Ladies, What Kind Of Body Wash Do You Use?

To all of you ladies here...Just wondering what kind of bar soap and body wash (the kind you would put on a lufa) you use?

I have used my beloved Oil of Olay body wash (which I read on here may have gluten in its perfume) for years and I'm going to have to make a switch! I also use Dial soap, but I haven't checked that out yet.

What would you recommend?--(for body washes, I need something very moisturizing)

Hi there,

I do not recommend any type of Oil of Olay products--they make me break-out, I have DH, every time I used them. One of the best products i have found is Neutrogena. They have everything, bodywash, soap, facewash, lotion, and I love the t-fal shampoo and conditioner when I have sores on my head--which seems to be always. i am still recuperating from non-diagnosis of 2 years. I do know that Neutrogena is available at my fav stor--Costco--also the body oil that you put on after showering really helps if you have any outbreaks under your arms--i love it and it is the only product I use, not extremely expensive either.

Good Luck!

I use homemade soap, courtesy of my mama. Face wash, i've also used neutrogena.

Dove bar soap is one of the few ones that helps keep my skin from getting dried out. I'd love less chemical soap, but the nice organic ones are a bit too pricey for me.

Personally I use Soft Soap, both in the shower and at my sinks. It's fine for me but then I don't have DH or sensitive skin. As far as I know, it's gluten free. At least I don't see any offending ingredients...it's really difficult to understand ingredients in body washes and cosmetics or skin care products.

I also use Suave shampoo and conditioner. I've used Tresseme in the past and don't seem to have a problem with it either. I may try Garnier when I run out...

Loreal Skin Genesis is my facial moisturizer...no problem with it either but it might not be OK for everyone.

Someone on here also suggested CeraVe Moisturizing Cream or lotion, which I found at my local Wal-Mart. I'm such a fanatic hand washer that I always battle chapped hands, especially in the winter. I ditched my favorite Bath & Body Works body lotion. (sniff, sniff)

Thank you all for the tips!! I am not looking forward to parting ways with my Oil of Olay but I know it must be done :D Luckily, I use Neutrogena on my face already, so I'll take a look at their other products. Thanks again!!

I am glad that other can use Neutrogena but I just recently bought some visabely even cleanser for sensative skin. I used it once and broken bad. So I continue to look for something for my face. I use caress bodywash with no problem at all.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
