Could you share which brand names you used or currently using and that are gluten free?

Soap, shampoo and after shamp., shower gel, tooth paste, moisturizer for the body and face etc.

Also, if you know ingredients that contain gluten but are hidden it is good to know. Like vit E = hidden wheat.

Nadia-- saw your response to the Clarins post. Yep-- that list is pretty much everything. I have posted a lot of responses here because I had something happen to me like what happened to you-- I broke out in DH blisters. There is a lovely picture on my blog (linked on my page here) almong with a list of safe stuff I found.

So here is some of what I have that I like so far:

makeup:

All NARS and Shisheido products are gluten free.

Smashbox has lots of safe products (not mascaras)

100% pure lip gloss and blush/lipstick

Chanel lipstick and lipgloss

Other people have mentioned items from Clinique (lipstick,) Lancome (absolut rouge,) and Everyday Minerals. I listed responses from T LeClerc, Guerlain and some other dept store brands.

Shampoo and toiletries (I get them from Sephora and Skinstore):

Lots of LUSH products are safe (I posted a list of ingredients to avoid here)-- shampoo, shower gel, lotion, conditioner, deoderant and even hairstyling products, not to mention bath stuff (bombs, bubble baths, etc.)

Lots of Sundari products (skincare)

Lots of korres (see list here) products are okay-- not the shampoos, though. But they have a styling wax for hair, as well as akincare and lotions.

100% pure is safe lotion and soap.

Burt's Bees has a safe list (it is just a few threads down from this one at the moment.)

Phytologie products have a safe shampoo (jojoba), hairspray (pro) and karanja oil spray

Other people have lists on here of items you can get in a grocery store as well as Dr. Bronners soaps and Weleda (check them out on Saffron Rouge if there isn't a healthfood store near you)

I use crest, but almost all toothpastes are safe with a few exceptions (I believe someone said sensodyne cannot confirm gluten-free status)

As for cleaning products, all of Mrs. Meyers Clean Day products are okay (not the fabric softener or dryer sheets, I think). If you have a brand to check, search it here and something will generally pop-up. You can also look on the internet at the company page. I use all and dawn and comet.

Good luck!

Thank you very much Lisa. This is gonna be like a scavenger hunt. I am so used to Clarins, Proactive, Sensodyne and a few others. I think I will probably find stuff in a big health food store... I am glad I live in a big city.

Vitamin E (as tocopherol) can be derived from wheat, but can also be from other sources. These include oils from sunflower, almond, hazelnut, walnut, olive, peanut and others. This is a case where you have to ask and cannot assume.

I forgot Caudalie (only three things inc shampoo have gluten) and Juara (no gluten ingredients). EcoNvey has no gluten ingredients, but cannot call themselves gluten free (Australia is super strict) because "they don't walk the fields." The wrote this in an email. Alba botanicals cannot guarantee gluten free status. You have to decide where you draw the line sometimes.

There are lots of supermarket/ mainstream brands that are safe too-- I think some suave, pantene and garnier products are okay. There are certain Loreal (their list is posted on here) and Maybelline products too. Just read a few threads on here and you will find products you like.

Remember to use the search feature-- it really comes in handy. Sometimes the threads are old, so you have to try to find the most up-to-date info there is. There are some "master lists" (my term) for household products too-- you will find them listed here as well.

Good luck!

Sorry for the late reply. For me checking every ingredient is so confusing and it seems like I would need years to learn the tricks. The easiest way is maybe to make my own shampoo :rolleyes: or just go to the health food store and ask what's gluten free.

Sorry for the late reply. My house was being painted and I almost asked if the paint was gluten free :lol: Thanks again for the info. I think I need to go to Australia! I always liked that place and not only they have sunny weather and warmth but they are also strict on gluten!

Today, I started telling some members of my family that I went gluten free. They don't live in the same country and they have never heard of gluten intolerance. I told my brother and my mother who show some symptoms to stop eating bread, pasta and anything made of white flour. They asked what they were going to eat if they stop all that. So, I said to mom that since she always complained and doctors often misdiagnosed her she could give it a try and see for her. My mom had to take medicines for depression for 20 years until recently when a doctor told her she didn't need them. But I always knew my mother didn't have a depression, she had depressive times only. The only problem is while I am very open to new things and like to learn, others in my family are set in their old ways and they won't like to question much.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've never had an issue this side of the pond. If I'm out I drink Bulmers Cider. Sometimes draft and sometimes bottled. The draft cider lines are for Cider only.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior?  the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I am out, if I decide to drink, I usually order a cider brand that I know is gluten free.    what I’ve noticed is that a couple times when I got a draft cider, I got symptoms of being  glutened that night and the day after. This doesn’t seem to happen with all times I drink cider. I had a draft at a very clean brewery and I didn’t react from that, which is what made me start to wonder. Does anyone know if this is a possible source of getting glutened? I am like 99% sure that this is the cause and I think I’ll switch to bottle/can only from here on out, but would be interested if others experienced the same thing (or work in a bar and know how this works). Thanks!

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Mykidzz3 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am at struggling finding gluten-free food for my 17-year-old daughter who has celiac disease. she finds things that she thinks she would like she takes a bite and ends up in the trash gluten-free food happens to be very expensive. I collect Foodstamps and I contacted the county to see if I could get extra Foodstamps due to her, so the ex disease, considering the food cost more. I am running out of options. Most stores don’t carry gluten-free stuff and we spend majority of our time looking at the ingredients and get frustrated because everybody’s looking at us, wondering what we’re doing and what we’re looking for so I’m struggling as a mom to find the best options for my daughter that she would like, and I didn’t know that he could also affect her mental health she does get a check up every six months, but our biggest thing is getting her on a good vitamin one that the doctor can call in because we have insurance and just trying to find food that she could eat and not waste we waste almost $200 a month and just gluten-free food that she just throws in the trash or that to sit on the shelf and go to wasteso if you have any ideas, please feel free to contact me with any ideas

      Gluten Allergy

      By MMeade · Posted

      Hello, I am new to your forum. I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies including gluten, 20 years ago. I do not have celiac disease. I have been gluten free for over 15 years. My symptoms seem to be very different than others and my doctors have always been skeptical about my condition. When I would accidentally eat gluten, the inflammation would cause my GI system to stop- i.e severe constipation. This eventuality led to diverticulitis which, due to numerous factors, led to abscesses and removal of my sigmoid colon 3 years ago.  Biopsies were done and confirmed that I do not have celiac disease. I do have other autoimmune diseases- Hashimotos hypothyroiditis.  I remain gluten free for fear of damaging the remaining colon I have left. My question to this group is- am I alone in this odd scenario? Does anyone else have this condition? When I lived in Seattle, many naturopaths understood my symptoms and condition but after moving to Kentucky, I can find no one that seems to understand or even believe my condition exists. I sometimes feel like maybe I could eat gluten again because it is so hard to avoid it in this part of the country - choices are much more limited- but again, I am fearful of injuring my remaining, colon. Any insight from others who may have experienced similar symptoms is greatly appreciated since I am feeling vey alone in my crusade to stay healthy.    As an aside, while the sigmoid colon removal left me diverticulitis/diverticulosis free, it also left me with less muscle control, so I now take magnesium supplements (oxygenated magnesium oxides) to  maintain regular bowel function and avoid constipation. Thank you- I appreciate the kindness and support this group brings to people.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.
