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!

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.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
