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.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
