Hello ,

I while back I posted that I was having trouble with bowel movements again and didn't know why. The first three weeks into being gluten-free for the first time in my adult life that I can remember I went to the bathroom "normal". Then all of a sudden back to many small, constipated, floating, bowel. So what was up with that???What was I doing wrong? For one thing I was sharing items like peanut butter and butter with other family members. Now my son and I have are own and no more sharing utensils.

Well some very smart people on this forum said I need to look outside the "norm".

Here is a list of things that I found containg wheat. Perhaps other people reading this post will list their unusual finds.

1. Redken-All Soft Shampoo

2. Sauve- Sleek Conditioner

Hi,

Thanks for the input!!

I hope people reply to this topic. I intend to print out the page and keep it as a reference.

This way when I go shopping it will quicken my day. Right now it takes me a long time to shop reading all the labels. It gets costlly too when you have to throw away something that you missed reading.

I know that products are changing all the time but I still think that knowing ahead of time will make the job of shopping easier.

Eucerin Calming Creme lotion has oatmeal in it. This is a pretty obvious one though as it says it right on the bottle! :)

Aussie brand volumizing shampoo and conditioner both have wheat germ and hops in them, but the MEGA shampoo and conditioner are safe.

I would very much like to have your list of the good stuff. To copy it to the board, I would try the simple "select" "copy" "paste" routine. If you will send me the URL to the site that has the PDF format, I'll take a look at it and see if I can copy and paste it to this forum.

Dear Michelle,

O NO !!!!

I had no idea about the juice :angry::angry:

I have beed drinking it!!!

And my mom just bought my son a six pack of it :o

That's why I think this post is going to be helpful to us newbies. I hope more people put in some input. Especially on those obscure items we use every day, like tums and lip balm. It is something your not expecting to find wheat in.

I have to learn to be a better detective :ph34r: And us newbies rely on your experience to help with that.

Thanks so much for all the post.

St. Ives Collagen & Elastin lotion has wheat germ oil :( I'm in the process of going through my makeup. Kaiti mentioned that not Clinique products are gluten-free and recommended Bare Escentuals. They're a bit pricey--anyone know of a cheaper foundation that's gluten-free?

Just when you think you have it figured out-you dont. Heres one I have not seen anyone list. How many of you have pets or raise your own beef, pork & chicken?? I could not figure out why I was getting sick again. Well duh!!! I was feeding the animals COB (corn, oats, & barley), the dog food has lots of wheat and finally as I walk out the door every morning I give the dogs "treats" all of which has wheat.

I no longer feed the cob, to much airborne , so hubbie does that. I still feed the dogs, but wash my hands immedeitly.

This is a great topic.

Thanks Susan

On a related side-note... I was trying to find a new body wash at Meijer and started to get ticked off at knowing which was really okay. So I randomly found the California Baby products online--anyone heard of them? They are all natural lotions, body washes, extra gentle. They told me their entire line is gluten-free/cf...so I ordered a lotion and a body wash. The body is nice b/c you can also use it as a shampoo too--which is great for trips, one less bottle means more room for food :)

But remember this is just the ones that have had stuff added to them. The pure premium line that has no additives is okay.

Jen,

I got the California Baby Body Wash/Shampoo for my daughter but now our whole family is using it. :lol: I just ordered the lotion and I can't wait to try it. I love the fact that they list that it's gluten-free on the bottle. My child also has soy issues and I was glad that it's soy free as well! :)

I have about 25 varieties of Bath and Body Works' lotions, creme, washes.... I just read those I have here a few days ago (most of my stuff is in storage in preperation for a move in three weeks), and everyone has had oats in it. Here I am six months later overlooking something I use everyday! UGH

I love California Baby products I get them at our local health food store and have been using them for a couple of years! Very mild.

The only juice of theirs that is gluten free is the Pure Premium with no additives.

Dear Megan,

I just read your post. Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite products.

I have not been using any of their lotions for a while because I am skeptical of everything. I have however been using body sprays. I guess I better even check them in case.

Thanks for the input.

I particularly like their sunblock. It's a physical block using micromilled zinc oxide, so it reflects sunlight off the top of the skin, rather than chemically absorbing it in the very top layers of your skin. It also doesn't smell like most sunblocks!

Who knew about Tropicana juice?! I had NO IDEA..but it certainly clears up a few bacon/egg breakfasts out that ended in disaster!

Thank you so much, this one in particular really makes a difference to me.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
