Soap: To Wash Or Not To Wash?

So last night I was laying in bed and starting thinking about hand soap. If I am not using lotion with gluten--what about soap? I've never heard anyone mention it before--but do you guys watch hand soap? If so, what about when you're out? My soap at home is okay, so maybe its not in very many...

I watch all things that I use. Soap is included in what I check, simply because I have such a myriad of skin allergies.

So do you take it as far as not using the soap when you are at the mall, running errands etc. ?

No, I use the soap in public restrooms. I'm more afraid of what diseases I might pick up than I am of the soap! :D I just rinse very well with the water. I also don't put anything I touch in my mouth until I am home and can wash with my own soap. After having daycare in my home for 6 years, I've learned not to put things in my mouth, and that soap is not as scary as some of the germs that are out there!

That's true. I had wondered if any took it as far as carrying their own soap or sanitizer. I probably will not worry about the soap other than in my own home. I worked for Head Start for a year--needless to say, I washed my hands all the time! (After I saw how they "washed" their hands after going to the bathroom !) I can relate :lol:

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
