Gluten-free Products

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.

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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
