Natural/organic Body Care Products?

I was loving Avalon Organics, but they will not confirm gluten content, and they appear to use oats in someof their products. :(

I need to find hand/body lotion, shampoo and conditioner that is not full of nasty chemicals and is gluten-free, but I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is there a list somewhere or another thread on this subject that I'm missing?

Also, is Dr. Bronner's soap gluten-free?

TIA!

A lot of Burt's Bees products are gluten free. I've seen a post of all the ones that are on this site.

Giovanni makes gluten free shampoos and conditioners, they have recently come out with some skin care products also but I have not checked those. I like the 50/50 shampoo and the Smooth as Silk conditioner. Badger Balm makes some nice gluten-free soaps also.

Giovanni shampoos and conditioners are really good. Aubrey Organics shampoo is pretty good (the conditioner is not gluten-free). You might also want to try California Baby.

I like Kiss My Face olive oil soap (it has about 3 ingredients)

Coconut oil is my favorite body lotion

I would be surprised if Dr. Bronner's soap contains gluten, but I'm sure the company will let you know if you ask (they seem gluten aware...their food products - Alpsnack Bars - are labeled gluten-free)

ShiKai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner is gluten-free. Some of their other varities are not.

Jason has a nice liquid shower soap. They will clearly list any gluten.

Badger Balm is completely gluten-free, and they have some nice moisturizing products.

I've been using lotion, shampoo and conditioner from Desert Essence. It's not bad. The lotion scents are a little over the top for me but the coconut one is manageble.

Alba Botanica products are great.

I just bought a new product called Live Clean. However, I'm in Canada and I don't know if it's available outside of Canada.

I use Avalon organicas lavendar facial cleansing milk and day moisturizer without problems. I read the back and there is no offending ingredients. I use Giovanni or Shakai shampoo and conditioner.

      Ibuprofen

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
