Soaps

[Guest JlazyH]

Hi All, This might be rather dumb, but are there any soaps for washing cloths,hands,hair etc. that I need to stay away from. Wouldn't think there is anything that will harm me but I need to ask. I can't find a site that addresses this question.

How is everyones weekend going so far?

Yep, products such as shampoo, soaps, etc all should be checked. They have a high chance of getting into your mouth.

Soaps for example: you wash your hands with gluten containing soap....then prepare your food...well now your food has gluten.

There are just so many avenues that need to be crossed out.

Dove will clearly indicate gluten on the label.They will say wheat,rye, barley, oats if it contains any. I use their bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc..

SoftSoap(liquid soap) is gluten free

Purell hand sanitizer is gluten free

Arm&Hammer products are gluten free

Seventh Generation products are gluten free.

These are just a few off the top of my head. If you need more I can look more up.

If you do not have the Delphi product list already you should get it. It is 79 pages long and has foods and products on it. It does not have everything but it is a very good list and will be very helpful. If you go to the product section of this site there is a thread on it. celiac3270 gives instructions on how to get it yourself or he can send it to you.
