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 But it may be out of date...)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

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
