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 But it may be out of date...)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)

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
