You mean I can't have my lotion either?!?

Ok folks. I am a fool. I have been sitting here a blasted fool.
I must tell you...every night. I have a routine. It isn't a long one, but it is true. I take my bath. I dry my hair. I put on my jammies and rub lotion on my feet and hands. My feet are socked for the night and I get to smell Moonlight Path(my most favorite Bath and Body Works scent since I was in college) on my hands before I drift.
Every morning I wake up....and my ring is tight and I go to the bathroom and wash my hands and massage them. They always swell in the morning. It's always been so.
However,
It isn't supposed to be so.
Who knew I was going to have to watch out for my lotions? Almost all of my famous maker body products are made from wheat germ oil.
HELLO?!?
For Fifteen years I have been putting their products(in one scent or the other) on my hands and feet at night. Every morning within those years I have woken up with swollen hands. Except this morning. Haha! This is a little crazy even for me....But I was reading an article about gluten free beauty products. It suggested going through all of your beauty products and figuring out which ones are have gluten in them. How ridiculous! So now I have to investigate not only what I'm putting in my body but what is on the outside too? Fab.
Your skin absorbs about 30% of what you put on your skin into your bloodstream(according to a study on celiac.com) and...Apparently almost everything at "famous maker beauty products" has wheat germ oil in it...for moisturizing...they list it actually as a benefit to your skin. Which explains why certain people's hands puff up like a pigeon in the morning.
I am elated to have figured out my swollen hand thing. I am beyond despair from having to throw out one of the only constants in my life over the past fifteen years.
I have listed some things here that I already use and are gluten free(and I didn't know it)...

Dove: Dove Shampoos and Conditioners...Dove will list any gluten on their label.
Crest toothpaste....I spoke with a rep and they say their products are gluten free
(in fact celiac.com suggests you call and ask manufacturers if there is any, wheat, wheat germ,oats, malt, or millet in their products)
Smashbox Cosmetics(which I already love) are gluten free.
So! I will investigate this and compile a list of products that I have found(that actually work)and are gluten free...Godspeed Farrah..and good luck!
