I have tried searching for this, but cannot find it:

Is Oil of Olay soap gluten free? I'm finding contradicting information.

Thanks.

Hello, I wrote Oil of Olay after using their Hypoallergenic body wash. I did discover it had gluten. They informed me that they didn't see causing a problem for celiac disease because you would have to ingest it. All I know is that it left me with a horrible itchy rash. I don't bother using their body wash after that. It is possible the formulation has changed in the last year, but I won't use it anymore.

I'm more concerned with their bars of soap. How did you find out the body wash had gluten.

The ingredients in the label. I believe that I have DH. I had horrible itching for almost a year. When I wrote them, they replied it shouldn't matter since I wasn't eating it. I am not sure about their bar soap. You could call or email them to find out. Wendy

When I contacted them a while ago they told me the only gluten-free products they have are the unscented lotion for sensitive skin. I didn't ask about the bar soap but if it has a fragrance it most likely is not safe. I usually won't use any products by any company that tells me since I don't eat it, it is safe. I don't feel they will actually give me a correct answer.

Because something has fragrance automatically puts it into the not safe mode? Explain please?

Many companies don't know exactly what is in the fragrances and the vehicle or other chemical components for them can be derived from a gluten grain oil or alcohol.

This almost the same response I got from L'Oreal last year when I called them about a body lotion. They said that the fragrances could contain gluten.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt. I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3. I haven't taken the tetracycline with it. It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands...

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt.   I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3.  I haven't taken the tetracycline with it.   It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands of years.  It is absorbed into the skin better than creams made from plants.  It helps prevent or lesson scarring.  See the study below. Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide "The combination of tetracycline and nicotinamide can be recommended as a useful therapy for patients where dapsone is not available or for patients who do not tolerate dapsone." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/

I am vegan so this is a big adjustment to add this to my diet. Thansk fro the help.
