Bath Products

I know that with gluten, you have to watch what bath products you use. I've found many gluten free bath and body products but a lot of them contain soy and milk. It is especially hard to find a body wash that does not contain soy. Does anyone know if you have to be as careful with soy and casein when using these types of products?

Well, if you get irritated by soy or casein, I'd steer clear of them in everything. I break out in hives/rash whether I ingest soy, or put it on my skin. I've been using the Fiji organics, as there is no soy or gluten in them. I love their pineapple coconut lotion and soap! Open Original Shared Link

(I'd call them to make sure, but I believe they are all dairy free too, as they use coconut for everything.)

I don't know about casein. But one of my primary symptoms from ingesting soy is that my face breaks out. So I'm hardly likely to use the stuff on my body :o

If there are alternative products that don't contain anything I am sensitive to in food, I see no reason to chance it.

Thankyou very much for the replies. I really appreciate it. I do have skin problems and they are probably caused by the food intolerances. I'm hoping they'll start to clear up soon now that I'm not eating anything that is bad for me but it is hard to find bath products that are gluten-free, sf, and cf. Thanks for the link, Sugarmag. I'll definitely check it out.

Hathor, has your skin cleared up since you've been sf?

It's funny, because ingesting soy causes majoy skin problems for me, but I use Giovanni Organics shampoo, conditioner, leave-in hair treatment and hair spray...with no problems, and one of the ingredients in each of those items is soy protein. :huh:

Jason body wash is good...and I think it's soy-free.

Yes, it has. I've read that skin problems are associated with soy allergies or intolerances. I just cut it out, though, because Enterolab said I was intolerant. I thought, well, let's see what happens. I didn't expect the skin thing at all. (My reading came afterwards.)

If you google on "perioral dermititis" you will see pictures similar to what I had. I tried all sorts of things and nothing made it go away before. Eating low fat helped a little and cutting out fluoride dental products did too. But it was still noticeable. I felt it was hardly fair that I always looked like I had some acne since I was a teenager (I'm 54 now).

I wonder if it has something to do with the effect of soy on hormones?

Oh well, I'll take it, whatever the cause :lol:

Mango, that gives me hope that maybe I can use Caress body wash. I was using it with no problems but then I saw that it had soy in it so I stopped using it. However, the other ones I have tried, except for Ivory, make me itch. Its weird considering they are soy and gluten free.

Hathor, I googled that perioral dermatitis stuff and some of those pictures look like the stuff that I get sometimes. Its finally starting to go away though, thank goodness. And like you, I'll definitely take it going away for whatever reason.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
