I replied and lost it somehow, so here we go again!

Tom's of Maine toothpaste...there are others gluten free, but I appreciate their upfrontness about gluten on their website, and feel safe using their toothpaste.

Johnson's Baby Shampoo...I found it listed as safe on some celiac list somewhere on the web. (sorry, I can't remember where)\

I bought cases and cases of some olive-oil based bar soap I found at Costco, JUST because the ingredients seemed basic enough and easy enough to feel safe with, so I've probably got a lifetime supply stashed.

I'm still searching for gluten free lotions (affordable ones!!!)...I would like a hand lotion and facial wrinkle preventive lotion/cream, but I go without for now, because I can't find one guaranteed to be gluten free. I love feeling good and won't take any chances on jeopardizing my health, so until I get some better information, I go without those products.

Suave and Dove will not hide gluten in their products. I use Suave body lotions (I love the new Rose one and the Lavender) and Dove shampoos and conditioners.

I have also used the Giovanni Hair Products and those were quite good but I haven't bought in a while so recheck before using.

The Garneir Nutritioneste product line of skin stuff is also for the most part gluten-free. I haven't checked everthing but I use the facial wash and the facial wash with the scrubby beads and also the moisterizer without SPF. A nice product line.

I live in Colorado (very dry climate). I use Vaseline lotions - the aloe (green bottle) lotion in the summer and the shea butter (I think) brown bottle in the winter. They also will not hide gluten - they are made by uniliver I believe.

Of course I'm not sure if this all applies to the UK, sorry! :huh:

Of the three, shampoo is the most likely to have gluten. The only toothpaste I've ever heard having gluten is Sensodyne, and I'm not sure that's really true. I don't know of any soaps with gluten.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
