Gluten Free Toothpaste And Other Self Care Products?

My 16 month old is gluten intolerant. She was doing so well for a while but for the last month or so has been having issues again. I am revisiting everything I feed her, and everything I put ON her as well just to make sure she is not exposed. I am trying to eradicate it from the house. I feel like I am at war with my house and its contents. In the process of figuring out my daughter is gluten intolerant I have figured out I am too. So what better time to get the house 'clean'. What mainstream baby products are gluten free? What mainstream toothpaste, hairspray, lotions for adults are gluten-free? We use crest usually but I have no idea if that toothpaste is ok.

Crest is fine. Suave makes a kids combo shamoo and body wash that is wonderful, I use it myself. Dove, Suave and Garneir clearly list gluten ingredients in their lines. Do avoid any that might have oats.

All variants of Colgate and Crest are gluten-free.

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
