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. ;)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
