I am a newly diagnosed celiac person participating on this board. I manufacture an all natural line of bar soaps that just happen to also be completely gluten free.

There are occasionally questions asked on the board about where to get safe gluten free soaps. I have hesitated to chime in because I certainly don't want to break any rules.

Please tell me what I am allowed to say, if anything.

Hi Kathy Ann,

I copied rule #2 from the forum rules/guidelines--

Do not promote your own business, Web site or products--even if they offer free services.

We're very happy to have you here, though -- feel free to ask any questions you may have or join into the discussions! There is a ton of good information here, and lots of nice people who are very knowledgeable about Celiac and the gluten-free diet.

Welcome :)

Welcome, and really I don't have a clue but I would think that if you would like to advertise your product you should contact Scott, it is his board. :)

Maybe you can sell your products through the store part of this website.

If someone asks what brands are glutenfree, I think you could state your brand, just don't say it is yours. You could also email someone about it, if they have that feature enabled.

Kathy Ann,

While I'm not the official last word here (that would be Scott, admin), I can't think of any reason why you can't have people email you about your soaps. After all, those emails and PM's are private anyway. :)

I don't know what Scott charges for the ads on the side (Bob's Red Mill always has one going), and if you could afford that. But that would be one way of doing it. Or having a special event (like a sale), you could then advertise it in the calendar on this board.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      By oyea · Posted

      I was not diagnosed with celiac disease, but am gluten-intolerant. I have been gluten free for almost 10 years. In April of this year (2025), I got a steroid shot. I have been able to eat sourdough bread before with no problems. After the steroid shot, I developed gluten-neuropathy, and I could no longer eat sourdough bread, and now the neuropathy returns with small amounts of gluten.  I also get POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) when I eat gluten. My heart beats so fast in the middle of the night I can't sleep. I'm usually up for hours.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      This is my current exhausting battle with the medical field. As Ive mentioned in past I was diagnosed in 1994 by colonoscopy and endoscopy and was told i was celiac and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.NOPE not at all in fact im worse thanks to being disregarded and my new word that was given that fits perfectly medically gaslight for over 30 years.I was not informed by anyone about the condition other than its a food allergy. Long story short if it wasn't for this website.I would be so much worse. I have been glutenfree since 1994 and was diagnosed with many other foods in 2007. I have stayed away from those items, except dairy sometimes I'll cheat when I know I'll be home a few days.My work history is horrible thanks to my digestive issues. I had my past primary for 25 years and everything im going through, he danced around celiac disease. My last day of employment was March 08, 2023 I was a bus driver and took pride in that.I get sick easily and when covid hit me and I stopped taking tramadel to push to give my bloated body a break, I haven't " bounced " back.Though not that well before but worse now.I applied for disability because yet again I was fired solely on health, which by the way seems to be legal because no lawyer wants to help.I was denied and my primary stated let me fluff it up a bit.FLUFF IT UP A BIT?He has been my doctor for 25 years! All that Im going through was basically ignored and not put together. I switched primary doctor and seeing new gi and its EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING because they are staying all my test came back clean, good, its normal. Except THANKYOU LORD JESUS HLA DQ2 is positive that Itty bitty tiny little test of positive FINALLY VALIDATION RIGHT.No, Im still struggling and fighting its not fair

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Joel K · Posted

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      Yes. And then it will become part of her medical record, which was my point.
