People with celiac disease have to stay away from any toiletries that contain gluten, right? and not just those with dh but everyone?

I did a search here to find out if cetaphil is safe and there seems to be some differing answers to this. Some of the posts were older so I also may be reading outdated material. Is there any consensus as to if cetaphil is safe? I'm currently using the antibacterail soap and the cvs version of the lotion (as part of a prescription cream). And my rash isn't getting any better!

This is, unfortunately, is a hot topic around here. From my experience, it's best to use gluten-free skin care/beauty products. I do react to ones with gluten in them (it took a while, but it happened).

People with skin conditions related to gluten are generally more careful about gluten-free beauty products.

You'd need to ask CVS if their product is gluten-free. I believe some Cetaphil products are gluten-free, some aren't. Visit their website or call.

Personally, I use Vanicream. It is gluten-free. I use Vanicream soap bars, as well as Dove unscented bars.

Are you using the antibacterial soap because of an infection? If not, you may want to baby your skin and use something very mild. Personally, my DH needed tlc and I couldn't use anything harsh or it would burn like fire. I had to keep it moisturized - Vanicream and Vaseline (gross, I know) til it scabbed and flaked then just Vanicream.

I was reading your original post about this...I'm sorry, I've been there. I know this sucks.

Ice packs help. Keep it moisturized. Have you tried reducing iodine? Are you eating processed foods? Personally, gluten-free processed foods and sugar made my rash worse in the beginning. I have no idea why, but it did.

For me, low iodine was key. 2 weeks and I healed (after being gluten-free for 2 months).

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
