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.

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
