<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Just got back from a visit with Dr. Fasano. My son had poison ivy and we gave him an Aveno (oatmeal) bath. I had read on this list that it wouldn't affect CD patients because the gluten can't go through the skin. Dr. Fasano said NOT to use oatmeal baths because of minor cuts or scratches where the gluten can get into the body. Charlie
