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?

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
