Still learning alot in this new process and looking for some general recommendations, I live in a rural area in Michigan without alot of access to specialty shops etc, therefore most of our shopping is done locally at Wal-mart or Meijer. I am not real particular about soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc. as long as I don't leave the house smelling like a pig pen, I would be willing to use just about any cosmetic product per se

what I unfortunately do not have is too much time to research every darn thing out there, so was hoping you all can help

#1 type of safe shampoo

#2 have crest toothpaste, appears OK, hoping it is gluten free

#3 hand soap for the house and bathrooms

#4 shaving cream for my face( checked with gillette, it appears OK) but can't guarantee no gluten as they do not test for it

#5 recommendations for a line of makeup/lipstick for my wife, she is not too particular(thank god)

#6 hairspray for my wife, she sprays it, I am sure I inhale some it, thankfully I'm bald so not an issue for me

#7 general type of body soap

#8 deoderant, not that I am eating it, but with CC, just want to be safe

keep in mind I would have to get most at Walmart or Meijer, I am not picky, so whatever is safe I will use

thanks as always, would love any more input if there is something I am forgetting

#1 type of safe shampoo

Suave, Dove and Garneir will all clearly label gluten ingredients. I use Garneir for all skin and hair care most of the time.

#2 have crest toothpaste, appears OK, hoping it is gluten free

As far as I know Crest is safe, I use Tom's of Maine though so I can't be positive.

#3 hand soap for the house and bathrooms

I use Softsoap most of the time.

For dish detergent I use Palmolive

Can't answer with the rest of the stuff but hopefully someone else will chime in with ideas.

Burt's Bees lipstick, gloss. Available lots of places. I use MyChelle skin care - order it online or buy it at Whole Foods.

I use (and so does hubby) Dove unscented deodorant. I think it's a "chic stick" but he doesn't care since it's unscented.

Dove body soap is also safe.

We use Suave hairspray and so far so good.

#1 type of safe shampoo - I use Suave shampoo and conditioner

#2 have crest toothpaste, appears OK, hoping it is gluten free - I use Colgate Total but Crest should be fine

#3 hand soap for the house and bathrooms - I like Soft Soap at my sinks and in the shower

#5 recommendations for a line of makeup/lipstick for my wife, she is not too particular(thank god) - I found some Neutrogena lipstick that appears OK but I don't wear much lipstick. I like Blistex Lip Balm (in the blue-green tube) or Neosporin Lip Health. I actually prefer the Blistex. I also use Garnier moisturizer, a Revlon foundation and eye shadow, Cover Girl powder and blush, Mabelline mascara. These are the most difficult products to check. I should add that I don't have the skin problems some people have with celiac.

#7 general type of body soap - again Soft Soap in my shower

#8 deoderant, not that I am eating it, but with CC, just want to be safe - I use Mitchum roll-on

Hand cream/lotion - I have CeraVe (also from Wal-Mart)

I like Dawn dish detergent.

I hear you on easy-to-find products from Wally World...I hate to shop, am not a product snob and I hate to pay a fortune for personal care products

#1 type of safe shampoo I use ShiKai, which I get at my local drugstore (Bartell's), but I have long hair and it may well require more maintenance than yours :) (though my husband likes it too... of course, he also has long hair)

#2 have crest toothpaste, appears OK, hoping it is gluten free Crest is fine, I use that or Tom's of Maine, back when they had a liquid toothpaste

#3 hand soap for the house and bathrooms most of the time, I just use dish soap, and you can just refill soap dispensers with diluted dishsoap if you like (palmolive really is gentle on the hands :) ), but I also have SoftSoap in one bathroom, and Ballard Organics in another (it's a local brand, so unless you're in the greater Seattle area, you probably won't find it as easily :) )

#4 shaving cream for my face( checked with gillette, it appears OK) but can't guarantee no gluten as they do not test for it no help on this one - though I do shave my legs, I use an electric razor

#5 recommendations for a line of makeup/lipstick for my wife, she is not too particular(thank god) ironically, I'm even less help here than with the shaving cream; I haven't ever worn makeup

#6 hairspray for my wife, she sprays it, I am sure I inhale some it, thankfully I'm bald so not an issue for me ditto to the lack of help above; I've never used it

#7 general type of body soap I use either a generic castille soap or Dove (sensitive skin)

#8 deoderant, not that I am eating it, but with CC, just want to be safe I use the crystal; you can get it in a lot of places these days, it lasts forever, has no smells, and no absorbed chemicals - fair warning, however, it is NOT an antipersperant, it works by creating a physical layer that blocks the growth of bacteria that feed off sweat and skin and produce the foul smell of BO, so you'll sweat, but (really) you won't smell

#1 I use Giovanni organics and some Shikai shampoos/conditioners are also safe. You can get these at Meijer.

#2 Crest is safe. I also use Colgate sometimes.

#3 Softsoap, Method

#4 Gillette is probably ok if they say there's no gluten in it but don't test. Most companies don't test for gluten, so they're just saying that for legal reasons.

#5 I use L'oreal Coloriche and Lancome L'absolu rouge lipsticks, Burts Bees lip shimmers

#6 Giovanni should be ok here too...see #1 :)

#7 Lever2000 is safe

#8 I use Herbal Clear and it looks ok to me.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
