I've still put off buying these for Hunter, as I am not sure of brands and which ones contain gluten. I have been using Kiss my face bar soap on him then no lotion. Please let me know which are safe. Namebrands would be great. So what do you all use on your kiddos? TIA!!

I don't have gluten-free kids, but for myself, I'm partial to Neutrogena brand, since most of their products are gluten-free, & they will send you a definite list unlike many cya companies. (There was one posted on this board, I'll try to search for it. But it may be out of date...)

Their sunscreens are not all gluten-free though; I use Banana Boat sunscreen.

I know this may sound really bad, but so far, I have continued using what we have always use, Not because I haven't wanted to strictly use gluten-free items, but because there are 3 of us who are gluten-free, and one of them has many other allergies (mainly food), we have to pick our battles. I just cannot afford to get as strict as I'd like with soaps, shampoos. I should state that with us, I would have to find these items corn free as well as gluten free... ugh :huh:

I will also say that D.H. doesn't seem to be a huge problem here, it's suspect with my ds, but we suspect corn being more of a cause of his body rash more than gluten.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Dear Eeyorific,

I just recently found out I am gluten intolerant. I have been all over the internet finding gluten free foods that I can have. Going gluten-free without going broke is hard, but it can be done. Nuetragena has numerous items as was previously mentioned by one of our fellow gluten-free buddies. Some tips to save money I would like to provide you with are:

1. Go to Google and type in Kraft gluten-free foods list, and their safe products will pop right up after you click the site. Do this with Hormel, Oscar Mayer, and a number or others. You will not believe what you can eat! I am so excited to share this information with everyone!

2. Use coupons! People always forget to do this.

3. Read the circulars! Schnuck's sends one out every week! Other stores do not, though. Going online and reading up on specials can be helpful.

4. Get an Extra Care Card at CVS. You can get canned crabmeat and g.f. cosmetics for a lot less than you would at other places. They sell Nuetragena and others that are safe. I just found out by calling that the Revlon gloss I use is g.f. Another Web site I was on stated that Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is g.f. and so is CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick.

5. Only buy what you must at the healthfood store. G.F. bread and crackers for example. The rest buy at the supermarket. Places like Sam's Club are good for buying staples like veggies, meats, or rice in bulk.

6. Go to the Chinese Market. You can get rice noodles, bean threads, and soba noodles and sometimes g.f. soy sauce there. Just read the labels and ask the clerk when you are unsure of anything.

I would be happy to post you the URLs for where I found these lists. There are a ton of them! It is such good news that I do not have to make everything or starve! We can have Dinty Moore Beef Stew! Tostitos, Cheetos are okay, Lay's Stax, Fritos, Pace Picante Sauce, Kraft Thousand Island Fat-free Dressing, Kraft Fat-free Mayonnaise, Conagra's Smart Balance, and so many other things!

I use Kiss My Face unscented lotion, Suave Shampoo (read ingredients, WBRO wheat barley rye oats will be clearly listed), and Burt's Bees lip balm. I don't wear makeup... For my daughter she uses the same lotion, Suave Kids shampoo... we use Irish Springs soap, Dial Clear liquid hand soap, Purell hand sanitizer, Colgate toothpaste...

Does Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo have gluten? I never really paid attention to this especially with him being a boy and his hair can't reach his mouth but on the other hand, it still gets on his hands and if not rinsed well can end up in his mouth. How about Lever 2000 soap?

If you want to go cheap and easy, but still avoid the additives, you can use castille soap (it's actually not harsh on your skin), and straight almond or jojoba oil for moisturizing (a little goes a *long* way). Heck, you could even use the baking soda for shampoo and apple cider vinegar for conditioner route (which I do, occasionally, as it works well). :)

Tiffany, How do you use baking soda for shampoo?

Does anybody know of a safe gluten-free bath bubbles? That's a good question. I know kids get water in their mouths while bathing, and those bubbles make great Santa beards!

I mix it with a little water to form a paste, and rub it in and scrub it around like any shampoo, then rinse it out. It sounds really weird and awkward, but once you try it, you get the hang of it. And, especially combined with the vinegar (rinse out the baking soda well first :) ), it realy does work very nicely on hair - especially as a once in a while thing if your hair has gotten really dirty.

Hi, I called and checked. Lever 2000 Aloe has no gluten and all of the Lever products will name wheat, oats, rye, or barley if it is in there. I also checked for J&J baby shampoo the Lavender one and it is also gluten free.

I'm new to this forum and celiacs. my daughter and I have just been diagnosed . I never thought about shampoo and soap. There are so many ins and outs to this disease sometimes I just don't think I'll ever get a handle on it all. There are eight of us in my family, 6 kids my husband and myself and only 2 of us so far have been diagnosed. switching everyone over is a little difficult. now I need to worry about hygeine products too.

Thanks, I'll try anything. Even this organic shampoo is giving me blotches and it has no sodium laurel sulfates. Can't figure out what to use. :blink:

I am a 100% Body Shope person and love their products. Some do contain Gluten, however their labels are so easy to read, staff are incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to ingredients and I have better hair, skin and nails since switching to their products. B)

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
