What lotions are safe.... I was using my favorite from Bed bath and realized it has oat extract. I was itching for like 2 months now that i have stopped it has chilled out a bit. I need a good lotion for dry skin.

I use all Dove lotions. They clearly label for wheat, oats, barley, and rye, and so far, I have not seen one of their body lotions with any of these ingredients. I use several of their different types and have been happy with them all.

I use St. Ives Extreme Relief Intensive Healing Lotion

Suave does not source their vit E from wheat and will label clearly for both wheat and oats according to the rep I spoke with a couple days ago. I started using their lotion and also bought some shampoo and conditioner that I haven't tried yet.

I'm using Jergens Soothing Aloe Relief.

I find coconut oil actually prevents dry skin from occurring in the first place! I mean eating it! The centrifuged coconut oil is the only one I'd use, but it's over my budget, so I just add shredded coconut to my food. Not only does it taste great (to me anyway) but it has numerous health benefits, including the health of the skin, hair, and nails.

Of course, you can apply the oil to the skin directly too. I found it's actually not greasy like I thought it might be. Smells wonderful too :)

I recently started using coconut oil in my diet, and on my skin as well. I love the way my skin looks and feels; it's not greasy at all and I actually smell quite delicious! :lol: In the past I've also used pure Shea butter, but the coconut oil absorbs into the skin a little faster.

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.

      Thank you so much! I will look for that.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
