I'd like to look into what members look for when shopping for everyday items, and what to watch out for in hidden gluten containing products.

I've heard that some toothepastes, and other self-care products are gluten-containing.

Thanks!

I would also love to hear the answer to this...

I need a great hand lotion - my knuckles are bleeding from washing so much :rolleyes:

I tried a new one and I now have a rash - thought it was gluten free - but always have had sensitive skin so it could be even something else...

I did a search within the forum and found this EXCELLENT blog:

It lists products by company name.

You can always buy the Clan Thompson guide available from the Gluten-Free Mall on this site.

I use Gluten-Free Savonnerie products. Open Original Shared Link I have used them for like 5 months now and really like them. They just changed owners and I sent an e-mail asking about possible cross contaminations (they make soy containing products under another brand), but they are very carefull with that stuff and make them at 3 different locations.

I use almost all of their products.

I use crest toothpast. Someone posted an e-mail sent to costumer service at Creset and they garanteed that their producs\ts are gluten free so I went for that.

Just plain coconut oil is a great moisturizer. There are many others out there, and I've found the labels to be pretty clear. If you have products you like, post them so we can tell you if they're gluten-free.

I use Kenra shampoo and conditioner. Ivory soap. Burt's Body Wash. Burt's Beeswax. Cover Girl Outlast lipstick. Estee Lauder Equalizer foundation. Origins eyeshadow. Estee Lauder eye pencils and lip pencils. See, a lot of mainstream products are safe.

I've never seen a toothpaste that was not gluten-free, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Currently I'm using Sensodyne because I wear braces and my teeth have gotten sensitive. Prior to this, I used Tom's of Maine available at health food stores.

In the beginning I found it was easiest to read the label every time I used something to be sure products I already had were safe. I still read the ingredients on products I buy because formulas change - for example, I used to use Aveda Caviar shampoo, but they added a gluten containing ingredient.

A couple off the top of my head to watch out for ... many Bath and Body Works products have gluten. You can read the label as they're clearly marked. Also, Lip Smackers are not gluten-free.

That is all so helpful! Thanks!

I love aveeno - it really helps my hands - however it has oats in it....

Anyone know about that? Do you think if I use it at night and sleep with it, by morning I could wash the residue off before I eat?

I don't think that's a good idea. I'd look for something else for your hands. I wouldn't be 100% positive that I would never get it in my mouth!

I've tried Olay Quench Therapy Hand Creme and I broke out in a rash (it's gluten-free - My skin is just super sensitive.) I also tried ShiKai Dry Skin Therapy (also gluten-free and broke into a rash). I think I'm going to try good old fashioned Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Healing next....

I thought I heard somewhere that sensodyne toothpaste contained gluten?

Well, they won't certify that they are gluten- free:

"Does the product contain gluten or is the product manufactured at the same site as another gluten containing product?

No, we do not add gluten to this product, however we are unable to ascertain that the product is 100% free of gluten as we purchase raw materials from outside sources. The product is not manufactured at the same site as another gluten containing product."

Is there any difference among coconut oils? Do you have a preference? This is something I've been thinking of trying for my dry, winter skin. I might want to cook with it also. I recently was exploring a web site full of articles about the benefits of the stuff. Contrary to my basic diet beliefs, but I try to keep an open mind to new evidence.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
