A friend gave me some products from Bath and Body Works for my birthday-Does anyone use any particular product from there they could recommend? Going to the mall today.. (Cucumber Melon anti-bacterial moisturizing hand soap?) It looks ok.

Used to go in there alot until I went gluten-free since I am not sure about their products.

Thanks :)

I have read here several times that products from Bath and Body Works are not gluten-free. I can't be sure, just don't use any of it, or buy more, until somebody answers who can give you a definitive answer!

I was told by B&BW that they would clearly label any gluten. Their lotions clearly label oat flour. I would call the 1-800 number and ask, but this used to be their policy last time I checked.

Most of the lotions are NOT gluten free. They contain oat flour. I don't know about any of the shampoos or makeup. I think most of the regular body washes are gluten free, not the body creams. The antibacterial soaps all look gluten free, even the moisturizing ones. The body sprays all look gluten free. I use all of those without trouble. Even some of the body butters appear gluten free.

I don't shop there like I used to but I am still using some of their things. Mostly things that I already had that didn't have any suspicious ingredients. I haven't called them but remember reading somewhere that they would list anything. FWIW, I haven't reacted to the moisturizing antibacterial hand soap. My head burns if I use shampoo with wheat in it and then itches for several days so I know I do react gluten on my skin.

That is really good to know, my house is riddled with their products, lotions, cremes, hand soaps, and wall flowers although I doubt the wall flowers could gluten you :D

I am the same exact way...Have been using it for years and it doesnt bother me in the least.

I have to physically eat it for it to affect me and I have no plans in the distant future to eat my body wash despite how yummy it smells. :P

Everything in there smells good! From what I could tell the lotions I looked at had gluten but not the creams. Used to buy the tranquil sleep but they don't have that anymore. Since I am always eating, I don't want to put gluten especially on my hands- which is usually where I put it most.

I like that Restoration Hardware "Beach House"- I think that is gluten-free but not sure. ;)

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
