Need A Substitute For The Old Oatmeal Bath Remedy

My little girl used to enjoy oatmeal baths if she got a rash or too many mosquito bites. That's obviously a no-no now. She can't have bubble baths due to frequent UTIs. What do y'all put in a gluten-free comfort bath? I'd also like to know for myself... oatmeal baths used to be a cheap home spa treatment.

Baking soda works pretty good. Just sprinkle all throughout in a tepid bath. :D

Sounds crazy, but I use tea bags in a tepid bath. The tannic acid is very soothing to irritated skin. I use plain old Lipton black tea or inexpensive green tea (I usually use 3 bags per bath). Just hold the bags under the water as it fills the tub, then throw them in when it's full! :P

Burt's Bees makes a Buttermilk Bath Soak in their "Baby Bee" line. I'm new to all this so im not sure it's gluten-free, but the ingredients lists "Nonfat dry milk, whole dry buttermilk, fragrance" it's awesome! Hoping it's gluten-free!!!

I agree about the tea baths, I use them when I have a rash coming on due to DH. I was told about this when my daughter was real young and having bad bouts of diaper rash. It works amazingly well. Good luck.

Thanks y'all! I knew y'all would know!!

The burts bees sounds divine, but we're also casein free, so we'll have to pass on that one. A "tea bath" sounds yummy even if I'm not itchy.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
