I read some posts on here that people were having reactions to vitamin E?

Why? I did some googling but couldn't find anything.

I just purchased a vitamin E oil thats amazing.

It has safflower oil, grapeseed oil, and vitamin E.

I havent had any negative reactions to it, in fact its really been helping with the fine

lines under my eyes.

Should I not be using it?

A lot of vitamin E is derived from wheat germ oil. Many brands are derived from soy. You might want to find out where the vitamin E in your brand is coming from.

If it isn't wheat germ oil, then you are okay. If soy, it depends if you are intolerant to soy.

A few people here couldn't get really well, and eventually found out that their vitamins had vitamin E from wheat germ oil. When they switched brands, or stopped taking the vitamins, they got better.

But not everybody will react to it, only people who are the most sensitive to gluten.

Hmm. It doesn't say if its derived from soy or wheat. Its a product from the dollar store,

I don't even know if the company is in existence anymore as I googled the name and nothing came up but some other unrelated company. I guess I'll continue to use it and see what happens.

Thanks!

I just purchased vitamin e oil to rub on my hand (after carpal tunnel surgery) per my surgeon's instructions. The ingredients contain wheat germ. I have Celiac Disease. is this safe to use on my hand?

I would avoid it.  I am careful about anything that goes on my hands, lips and face that could be accidentally ingested.    Setting off a celiac flare up would probably impact healing from surgery.  Ask your doctor for a substitute.  From my quick research vitamin e does not prevent scarring.

I use Vintage Tradition Tallow Balm.  Tallow Balm does help heal scars.

It's even available on Amazon.com.

      Celiac And Eggs

      By MommaBear82 · Posted

      I just wanted to point out that the QUANTITY of exposure to eggs in baked goods would naturally be much less than if you were to eat a whole egg. I think that's why they appear to be tolerated in baked goods, but not as a stand-alone food.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      By Jack Common · Posted

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By trents · Posted

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.
