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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
