<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> The original question - This is my first winter gluten-free (diagnosed this past November). It seems to me my skin is excessively dry - more than other years in winter. Then, of course, there is the problem of finding body lotion that works and is gluten-free which is a topic by itself. Has anybody else noticed skin dryness or is it due to other factors such as prolonged cold, etc.? I do have DH which I hope will resolve before too many more months. There were many responses. It's really wonderful there are so many people willing to help - I really appreciate it. Summary: Three responses advised me to have my thyroid checked. Several responses said it didn't matter whether skin products are GF or not - either was OK. One person will ask Dr. Fasano when seen in a couple of weeks. Several advised getting humidifer for home. (We have three going in the house. We have hot water heat so a central humidifier isn't a possibility.) Products used are: Amlactin moisturizer; GoJo hand cream from Akron, Ohio; Baby oil; Bath oil, Eucalyptus oil in place of soap, Burt's Bees Carrot Nutritive Body Lotion; Eucerin Cream; Cetaphil Face Cleaner; Ceptophil Lotion; Neutrogena Fragrance Free Body Emulsion, Norwegian and Formula Hand Cream; Kiss My Face with Olive and Aloe; Dove soap; Aquaphor hand and body lotion; Lubriderm; GF Savonnerie products; Alba Botanical lotion, Vannicream hand lotion; Nivea; Mary Kay satin hands and extra emollient night cream; Aubrey organics; Other suggestions: take Vit. D and magnesium, take 2 T of flax seed oil and drink 90 oz. water daily, take 1-2 g fish oil, drink water with salt (24 oz. water with 1/4 tsp. salt) - this person had adrenal problems as well, wear cotton underwear and put lotion on before toweling completely dry, take omega-6 fatty acids Thanks to all.
