Here is the response I received from Unilever: Thank you for reaching out to Vaseline, and thank you for your interest in our product. Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Advanced Repair Unscented lotion does not contain gluten. We do not specifically test our products for the presence of gluten. Gluten may be present in products that contain derivatives of...

I have used Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented lotion for quite some time, and it has always worked just fine. I use it during the day because it is non-greasy. (At night I often use pure petroleum jelly.) Recently I purchased a new bottle and noticed that the formulation is slightly different. Among other things, it now includes: Helianthus...

Are there any studies or other information available re: white vinegar being effective at breaking down gluten proteins? I did a search and didn't find anything ... but if this is true (and I'm not saying it isn't...I just want to see some scientific info about it) that's really good to know. Appreciate the response!

I went to a concert last night in a venue with a bar. Inadvertently got some beer on my clothes from other patrons, as well as on my boots (the floor got sticky from a spilled drink or two). Not my usual scene, but it is what it is. Looking for advice on getting the gluten out of my clothes…I searched online but haven’t found answers to this particular que...

Was gifted a Costco membership and am interested in trying the Kirkland Signature Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. It says that this is a product of Vietnam, and the only ingredient listed is "organic virgin coconut oil". Is this safe? I have no experience with Kirkland Signature (or Costco) so I don't know about their reputation. Didn't find much of...

I'm recovering from a recent flare-up of DH. Yesterday I had some coconut beverage and immediately felt my face tingling, which makes me wonder if there's anything in the ingredients that has been linked to DH. Coconut base (filtered water, coconut cream), Cane sugar, Vitamin and mineral blend (calcium carbonate, zinc gluconate, riboflavin [B2], vitamin...

Is there any research that indicates how long IgA remains in the skin? And can it be prolonged due to circumstances, such as late diagnosis of celiac and prolonged usage of antibiotics during this period?

Trusted Gluten Free Certification?
NoGlutensToday replied to LauraBee's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
A follow-up question to all of this. I see that the Canadian Celiac Association has their own certification, but I can't find any information about the specifics of it. For example, on their website they say that they focus on preventing cross-contamination but don't say how. They also don't say if they test products for gluten. I've messaged the CCA asking... -
My doctor suggested trying soy in its various forms as a way to increase my protein intake. I've found certified gluten free tofu and some other products that I will try beginning this week. I'm hoping it goes well, but I have noticed that the processed soy products (tofu, beverages, tempeh, etc) tend to be quite pricey. I would like to try buying my...

Hi trents, thanks for the reply. I do realize that sauerkraut and kombucha are fermented foods. That's what I was trying to say...it is recommended that people take probiotics and eat fermented foods to help leaky gut, but this in turn causes problems for those with histamine intolerance. I had been supplementing with a probiotic and eating lots of fermented...

I've been gluten free for a couple years. I was frustrated by my recovery because I kept experiencing symptoms. Eventually I discovered, through trial and error as well as consultation with my doctor, that I also have leaky gut and histamine intolerance. This was both a relief and highly frustrating ... it meant that the symptoms I was experiencing weren...

I've emailed Thinksport/Thinkbaby to ask about the source of the tocopherols (vitamin E). I used the contact form on the website and have not heard back. I phoned and their message said to email them at an address that bounces back. I left a voice message today, asking if somebody could answer this question. The only social media they have is Facebook...

The sun is starting to come out where I live, and I need to get some more spf. Thinksport looks like a decent option - the Environmental Working Group lists them among their healthier options - but I can't find any info on their website declaring it "gluten free". I've posted the ingredients below ... does this look safe for a celiac? And does anyone on this...

I had a similar problem ... I went gluten free but continued to have DH rash for years! I only found relief when I started following the Fasano Diet, which was created by Dr. Allesio Fasano. He's the top guy when it comes to studying celiac, so if you haven't already read up on him and his dietary recommendation, do so. He wrote an excellent book called...

I have my DH under control, and am thrilled about that. But now I'd like to widen my diet up. I'm looking for recommendations on things that *should* be safe to drink. Currently, I drink water, with a little bit of herbal tea and the occasional kombucha. Dairy is off limits. (I break out/get digestive issues.) I also seem to react to almond milk...

Hi, I received a gift of some facial serum. I like the company, and most of their products are advertised as gluten free. This particular one doesn't include any info about the gluten status (sometimes this happens with this company, and more often then not when I check with them the product is gluten-free). I would like to use it, but want to be sure...

I have DH and have it under control. I am trying to expand my diet after limiting it as I got in control of my celiac/DH. Whenever I have tried re-introducing dairy I seem to have had an outbreak of DH. (If it wasn't DH it was something similar ... but I do admit there's a possibility it was some different reaction.) I've been wondering whether...

I have a red bump that I assumed was DH on my left temple. I have no idea how I got glutened -- I am extremely careful about what I eat, and when I'm not eating unprocessed meat/veggies/fruit that I prepare myself I am careful to pick items that are certified gluten free. (These latter items are quite limited. Basically some Bob's Red Mill millett, Only Oats...

I've been learning about how phytic acid reduces the absorption of certain minerals. I already have difficulty absorbing minerals due to my condition and have a limited diet, so I'm somewhat reliant on supplements to cover all my bases. (I say this because if it weren't for these issues I probably wouldn't be as concerned about phytic acid.) My understanding...

Looking for some info on the safest brands and varieties of rice. Obviously flavored rice is out, but I'm also worried about cross-contamination in production facilities.
-
Yeah, I'm like you in that I'm a worrier. I'm leaning towards not eating this. At the same time, I'm trying to learn more because this raises questions I hadn't considered before. This particular warning ("MAY CONTAIN") falls under Health Canada's Food Allergen Precautionary Statements. I did some reading on Health Canada's website and it said: "Precautionary...

Hi folks, I ordered some ground beef from a delivery service that offers free range meat, raised without antibiotics. When I received my delivery I saw the box had a warning that says MAY CONTAIN: WHEAT, SOY, MUSTARD, MILK. I contacted the company that processed this and they said the meat doesn't contain wheat, but due to labelling laws (Ontario...

IBS and Celiac (skin breakout?)
NoGlutensToday replied to NoGlutensToday's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thank you. Your insight on this board has helped me in my recovery over the past couple years, and I appreciate it. I'm going to read this document over carefully. Something I noticed in the past year was that I would occasionally get some red bumps on my face. Not sure exactly how to classify them, but they weren't DH. Didn't ever know why they'd show... -
IBS and Celiac (skin breakout?)
NoGlutensToday replied to NoGlutensToday's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hmm. Your first line sounds like what I experience. I've never been diagnosed with (or shown the standard signs of) rosacea, but my father began to display this in his 60s and ultimately had some other autoimmune issue that became evident in his late 70s that we only learned about shortly before he passed away. Getting my DH/celiac and IBS under control... -
IBS and Celiac (skin breakout?)
NoGlutensToday replied to NoGlutensToday's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I do have DH, but in this case I don't think it was DH. When I break out with DH it tends to be around my temples, and the bumps are larger and more painful. These bumps were unpleasant, but smaller and mostly around my forehead. They also didn't leave that telltale purple mark after they went away. I do have allergies and am due for an updated test...
