Unless there is an issue with a topical allergy, soap isn't an issue for people with celiac. That said, because there is the possibility it could get in a small child's mouth with all the messing around in a tub, it can't hurt to be safe. J&J baby soap in the yellow bottle is gluten free. I used to use it. Eucerin Calming Body wash is also.

 

It is possible that your baby simply decided that she doesn't like baths or water. My daughter hated water and baths, screamed bloody murder and acted like she was being killed every time she was bathed from the time she was around one or so until she was almost 4. Drove me up a freakin' wall, but I was sure it was a water issue because she was the same way with pools.

 

If she only screams while she's being washed, she may also just have super sensitive skin and may not like the washcloths or the soap your using on her skin and it may be enough to make her crazy with how it feels on her. Or maybe it's a control issue and she just doesn't like you doing that to her. She's a good age for that sort of thing.

My daughter did love baths, but she hated her car seat.  We could never travel farther than what we could tolerate hearing which was about 20 minutes.  I used to visit my mom and on the way home, I'd sing out loud to attempt to cover up her screaming and calm her.  Didn't work though.  She was a tiny baby and we weren't able to turn her car seat around until she was over 22 pounds (I think) and that didn't happen until she was two years old!  Why not sooner?  My hubby was an airbag/seatbelt engineer!  When we turned her around, she stopped screaming.  It was a miracle.  I guess she hated driving backwards!

 

Who knew?  

 

So, I agree, it might not be a gluten issue.

 

I take that back.  She loved water until she saw, at about 18 months or so, A Winnie the Pooh movie (not the original) that showed Tigger pulling the plug and rabbit going down the drain (of course he popped up in his garden in the next scene).  Then my toddler was afraid of the bath drain but I solved that by covering it with a long bath mat.  The worst was taking swim lessons.  She would not go into the deep end where the "drain" was.  Only now (age 12) is she playing water polo.  Kids are extremely impressionable.  If only had a known (but really Disney?), but I was desperate and movie time was a great time for me to get cleaned up or pay bills.

At that age, she really doesn't need much soap if at all. A wash cloth would probably get most everything off... That's what we used for wipes too was wet baby wash clothes.

 

How about the water temperature. Maybe the temp bothers her.

 

Good luck. I hope you figure it out.

I don't know if she sits on the bottom of the tub or a mat. My kids loved baths but didn't like the slippery bottom. They sat on a rubbery, non- slip mat for a long time. Or maybe she would like to take a shower with you? One of mine loved that. I used a cup to rinse his hair and let him play with the cup and water. He just sat on the floor away from a direct spray.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
