Ladies, What Kind Of Body Wash Do You Use?


Britt26

Recommended Posts

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.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
