I have a boat load od Bath and Body works lotion that has oat in it. Is this still okay to use? I would hate to give it away. Some I have had for a while so I don't think I could try to exchange it. Any info would be great. Thanks.

The body cream I use every night is bath and body works, though it does not have oats..unless you plan on licking your skin or eating it lol

A word of caution based on experience. After applying the lotion wash your hands. I glutened myself by licking my fingers! This prompted me to just get rid of everything. I was angry at myself for being so stupid.

Hi Nicki--I wouldn't use it, and here's why. When I was first on the gluten-free diet, I had no idea I had to check my products for gluten. I was using a hair gel at the time that contained wheat starch. About 2 months into it, I was feeling better, but not completely--every afternoon, I would get D. When I found this board and learned I should check my hair and body products, I put 2 and 2 together--I am a nail biter :ph34r: , and was getting the gluten in my mouth off of my fingers! It would be the same thing if a person were to lick their finger, or some similar thing. I saw a difference after I got rid of all gluten containing products. Oats are questionable, at best, and I wouldn't take the chance. Of course, it's up to you :)

I definitely would not recommend using it. This most definitely would have gluten in it and can easily get into your mouth in some way.

Thanks for the information. Most of the ones I have are the repair hand creme/lotion and I don't think I better use them. I am going to call and talk to the manager and see if I can exchange some of it for just the body creme. That one(the body creme), I was looking at and it doesn't have oats in it. thanks again.

One of the products I used to make was a wonderful oat soap. It made the skin so lovely but after my dx, I made sure I got rid of the ones I had kept for myself. When I first got dx'd I was glutening myslef with everything. It isn't worth it to me to use it and accidently gluten myself. The other thing is when anything with gluten in it touches my scalp I get lesions.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Do you eat processed gluten free foods?

      Coping with celiac

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
