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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
