Bath And Body Works And Wet Ones

I am wondering about Bath and Body Works Antibacterial Hand soaps and some lotions. Does anyone know if Bath and Body Works is generally gluten-free?

Also, does anyone know about Wet Ones hand wipes?

I think my daughter is getting some hidden gluten from somewhere because although she is still doing so much better than she was pre-gluten-free diet, she is still having gross stools and her tummy is looking a little distended still. She hasn't complained of it hurting though.

These are products she uses daily so I was wondering if she could be getting some trace amounts in her system.

Thanks so much!

Shannon-

How long has your daughter been gluten-free?

I can't specifically speak to the antibacterial washes...but I stopped using all bath and body works products, simply because most of their stuff contains oats--the body washes definitely do. Some products you might try instead, if you end up switching, are California Baby--all natural, chemical free lotions, washes and sunscreens for sensitive adults and babies/kids. Their stuff is great and it is all gluten-free ! They have bubble baths too... Ck them out here: Open Original Shared Link

I tried to ck on the wet ones for you...but can't figure out who makes them. I would probably call the manufacturer on that one. Good luck!

Hi!

i talked to a really nice guy on the phone last week about my Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap (flavor: Kitchen Spice). he said "they are formulated to be gluten-free". I had been using some antibacterial lotion in the kitchen as well and when i asked about it, he said that it had wheat germ oil in it. i felt so ridiculous. it said it right on the front of the bottle! :( (it was white tea and something, i can't remember -- i threw it out.) i have some other things to call about as well; i'll post when i get some answers.

good luck.

Laurel.

Thanks for your replies. I couldn't find 1-800 numbers for either product, so I was just hoping someone would know.

Ella has been gluten-free for a little over a month. She is SO much better for the most part, but I just wonder if she's still getting a little of something because her stools are still really gross and her tummy still looks a little distended at times. I am not sure if she is just always going to be like that or what. Her stools are very mushy and there is undigested food in them. They look like pudding in consistency. Is that normal? I guess I don't even know anymore.

Anyway, thank you for your help!

The Bath & Body products I had checked on before were not gluten free. Some may be though...only talked to them about some products.

Do any of the ingredients on the labels look suspicious? I think if they contain gluten it could be causing her problems still...especially being a baby...I'm sure she puts her hands in her mouth often. My lotion had wheat germ oil in it and I was getting really sick until I figured out what it was.

I will give my vote for California Baby. I use the super sensitive stuff and its free of everything bad. :)

I am new to the gluten free lifestyle and I received the kitchen lemon hand soap for Christmas.  It does not have wheat germ oil or oats listed in the ingredients but I'm going to call to make sure.  Their number is 1-800-395-1001 if you would like to call.

Sorry. Counted wrong - 8 years old. Bath and Body Works are constantly changing products and formulations.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By trents · Posted

      Be aware that putting your child on a gluten free diet ahead of an official celiac diagnosis will invalidate any attempt to arrive at an official diagnosis. If at some point in time after commencing a gluten free diet you wish to have your child tested for celiac disease, he/she would need to go back to eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months leading up to the testing date. And it is often the case that once gluten has been withdrawn for a significant amount of time, the reactions are much stronger when going back on it.

      CVS (Cyclic vomiting syndrome)

      By Marky0320 · Posted

      I'm investigating the possibility of having celiac disease. My kid has Coffins Lowery syndrome, a rare form of Austism, and constantly has these CVS episodes. We suspect it could be related to Gluten sensitivity or celiac. We just started the diet last week, and we'll keep an eye on any improvements.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      @Scott Adams thank you again!  You definitely 100% get it!!  It's so helpful to know that what I'm going through is normal and part of the process. My endoscopy just got scheduled for June 10 (I'm going to be traveling or else they could have gotten me in earlier) so I have 2 more weeks of eating gluten.  I'm assuming I should just go to the endoscopy and start going gluten free as soon as it's done?  Or should I wait for the biopsy to come back just in case they have to repeat something?

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NightRaven92! The symptoms you describe definitely align with celiac disease or at least NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). That, and the family history of celiac disease, certainly warrant being tested for it. The first stage of diagnosis involves blood tests looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. If the blood antibody testing is positive, there is usually a second level diagnostic procedure for confirmation involving an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining, looking for the damage caused by celiac disease. So, when you go to your appointment, I would suggest approaching your doctor this way to simplify the experience: 1. For six weeks I have been experiencing stomach cramps, diarrhea, feverishness, headaches and joint pain when I consume wheat products. 2. I have relatives with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroid disease. 3. I would like to be tested for celiac disease. Would you be willing to order the TTG-IGA antibody test and a total IGA test? TTG-IGA stands for "Tissue Transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A". Total IGA is also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test" (Note: the TTG-IGA is the "centerpiece" of celiac antibody testing. There are others but this one is the most important and the most popular one with physicians. But is also very important to have total IGA checked since if you are IGA deficient, it will produce artificially lower TTG-IGA scores and possible false negatives for this one and other IGA antibody tests as well.) It's very important that you not begin cutting back on gluten consumption before the antibody test blood draw.

      I am wondering if my symptoms are Celiac Disease related..

      By NightRaven92 · Posted

      Hey so on June 18th next month,I made an appointment next month with my doctor,because I think what could be causing my symptoms,is related to Celiac Disease. Here is my symptoms & stuff..so anyway autoimmune disease runs on my mom's side of the family. My grandma has an autoimmune disease related to her thyroid,& my aunt has Celiac Disease. I have been having my symptoms for almost 6 weeks now,from what I have noticed anyway. My symptoms are:Stomach pain/cramping,chronic diarrhea,I will feel feverish out of nowhere,I get alot of headaches & pain in my joints,& I noticed that literally after I consume anything with gluten in it,I will get nausea,sick to my stomach,pain in my abdomen & around my stomach,& not to mention the diarrhea that can often come out as very painful afterwards,if I consume gluten foods. I have not felt well in what feels like forever & that's of course why I made a dr appointment. Anyway I could really use some advice on this & how I could maybe bring my symptoms up with my dr without confusing her too much..thanks in advance..
