As of 2-21-06, I have uncovered some info. that may be helpful to you that concerns children.

We were doing a massive, full-scale gluten check at our house. :rolleyes: My son kept having suspicious symptoms and we are VERY careful about his food.

Desitin original diaper ointment (w/ zinc oxide) is safe, however, the Desitin Creamy diaper creme IS NOT gluten-free and is not safe.

Huggies wipes are suspect (according to the phone call), Pampers wipes are safe. Pampers Kan-doo wipes are safe.

Children's tylenol has new flavors and they are working on testing for gluten. The new flavors cannot be deemed safe yet. (as of phone call 2-21-06) Motrin still has safe flavors on the shelves.

Softsoap brand liquid hand soap, Germ-X hand sanitizer, and Purell hand sanitizer are all safe.

(Hand sanitizer does not remove gluten, only soap and water will)

Bandaid brand bandaids are safe, Curad bandaids are suspect.

Puffs, Bounty, and Charmin do not use gluten in any paper product or adhesive on their rolls.

Crayola products manufactored by BinneySmith are safe except for play clay and playdough.

Pediasure is safe, as is the Kroger brand and Walmart brand of the same.

Crest and Colgate children's varities of toothpaste are safe.

Palmolive dishwashing liquid is gluten-free.

Kleenex anti-viral tissues are gluten-free.

L'Oreal Kids shampoo's are safe (and smell great!) There is one with almond extract if you are allergic to nuts.

I have worked hard to try and gluten free our environment as my little one puts his hands in his mouth (and everything else) all the time. This list is a "starting point" for those of you who need to do the same. I hope it helps! Everyone on this forum has been so helpful to me. I wanted to share the info. that I had been able to gather from various sources.

Happy gluten-freeing! ;)

Just thought of a few more things to add!

I know that most people wouldn't think this necessary, but who would have thought gluten would be in diaper creme either?

Just to be safe, I checked on our paper products. For your peace of mind:

SOLO cups and plates are confirmed safe

Hefty ZooPals (children's paper products) and their other paper goods are confirmed safe

So if you are paranoid, or just new and want to be sure :D . . .

Eat happy on these paper plates and toast SOLO in these safe cups as well!

wow, thanks. I didn't know about the bandaids, looks like I am going to have to pay attention next time we buy some instead of get what's cheapest (don't worry we have bandaid brand now)

Thanks! Tylenol liquid is safe as well. I verified this when my daughter was really sick 2 weeks ago. The meltaways were not confirmed though so I bought the liquid.

Johsnons buddies hair products and soaps are also safe.

The Zooth brand toothpastes said they cannot guarantee no gluten so don't use it. (their statement)

Would you happen to know which flavor of Motrin is safe. As careful as I thought I was, I never checked this. We use the liquid as well.

The dye free, stain free Motrin was gluten-free last time I checked (about 6 months ago). Tania

Wow! Thank you soooo much :D I am pretty new to this and was curious about these things. I wasn't sure how much help the 1-800's would be about some of the items, but I guess they are. Thank you again! You have saved me a world of work and a ton of worries!!!

Blessings,

Tammy

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Normal vitamin D range us from 20 ng/ml to 100 ng/ml.  200 nmol/L is the same as 80ng/ml. Minimum vitamin D is based soley on preventing Rickets and osteomyelitis.  Othe research is considered irrelevant insufficnet proof.   My 25(OH)D level is just over 80 ng/dl.  It took 8 years of 10,000 IU a day to get here because Celiac Disease causes low D.  In 1952 the UK banned all vitamin D supplementation due to a error.  Most of the world followed suit.  In the western world vitamin D deficiency ranges from 40% of the US to 60% in the UK. If you had an office with workspace for 30 to 100 workers, but you were restricted to less than 50 workers, how well would the office run.? A factory worker has 40 ng/ml,  A lifeguard has around 80.  Who's immune system works better? Simultaneously, 1,25(OH)2D3 up- and downregulates more than 1000 genes responsible for cellular proliferation, differentiation, a variety of cellular metabolic activities, antiangiogenesis and apoptosis   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9919777/

      Kirkland granulated garlic

      Welcome to the forum, @Mpanknin! Questions like that really have no definite answer. Even if you tested a container of it for gluten content, the test results would only be good for that production batch. Assume it has some degree of CC. A more important question might be, how sensitive are you to minor amounts of gluten exposure?

      Thanks Wheatwacked. My D is normal. I take B12, B6, and a bone health supplement (I'm 67) that has K1, Calcium, Magnesium, and a bunch of other things. But no thiamine. But I will have my doc add it to my next blood draw. Thanks for the info WW!

      Wondering if this is gluten free or not. The only ingredients show garlic. Nothing about where it's processed if there's cross-contamination etc. Anybody know?
