Hi everyone my name is Jessica, I'm new to this site & I recently found out I had Celiac Disease this year & I'm having a hard time finding products that are gluten-free & mostly natural/organic. Most of the products I've found (curtesy of this site & others) I have to order off the Internet or make my own but I can't do that because I don't have the funds to order much off the Internet or to get ingredients to make my own stuff right now so I need to be able to get most of my products from stores. So does anyone know of any products that might be in stores like Wal-mart, Target, Drug Stores, Brookshire's, Walgreens or any stores like that?

What I need:

Shampoos, Conditioners, Hairspray (White Rain?)

Deoderant (spray on & roll on only please.)

Laundry detergent & Fabric softener (sheets for fabric softener only please.)

Dishwashing liquid (Joy, Dawn, Palmolive?)

Cosmetics (I only wear: lip gloss/lip balm/lip stain, perfume, nail polish & nail polish remover)

Lotion (Palmer's, Jergen's?)

Body wash (White Rain, SoftSoap?)

Hand Soap (Bar or liquid. SoftSoap?)

Hand Sanitizer

Toothepaste (Aim, Close Up, Colgate, Crest?)

Mouthwash

Facial cleansers/moisturizers (Noxema?)

Bathroom & kitchen cleaners

Also unrelated to this topic but does anyone use Sugar In The Raw?

Sorry if I am asking too much. Please and Thank You in advance.

Hi Jessica,

I had this exact same problem when I went Gluten-free six months ago as my doctor recommended I look at all the products I use. I also wanted organic/natural products. So I have a few suggestions for you:

Shampoos, Conditioners, Hairspray: Can't help you on hairspray, but for shampoo and conditioners, I suggest either "Avalon Organics" or the "Yes to" brand (available at Wal-Mart, Kroger's (in the Natural Foods section), etc.). "Yes to" comes in "yes to tomatoes", "cucumbers" or "carrots" depending on your hair type. Very affordable both brands.

Laundry detergent & Fabric softener (sheets for fabric softener only please.): I like "Zum" brand, but it's expensive, so I usually buy "Ecos" (I get this at my Kroger's store, Hy-Vee also carries it).

Dishwashing liquid (Joy, Dawn, Palmolive?): I use "Seventh Generation" (available at Target).

Lotion, Body wash, Hand Soap: I like "Yes to", and "Dr. Bronner's Castile" (liquid or solid). "Zum" soaps are also wonderful.

Toothepaste: I use "Crest" (it's not organic or natural, but it contains flouride and I want flouride in my toothpaste).

Facial cleansers/moisturizers: I like "Yes to" facial cleansers and moisturizers, but I currently use just unpasteurized, raw honey. (Google "Crunchy Betty" for more information). My skin looks great and no moisturizer is needed. If you wear make-up, you might look into oil-cleansing methods as well (also on "Crunchy Betty"). It works like a charm (and my skin is sensitive and likes to break out).

Bathroom & kitchen cleaners: I make my own cleaners (see "Crunchy Betty" recipes) and they work amazingly well. I also steam clean things a lot (with a Han steam cleaner).

As a general reference, "Crunchy Betty" has given me lots of ideas for how to do just about anything naturally and low fuss.

Hope this helps!

Another Question: Has anyone ever tried 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with baking soda for toothpaste & 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with water as mouthwash? I haven't done either but I've been doing some research and am curious if this is ok & if it is does it work?

Shampoos, Conditioners, Hairspray (White Rain?) - Garnier fructis has a new line. I can't remember the name. It has pure in the label. It's gluten free.

Cosmetics (I only wear: lip gloss/lip balm/lip stain, perfume, nail polish & nail polish remover) Blistex is gluten free. Burt's Bees Lip shimmers are also gluten free. They're my go to lip gloss.

Body wash (White Rain, SoftSoap?) I use Dr. Bonner's liquid soap. It's $14 for a large bottle at Target.

Toothepaste (Aim, Close Up, Colgate, Crest?) colgate and crest are both gluten-free, as is Tom's of Maine

Facial cleansers/moisturizers (Noxema?) For a mositurizer, I use regular old extra virgin olive oil. It works great. It soaks right into my skin and leave it feeling so soft.

Bathroom & kitchen cleaners Vinegar and water. It's cheap, chemical free, and cleans really well. I fill my spray bottle with 1/4 to 1/3 regular white vinegar and fill it to the top with water. It's safe to use on almost any surface.

Deoderant - Dove

Laundry detergent & Fabric softener - Purex detergent and purex crystals (sorry, I don't have sheets). You can get purex detergent super cheap! I have 7 bottles that I got for 0.97 each! They were on sale for 1.97 and I used 1.00 off coupons.

Dishwashing liquid - Palmolive. These are always on sale for under 1.00 and you can easily get 0.25 coupons.

Cosmetics - I love neutrogena's lip moisturizer with SPF 15 and urban decay is awesome. They emailed me an excel spreadsheet listing all of their gluten free items.

Lotion - I use Vaseline Aloe Fresh lotion. I called them to verify that it's gluten free and they mailed me coupons!

Body wash - I use Softsoap, dove or Johnson & Johnson baby wash (whatever is on sale).

Hand Soap - I use Softsoap. The large refill bottle (64 oz.) is always on sale for around 3.50 at Safeway.

Hand Sanitizer - I don't buy this, sorry.

I don't know the effectiveness but it will taste disgusting. I was told to rinse my mouth with hydrogen peroxide to help canker sores heal, it was so nasty tasting I gaged and nearly threw up. You might be better off with an actual toothpaste.

As for your other questions, why must you use only roll on and spray deorderants? There are a number of wheat free ones that are solids. Secret has a mineral deoderant that was gluten-free when I bought the massive BJ's pack.

If you are wanting to know about your current favorite products, you can read the labels. Although some maybe hard to find as ingredient labels are often on outside packaging that gets thrown away when you open it.

I only want spray & roll on deodorants because that's all the stores near me have & I just personally prefer roll on over others & as I said in my first post I can't order stuff online that much because I never have enough money for that I can probably order something maybe twice a year but that's it so I need stuff that I can buy in stores for low prices.

Pick a company with one you like and email them about the ingredients. See what they say.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      By trents · Posted

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
