Laundry Detergent

Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anybody knew what laundry detergents/fabric softners are gluten-free.

P.S. I'm new to this site, so I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Katie, and I'm from Wisconsin. I'm 18 years old. I found out I had Celiac Disease in March of 2005 (positive biopsy results). This message board has helped me a lot...everyone is so helpful and full of information. So, thanks for all the help, everyone!! :)

Hi Katie,

Welcome to the board.

I have never given laundry soap a thought. The clothes go through the rinse cycle,and you don't put them in your mouth.... I don't think it should be a concern.

For fabric softeners, I use Downy liquid or Bounce dryer sheets. Once again, I don't think it's something to worry about. Good question, though!

We use All Free and Clear. I hate to say it and I don't know quite why, but laundry detergent is an issue for us.

I also use All Free and Clear. If we use any other detergent, we all break out in hives... itchy rash... you name it. Not fun. I don't think it has anything to do with gluten though. Just very sensitive my family is!

Katie-

If you ever get to Madison, some other Wisconsinites on this website said that there is a bakery there called Sillyaks Bakery. I can't wait try it out someday !!!

Thanks Chasesparents! I'll have to try that bakery one of these days! I also want to get to Milwaukee to go to the Gluten Free Trading Company (Open Original Shared Link). Have any of you been there before?

Actually, I have not been to the Gluten Free Trading Post. BUT I will be going soon, to start saving on shipping costs, because everything I've been buying online, the Gluten Free Trading Post carrys.

katie,

I use tide free

I called proctor and gamble , they do not use gluten in any of their home or health products, I called for dish washer soap , afraid was getting gluten on my dishes.

so if you go with proctor and gamble products should be safe.

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?
