Is Lever 2000 Aloe and cucumber Bar Soap Gluten Free?  Some site say that one ingredient may be a problem but don't say which one.  When I called Unilvever they told me the 'starch' had been removed (corn derivitive).  Is this soap gluten-free?

I found that it contains the following ingredients:

Ingredients

Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate Or Sodium Palm Kernelate, Water (Aqua), Stearic Acid, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Methyl 2-Sulfolaurate, Fragrance (Parfum), Petrolatum, Sodium Stearate, Disodium 2-Sulfolaurate, Glycerin, Sodium Sulfate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Propylene Glycol, Tetrasodium Edta, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Green 3 (Ci 42053), Green 8 (Ci 59040), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891).

Based on the ingredients list provided, this soap does not appear to contain any obvious gluten ingredients. The components such as Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Cocoate, and other common soap-making ingredients are typically gluten-free. However, some fragrances or additives in personal care products can occasionally contain gluten, though it's rare.

If the soap is made in the USA, manufacturers are usually diligent about labeling gluten-containing ingredients, especially given the growing demand for gluten-free personal care products. That said, since cross-contamination can sometimes occur during manufacturing, it may be a good idea to contact the manufacturer directly for confirmation or check if the product is labeled gluten-free on its packaging.

For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, using gluten-free soap is often preferred as a precaution, even though gluten is not absorbed through the skin.

Thank you very much for responding.  I appreciate it.  I think I will call the company again (phone number provided on product packaging; however no gluten-free free wording on packaging.  I will ask about cross-contamination.

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
