finding a cleanser that would not make me breakout with ezcema on my face until I tried Aloette Cosmetics. It's the only one (so far) that I like that doesn't cause that problem. I've never checked the ingredients, but would it actually say "gluten" or is it a "hidden gluten" word? I find that I will get these teeny-tiny pimple like bumps on me if I don't use the right body soap. Thanks & take care

Living in Canada, we don't get the same gluten-free foods (ie Betty Crocker gluten-free brownies)

I had a dream last night that I ate a do-nut and now I want one SO badly....I am < 2 weeks gluten-free and haven't had any cravings yet but that dream made me nuts!

Kinnikinnick (who makes the donuts) is a Canadian company!

I use the 'Skin So Soft' lotions and 'Naturals' body wash and lotion. I like the 'Glazewear' lip gloss. Just double check the ingredients as they can change. They're listed on the website. I haven't had any issues and I'm prone to eczema, psoriasis and KP.

Tell me about it! I get so tired of the sky high prices of all the products and having to explain my problems over and over to people who just "don't get it." On top of that, my doctors are treating me like I'm a hypochondriac now. I feel so frustrated.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
