Oat In Undereye Cream

Hello. This message really applies to the women.......

Does anyone use undereye cream to get rid of puffy, dark circles? I usually do. The other day I bought a cream that I thought would work well. However, one of the ingredients is OAT. Is this safe to use, or should I avoid it? Are Celiacs really allergic to oat also? Im assuming yes, because I was told not to eat oat products. Then I heard it was okay. Does anyone know anything about this????? Id really appreciate feedback.

Thanks!

:D

I think it is more of a personal choice for you to use the eye cream. Gluten cannot enter your body through your skin. You just need to be sure that you wash your hands good after you apply the cream.

As far as oats in general.... I cannot really answer there. I have read that Quaker oats are bad because of cross contamination. I think it is just some Celiacs react and some don't. That may sound wishy washy... I am just not that clear on that part of this yet.

Oats are controversial either way. Personally, I stopped using my Aveeno with oatmeal just because since it is a cream that goes on my hands, the possibility of my hands going in my mouth (licking my fingers after something yummy, for example) was too high.

For cream for puffy eyes, can't see it doing any harm if you wash your hands thoroughly after applying it (make sure nothing is hiding under your nails...). By the way, for puffy eyes, believe it or not, I use Preparation H Cooling Gel. I kid you not! It is a well kept secret within the modelling industry, all the models do it. It works amazingly and feels wonderful!

Karen,

Does the Preparation H Cooling Gel help with dark circles. :D Also, I'm starting to get some fine lines under my eyes as well. :lol:

I know it helped mine......

The cooling effect (a nice, cool, tingling feeling) feels really refreshing (like a spa treatment!!)

Technically, I guess the way it works is that since Prep H is supposed to "reduce swelling" of hemorroids, it is also successful in reducing the "swelling (puffiness)" under your eyes......

i chose to get rid of anything i had--any product--that had wheat, barley, oats or rye. i figured why even take a chance when there are so many products out there w/o those ingredients? i did have to part with some products i loved, but i have found new ones that are great, and don't have all the chemicals etc in them either.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
