Soap: To Wash Or Not To Wash?

So last night I was laying in bed and starting thinking about hand soap. If I am not using lotion with gluten--what about soap? I've never heard anyone mention it before--but do you guys watch hand soap? If so, what about when you're out? My soap at home is okay, so maybe its not in very many...

I watch all things that I use. Soap is included in what I check, simply because I have such a myriad of skin allergies.

So do you take it as far as not using the soap when you are at the mall, running errands etc. ?

No, I use the soap in public restrooms. I'm more afraid of what diseases I might pick up than I am of the soap! :D I just rinse very well with the water. I also don't put anything I touch in my mouth until I am home and can wash with my own soap. After having daycare in my home for 6 years, I've learned not to put things in my mouth, and that soap is not as scary as some of the germs that are out there!

That's true. I had wondered if any took it as far as carrying their own soap or sanitizer. I probably will not worry about the soap other than in my own home. I worked for Head Start for a year--needless to say, I washed my hands all the time! (After I saw how they "washed" their hands after going to the bathroom !) I can relate :lol:

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
