This may sound strange, but as a fairly new Celiac I'm trying to absorb
all this information and I have one question about non-food items.  I
thought CD was a intestinal problem with gluten getting in to the
intestine and damaging the villi.  Now, how does a skin care product
affect the intestine, if it were absorbed thru the skin, wouldn't it be
in the bloodstream?  Maybe someone could help me understand this.
