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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
