Vitamins And Shampoo

My grandma was diagnosed over 2 years ago. We watch everything we eat and use. She still has breakouts. We are beginning to wonder if it's not her vitamins and supplements. Maybe even her shampoo. She also has osteoporosis and must take calcium. Does anyone have the name of some safe vitamins and calcium supplements. Also, brands of shampoo that are safe? We are about at our wits end. Help please

Freeda vitamins are safe as well as dove shampoo. I'm not sure if all dove products are ok, so look at the labels. Freeda is sold online at www.veganessentials.com (I think it's .com) They may be sold elsewhere. I know the gluten free store in Vancouver WA sells some but don't know where you live.

try www.kirkmanlabs.com - they make vitamins that are gluten (and other allergen) free. I like them a lot.

also, www.gfsoap.com makes gluten free shampoos, soaps, conditioners, lotion, etc.

Is everything safe from cross contamination in the house (i.e., no double dipping in butters or mayos), no crumbs, not using the common toaster to toast 'her' food, etc? (just double checking!)

Hi Dawnmarie,

A couple of suggestions that are available at the drugstore--

Centrum Advanced Vitamins are gluten-free.

Dove will clearly label any gluten on the bottle.

A lot of Neutrogena products are gluten-free--they're also clearly marked.

Jamieson vitamins indicate if they are gluten-free right on the bottle.

I use Thermasilk shampoo with no problems. I've also heard that Dove will clearly indicate gluten on their ingredient lists.

I drink vitamin water. It was the only way I could find a multi vitamin without iodine.

Hi there,

You´re best to check the label of the vitamins: make sure there are no coloring, flavors as well.

The same goes for the rest...

I had a hard time finding gluten-free iodine free multi vitamins. Iodine exasserbates the skin condition. I finally found vitamin water. I've run it past 2 doctors and a pharmacist. All seem to think it is a good alternative.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
