Need gluten-free/cf Non-food Products


Guest Villanfam

Recommended Posts

Guest Villanfam

I really could you some help finding gluten-free and casein-free non-food products. They are going to be used at home as well as at my kids' school. If I've left any out that you think might be useful, please feel free to add it in there :P Remember, they have to be not only gluten-free but casein-free as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help, Courtney

Shampoo/Conditioner: many are fine, just read the ingredients; I've used Pantene, Dove, and SkiKai, in addition to a botanical one from Trader Joe's, recently

Body wash: many are fine, just read the ingredients (I use soap, so I don't have a particular recommendations)

Face Soap: the same soaps I mentioned below :), though I use Neutrogena's Acne wash, which may or may not apply

Mouthwash: Listerine, Crest, and most others are fine

Hand soap: most regular ones are fine, I use Softsoap or my dish soap in the kitchen

Hand Sanitizer: Purell, and most others, are just fine

Body lotion: many are fine, just read the ingredients; I tend to use SkiKai's Dry Skin Therpay, Burt's Bees Hand Salve or Carrot Lotion, or Alba Botanicals Body Butter

Face lotion: many are fine, just read the ingredients; I use Alba Botanicals

Something for dry lips/used to use Aquaphor or Vaseline, not sure if they are safe though: Vaseline is fine, as are many others, just read the ingredients; I use Burt's Bees Peppermint Lip Balm

Toilet paper: I don't worry about this one either, and couldn't make use of the super-glued last sheet if I wanted to anyway

Paper towels: I don't worry about this one, and just avoid the last sheet if I'm feeling anal retentive

Disinfecting wipes: in my limited experience I haven't encountered one that was a problem, but always read ingredients, especially if it's something 'fahncy'

Tissue: same answer as for disinfecting wipes above

Moist towelettes for hands: same answer as for disinfecting wipes above

These are out of my area of expertise. :D

Paints for kids:

Crayons:

Makers:

Colored pencils:

Glue:

Glue sticks:

Household cleaners: these generally aren't a problem; I tend to use Seventh Generation or Ecover, which is fine

Landry stuff/Does it matter?: these generally aren't a problem; I also tend to se Seventh Generation

check out this link: it's updated all the time, and GREAT for you. Open Original Shared Link (school supplies is about half-way down).

most of my answers would be the same as tarnalberry's.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
