Is There Absolutely Any Kind Of Gluten Free Hand Wipes?

I know many people have asked and been met with hand sanitizer instead but here's the thing...

Sometimes I LARP. Live Action Roleplay. At least once during the weekend you have to NPC...which means play a non player character. Canon fodder. You are there to fight against the characters. It's something everyone has to do at least a couple hours every LARP weekend even if they play their main character. Here's the thing..I MAY have found gluten free character make up (i play a humanoid cat race)..but...during NPC shifts...they use face wipes to wipe make up off.

You may go out for 60 minutes as one kind of monster..come back wipe off your face with wipes and use the makeup to create another monster...different colors etc represent different beings.

What would I do for this?

Also...would I have to worry about sharing masks that other people have worn? full face latex masks that are pretty tight to the face sometimes? should i be worried? i'm sure there is someone gluten sensitive who MUST be there...

But the hand wipes stuff has been bothering me anyhow...is there absolutely anything??? The building we paint our faces in during those shifts doesn't have a sink or running water.

I would take 3 small handtowels or washcloths, wet them and put soap on one then seal them in seperate plastic baggies. One to soap, two to wipe soap off. You know they will be safe and freindly to the enviroment.

I guess I would have to ask one of the leaders who stay there to make sure no one uses them...it's just sometimes there is a hell of a lot of paint to wipe off...sometimes 3 or 4 times...full face make up..oh what a mess it will be =\ Any suggestions on the masks? I just realized even the face pain is prably contaminated somehow..i'd have to ask *sighs*

So there really is no safe wipes out there? Why is that anyhow?

I'm not too familiar with your experiences. But, when exchanging masks, clean wipe might eliminated some shared lipstick of lip balm, near your mouth.

Maybe others can recommend a brand that is suitable.

I would be surprised to know of any antibacterial-wipe would contain any gluten. Think of gluten as a "crumb" not as a "bacteria or virus", although it might affect us as if it were. B)

wet some paper towels with alcohol & put in a baggie or just bring a bottle with you & paper towels.

I'm curious... Which make- up wipes or diaper wipes that you have found with gluten?

I have been using cottonelle wipes for years, did not even dawn on me to check the label, I am very sensitive and they work fine, I also use by friends baby wipes, they smell good, with out any problems, it even takes off makeup.

On May 8, 2012, I got the following info from the manufacturer: "Our Pampers Sensitive Wipes are gluten free. Our manufacturing facilities are gluten free as well." I did not ask them about any of their other wipes because they all have fragrance.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
