So I have this small book of temporary fairy tattoos. It lists ingredients in the back of the book:

PVA (polyvinyl acetate) CoPlymer, POlyester resin, modified varnish, deoderized petroleum, silicon dioxide, aluminum silicate, iron oxide, FD&C yellow #5 & 6 Aluminum Lake, D&C Red #7 Lake, FD&C Blue #1 Aluminum Lake. ALL COLORS FOLLOW FDA COSMETIC REGULATIONS.

Additional ingredients: Gllutter tattoos may contain cosmetic polyester glutter, glow in the dark tattoos have luminescent zinc sulfide.

Are any of these ingredients a worry?

Sounds delicious! :blink: We're you going to eat them? Or put them on your lips or fingertips? I wouldn't worry about them.

One of my banjo students gave me some frogs last night. I'm going to wait until Saturday and make the first eight people who show up for the jam session wear them. And if I'm in a particularly "evil" mood, I'm going to tell them that they have to play every song this day in the key of F.

I always joke with my regulars that it is my shop, so they have to "obey" me. :lol: Life is fun when you're feeling good!

That's a terribly annoying response as skin is a large and porous organ which means a product with fake dyes and gluten can absorb directly into the blood stream. I wouldn't make a sarcastic judgement call on something you don't seem to know much about and I wouldn't use anything processed on your body if you have a serious gluten allergy.

Wow!  I was a smart ass 7 years ago!  And look how young I looked!  ?

 

skin is porous to a point- obviously not everything can pass thru all the layers of the skin.  And gluten proteins are too large for that.  People with Celiac are not a “ gluten allergy”.  I know many people use that term, but it’s not exactly true.

What Karen said is true!  

Here are the facts based on medical research and not FAKE news:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/celiac-disease/expert-answers/celiac-disease/faq-20057879

By the way, the Mayo clinic is one of the leading celiac research centers.

If you are reacting to wheat on skin, you may have a wheat allergy (IgE response) instead of celiac disease where gluten (wheat, rye or barley proteins) must be swallowed in order to get an autoimmune reaction (body attacks small intestine).

I was basing my comments on that section on skin in A&P class and that biology class- I can’t remember the exact name of -on body systems & the one about body chemistry.  Just some random college classes.   And some stuff some Celiac researchers told me.  ?

but Mayo is good too!  ?

      Test Results

      By breadbreadbaby · Posted

      Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback on my post. Here’s the updated information: IgA 0.98 (Range 0.80 - 4.90) Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4 (<=14.99 U/mL, Positive >=15.0 U/mL)

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!

      Reaction to gluten or gastro bug?

      By Beck1430 · Posted

      Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply.    Cristiana - yes the rashes seemed to resolve when he came off gluten too. I haven’t seen those pictures before, thanks for pointing me to them. I’d say his rash isn’t like the more severe photos which are scabbed and very bumpy. His rash is more like lots and lots of patches of eczema than spots. No we have no celiac in the family to my knowledge, though my mum and sister both have autoimmune diseases and wheat sensitivity. I think you’re right and I’ll have to do another trial to confirm if it was the wheat. I’ve been hoping all day that I come down with the bug to rule out the wheat reaction! But the rest of the family are absolutely fine.    Trents - thank you for the info regarding the genes. That’s very interesting and I’d definitely consider doing that as a way to rule it out without putting him back on wheat. I also didn’t know celiacs were commonly intolerant to dairy and soy. I think you’re right and there is definitely enough factors to show something is going on. I think I’ll do a repeat trial of the wheat challenge and if he reacts again I shall look into the genetic testing.    Thank you both so much for your time. Becky
