Gluten Free Items

Could someone tell me a some sure-brand names of Gluten free soaps, shampoo's and toothpaste? I read on another board that all these things could have a possible gluten contamination, so I want to rule them out. (Possibly an item I can find in a regular store, or health food store; nothing online please).

Thank you!

You absolutely need a gluten-free toothpaste. Fortunately, virtually every toothpaste is gluten-free. Crest, Colgate, Arm and Hammer and on and on.

Soaps are also almost universally gluten-free. I remember of hearing of one or two that aren't, but can't remember the names. I use Dove.

I know Suave shampoos are gluten-free.

I echo Richard on Crest being gluten-free--all of their toothpastes. Pantene is gluten-free. So are Clearasil's original and Total Control lines. Go to this post to read a list of Neutrogena's gluten-free products. Open Original Shared Link

Tolietry items I make sure are gluten-free: shampoo, lipsticks, toothpaste. Oh, and Listerine is gluten-free too.

Dove products will list wheat,rye,barley,oats on the label if they contain any. I use alot of thier products

SoftSoap liquid soap is gluten free

Purrell hand sanitizer is gluten free

I use Crest and that's gluten free

Alot of listerine products are gluten free but they would not guarantee to me that all of them were. I know certain flavors are though.

You really just have to check all products because that stuff can get into your mouth pretty easily.

I use Colgate toothpaste and just started using Garnier Fructis for shampoo and conditioner because I read on here that they are gluten-free. I am going to be switching my soap to dove because I am not sure if the one I use is gluten-free :o Yes... I know that is bad.

The Pantene shampoo that is made for colored hair (to add color that is) is NOT gluten-free. It has wheat as one of the ingredients. Just an f.y.i.!! I use the other Pantene products ~ they are my favorite. :)

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      Thanks I am mostly looking for everyday staples and easy meal ideas nothing too specialty if possible.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
