Are there any Shower gells, bath soaps, Toothpastes etc that should be avoided on a strict gluten free diet? Toothpastes mostly.

Only things that get in your mouth need to be gluten free.  I have never seen  a toothpaste with actual gluten in it.

It is lotions and some hair products that sometimes have gluten.  I tend to avoid those with gluten because I will sometimes get shampoo or lotion in my mouth.

 

Gluten can't get through skin,  You just have to make sure you aren't consuming it.  :)

I stick with basic Crest toothpaste. Colgate has some wishy-washy statement, so I avoid using it. I think the Crest Pro-Life products are also questionable, but I can't remember. I never buy them.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

      @lizzie42, Are the results you posted above for your daughter or for your son? If these are for your 5 year-old son, they are strongly positive and definitely suggest celiac disease. The ttg-iga is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing and at 59 it is a strong positive. If you are wondering why some of the other tests are negative, you need to know that is normal. Seldom are all the antibody tests positive on a complete celiac panel.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      If your son is only 5 and his sister is diagnosed celiac disease, is it a possibility that he has been eating a majority gluten free diet with his sister.  If this is the case his result would be low or negative.  The choice would be yours as to whether to put him in onto a full gluten diet for 4 -6 weeks, handle and NOTE the changes in his diet, behavour and body symptons.  Then to test again and see if there is a difference.  The other choice is to just continue on the gluten free diet without any medical diagnosis.  Remembering that should you decide to actually have the test in the future you will have to run the gluten challenge.  Please let us know how we can support you

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.
