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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
