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. :)

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
