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.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
