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!

we use the tide that comes in the white package--no dyes, fragrances, etc.

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?

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.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
