Hi,good morning!

I'm looking for a concealer that will not make the problem worse. (Fair skin tone). Better with some healing essential oils and without spirits.

I've been dealing with DH for the past seven months--it won't go away because there's iodine in my thyroid medication (ugh!). So, in order to hide the very prominent purple and red sores/scars, I've used Dior's Air Flash. Although it was developed to actually spray directly on a person's face, I spray a little into the palm of my hand and then use a small cosmetic brush to apply it only where I need coverage. My friends swear they can't see that my skin is at all damaged. This stuff is the best I've ever found. You can find it at Macy's, and they'll let you sample it right there. I also use the fairest shade. I have to admit, though, that it's a bit pricey; however, I've used the same can for over two years on nearly a daily basis.

I also use this product on scars on my lower leg--I'm finally able to wear shorts again. You really can't distinguish it from real skin--it doesn't look cakey or fake at all.

Thank You very much for the advice! We are in shortage of cosmetic brands. I was absolutely pleased with Shiseido Concealer Stick Nr.1 but now they discontinued. It's allright with the price,I need it not in so much amounts (but every day). Especially I liked it for staying on face while swimming. So I'm looking for smth similar,in a form of stick and with beeswack. Just to put it on the object and forget. I have tried Body Shop concealer but it's visible as a patch and not the right tone. Some other brands made the dermatitis worse (the creamy consistence and with brush).

FernW,have You tried essentional oils on the skin (Chamomelis,Tea Tee,Cinnamon etc)? Take a good base oil and mix in small amount of ess.oils,very calming :) . From the ready made I like Darphin,it's a wonder. My legs itch like hell,I have psoriase type patches and often wake up in the mornings scratching my legs. So the elbows,I had to buy some extra cashmere jumpers because I could't wear lambs wool (I'm from North,our winters are terribly cold). I got rid of my elbow patches just by putting there Darphin oil mix and vaselin containing cream. Where have I been earlier??

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
