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

      Manitol and mri

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
