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.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
