Aveeno And Other Oat Cosmetics

Oh man, my skin is so angry. I got a free bottle of Aveeno eczema lotion awhile back and my skin got a little upset, so I've been slathering myself in it, without a thought. My partner with psoriasis swears by the brand, so I figured my sensitive skin was safe. At first it helped, but now it's much worse. Whoops. :/

Are ALL oats contaminated unless they say gluten-free? Where do cosmetic oats come from? I emailed Aveeno but am interested in your general experiences with this stuff.

My DH no longer uses any Aveeno products just to be safe. I had read that oats may become CC because they are grown near wheat and/or processed in the same place.

I steer clear of any body product that has oats in it because I react violently to even gluten free oats. I used to love Aveno for my dry hands, but I won't risk it at all.

Thanks so much! I've learned a valuable lesson in common sense and listening to my body :)

If you are looking for an alternative, I think Burt's Bees has gluten free lotion. I've never tried it though.

As far as I know, all oats hat are grown without special care have a pretty good chance of being CC. I avoid Aveeno products.

They very well could be contaiminated. We avoid them. I used an oat product in the bath and then my daughter took a bath in the same tub. Just the residue left in there gave her a rash.

Your replies make me feel so normal, after years of being ignored and dismissed. Thank you so much, everyone.

For what its worth, J&J never responded to my request about their oat sources, but they sent me a coupon for their products. I guess I can get benadryl while I'm getting pepto. Lol.

Wacky plot twist: I had a ton of fibro pain after this incident, so I use a topical NSAID, and then my skin flared worse!

I'm on the mend now, but omg what a vicious evil cycle I was in.

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
