Which lotions are gluten free?

I have heard Burt's Bees are gluten free but, which ones from them are gluten-free? They didn't write me back when I emailed them so does anyone have a list?

No cetaphil lotions are gluten-free, only their gentle face cleanser.

All Vaseline products are gluten-free except for those in the yellow containers (they contain oat protein).

Most neutrogena lotions are gluten-free. Take your cell phone to the store and call them, they will confirm that the product you're looking at is gluten-free or not.

All above verified by email.

Dove and Suave brand will clearly label if any of their lotions contain gluten ingredients. Hope this helps!

Do we have to avoid gluten on the skin too? I thought it was about food only :o:(

Well, of you put lotion on your hands, then eat something, you are 'eating' some of the lotion. Those people with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH, the 'skin celiac') are usually a little more cautious about topical gluten, but most celiacs are just fine. For me, if I use makeup with gluten and I exercise, if I accidentally get sweat in my mouth I'm glutening myself!! Lipstick is also a hidden source of gluten, lots of 'em contain wheat germ oil. There is a lot of discussion on these boards as to whether or not gluten can be absorbed through the skin. For me, it's just one more thing that may gluten me, so why risk it?

I recently bought Desert Essence Organics Coconut Hand and Body Lotion at a local grocery store. It seems to work well and I love the smell. There are a lot of interesting products on their web site.

From their web site:

GLUTEN/WHEAT ALLERGIES:

All of the Desert Essence Organics products are Wheat and Gluten Free. The products are made on a line that is kept Gluten Free.

:D

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
