Duh moment.

So as many of you know, I've been slowly replacing my personal products that are gluten containing products with gluten free.  I've been so frustrated with my hand lotion thinking it doesn't matter. I'm not ingesting this stuff why does it matter?  For the last 3 or 4 years my hands have been breaking out in blotches, then these blotches peel.  Well it turns out that the gluten in my hand lotions and other products have been bothering my system.  Well the last few nights I've been using a all natural hand lotion, couldn't figure out why the blotches were getting worse...you guessed it gluten.  So I looked at the ingredients and guess what: Wheat germ was listed on the product. Can we say "Duh!" lol.  Just goes to show that you have to read, read, read labels. Never take them for granted.

So far in regards to lotions and some other personal care products, the only brand that I've found that is entirely gluten free, after calling the company is Say Yes to Carrots product line. She said the entire line is gluten free. So the next time I'm at Target, I need to take that leap and purchase the lotion. It's just so expensive. 

A few other products that are gluten free so far that I have found is: Burt's Bees Acne Solutions(great for tween/teens ) and the Deep Cleansing cream. Almay intense i-color and the Almay mascara is as well, or according to the company it is. Bare essentials face powder is as well.

God Bless
