Does anyone know? I use Johnson's baby shampoo and Gerber Grins and Giggles, as well as Baby Magic baby wash. Also I use cover girl loose powder on my face and Ella plays with the brosh and puts it on her face...is that ok???

For some reason I never thought of all this stuff!

We use Banana Boat Baby Magic Sunscreen....anyone know about that?

Thanks so much...this almost seems more overwhelming the more I know!

Also, what about infants and/or childrens Tylenol and Motrin? I just tried to call them and their offices are closed.

Thanks so much!

I haven't cked these myself, but here is info from some pretty reliable sites:

Go here and scroll down to Shampoos..you'll see Johnson's baby shampoo is listed as gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link

Go here, its lists gluten-free baby products--might find something else you use: Open Original Shared Link

Kaiti once posted that banana boat sunscreens are gluten-free... Is that true for the baby magic?

Also, this is probably a bit more than Johnson's...but some products I've found and LOVE, is california baby. (www.californiababy.com) All their products are gluten-free/cf and they have bubble bath, body washes, sunscreens, lotions etc--and it is for babies and sensitive adults. Great products, free of most chemicals too.

Hang in there--you will figure it all out in time!

Thanks so much for the links. Those will be very helpful. I am also wondering about Cover Girl and Revlon cosmetics. Does anyone know about these? I use the loose cover girl powder and my daughter loves to pretend putting it on the the make-up brush. I hope she's not getting gluten all over her face!

Thanks again,

Shannon

Shannon-

I don't know about the makeup off the top of my head...you will probably need to call on those, unless someone here knows for sure. My experience with my makeup was that the responses from the "mainline" companies were always somewhat cryptic, and often did not satisfy my fears of contamination. I actually choose to get rid of my makeup and switch to another brand. ...And that was hard b/c I had a TON of makeup! You may not wish to do the same, but either way I'll recommend Bare Escentuals makeup to you. You can purchase at sephora.com or on QVC. Quite a few of us use the brand here--all their makeup is gluten-free. I especially like their loose powder b/c it is made from cornstarch, and not talc...which I stay away from. If you are interested, their powder is called "Mineral Veil". I highly recommend it.

Thanks to everyone who posted. Here is what Cover Girl had to say when I asked if their products contain gluten, specifically the loose powder:

Subject

---------------------------------------------------------------

I need to know if this product contains any form of gluten. It would also be nice to know if any of your products contain gluten.

Thanks for contacting CoverGirl, Shannon.

We know Celiac is a serious disease, so we want to give you clear information

regarding the use of our beauty care products. If wheat and/or gluten aren't

directly added to a product by us, these ingredients won't be listed on our

packages. Like many companies, we often purchase the scents for fragranced

products from outside suppliers, and the components of these substances are

proprietary information belonging to those companies. Therefore it's possible

that a very small amount (generally parts per million) of gluten may be present.

We sought advice from physicians; they told us it would be very unlikely a

person with Celiac disease would have a reaction from a trace amount of gluten

coming into contact with his skin or hair. This is because wheat, rye, barley

and/or gluten generally cause symptoms when they're ingested. Since our beauty

care products are designed to be used externally on the skin, their use

shouldn't be an issue for someone with this disease.

Since gluten sensitivity can vary among people, it would be best if you

consulted with your physician about the use of all types of consumable goods, if

you haven't already. You might even consider using one of our fragrance free

products that doesn't list gluten or wheat extracts on the label.

I hope this response has been helpful to you. For more information about

Celiac, you may want to check out Open Original Shared Link and Open Original Shared Link

Just wanted to pass that along!

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
