Great Site To Check Personal Care Products

This site (Open Original Shared Link) is a great site to check soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth paste, perfume. You can easily read the ingredients (I have trouble reading some of those little bottles). It also tells you how safe it is for the environment and you. I thought that you might find it helpful. I know I'm having a hard time with some of these products. I'm trying to find from head to foot something that won't make me itch.

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to make it so you could just click the site. If you type in www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2 it will take you right to the site.

Thanks for posting this. I'm super-sensitive and get zapped all the time by stuff like that. That site is SOOO cool. I love that all the information is in one spot.

I just tried to do a cut and paste into my net and said the site couldn't be found.

It sounds like a great site would love to look at it

Judy -

Try this - go to www.ewg.org . On the right side of the screen there's a green banner called Donate Now. Click the second button below that for Skin Deep.

wowzer: Just to clarify for me....this site isn't to check for gluten in the products, right? Just harmful ingredients?

I wish it had a place to search gluten free. If you search for wheat, it brings up all the different names and what types of products they put it in. I am new to following a gluten free diet. I've only been on it for a little over 2 weeks. I am having trouble finding skin products that don't make me itch. I've been doing better with the food part. I just realized my lip gloss has wheat germ oil in it.

I thought that some may be interested about the site. Wendy

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      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.

      Just diagnosed today

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      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.
