I have a three year old who was recently diagnosed... which shampoos/lotions/soaps/detergents do you recommend. I'm trying to be cost conscious; it would help if I could get brands offered at Target or regular grocery stores. Any advice?

I use Dove unscented bar soap in the shower, and dr. Bronner's liquid soap in reused soft soap pumps at the sink (diluted with water). I use Cascade in the dishwasher and Dawn liquid dish soap, and Bon Ami powder scrub. To clean bathrooms I use Clorox's "green" line )can't remember the name) and baking soda as scrub.

Shampoo - lots of people use suave and I think some Pantene products. I use suave hairspray - unscented pump. I buy Organix for my son (he isn't gluten-free but I like to keep the house gluten-free). Organix makes me itch (not from gluten) for some reason, but he's fine with it.

Thanks for the reply. We're about one month into this, and I"m still navigating the gluten-free world slowly.

I've seen people mention Dove, and we happen to have a huge container of Dove conditioner that my husband bought by accident thinking it was lotion :rolleyes: so I went out and bought the shampoo to go with it.

Right now she uses Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing bar, which I'm having a hard time pinning down information about --- will have to call company I guess.

Cascade - check

Dawn - check

I don't know about our bathroom pump soaps -- will have to look into that.

Also never occurred to me to check my laundry detergent. We use cheer.

I think Cetaphil lists gluten-free on their site, and not all products are gluten-free.

I think most laundry soaps are ok. I use all free and clear liquid.

I don't know above dove shampoo or conditioner. Check the website or call?

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
