I asked a question similar to this awhile back, so I'll tell you what I came up with...

For bar soap, the consensus seemed to be Dove Soap. Only one person replied re. a bodywash and she said she'd never had any problem with Caress, so I plan on buying that next trip to the store. If anyone else knows of safe bodywashes I'm sure they'll post as well. For Shampoo/Conditioner I plan on using Aussie b/c I have thick/color-treated hair that needs some strong conditioning. Some say Aussie is not ok, but two people here have very sensitive skin and react to everything but Aussie has never been a problem for them. BUT, if you want to be super safe (and aren't as picky as me :P ), Dove and Neutrogena are good gluten-free shampoo and conditioner choices. Hope this helps!

Also the whole foods generic 365 brand of shampoo/conditioner/body lotion/shower gel is gluten-free and what I use. I been sensitive to such things for years, and they are the first to not make me want rip my skin/scalp off

I use Suave for body wash. My favorite is the one for babies it has a nice light lavender scent. They will clearly label gluten ingredients. Garneir is the brand I go to for skin care and shampoos and conditioners. They also label clearly.

Giovanni makes some nice hair products, I had to stop using them because I am allergic to soy but at that time most of the shampoos and conditioners were safe. They have come out with some skin and bath products but you would need to read the label to be sure about those as I haven't used any. Burts Bees also makes some good products although I haven't used them they seem to get recommended often.

I like Soft Soap and use it in my shower as well as at all the sinks. I also like Suave shampoo and conditioner.

I looked at the bottle this morning and it is the Suave Naturals for Kids not a baby wash like I thought. Don't want you searching the wrong aisle. It is in a white bottle.

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
