We've only been gluten free for about three weeks, already its made a remarkable improvement on my 2 year old. He's already started to put weight back on, thank god for that Gluten free pantry sandwich bread. Then i started wondering, after reading some posts, what about his shampoo, baby wash, etc. We use Johnsons baby wash now, the pink lotion stuff, and i have been using loreal kids shampoo for both kids. I know my son gets water in his mouth, half the time i think he drinks half the bath water, as disgusting as this sounds. I looked at the back of the bottle, but it is completely foriegn to me. Anyone know, have suggestions?

Baby Magic is good. The plain ol J&J stuff is good, but call if you have any doubts. I'm floundering in the bubble bath dept. too. Watch out for lotions too. Curel caused a major reaction in my daugher that took a while to figure out. Now using Lubriderm. Glad he's doing better!

I like the baby magic brand for soap. As far as lotion, we use Suave, it's gluten free and works pretty good.

My girls are starting to get to where we can use "real shampoo" so I am letting them use my Dove.

Ivory (last I checked) is gluten free if you are looking for a bar soap (my kids like to wrap it in a washcloth and make bubbles)

Oh, and I just started this thred here for you, and others in case you needed more info.

The last time I checked (about a year ago):

Johnson and Johnson- all the liquid soaps and shampoo were ok; also the hair detangler is ok

Baby Magic- all the liquid soaps and sunscreens

Loreal shampoos- ok

Suave for Kids Shampoo- ok

Kan-doo- all are ok

Also, I just checked all the baby wipes this week and Pampers, Huggies, and Equate (Walmart) were ok.

Most of the kid products companies, like Johnson and Johnson, are good about answering your questions.

I would recommend California Baby, too. I was using the shampoo and bodywash myself for a while! I still use the Sensitive Skin Lotion and sunscreen. Good stuff :)

we use Suave kids shampoo and Kiss My Face Olive and Aloe lotion, she likes Irish Springs bar soap and dial liquid soap... she doesn't like bubble bath so I don't have that issue.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist might also explore if there’s concurrent inflammation or autoimmune involvement (like juvenile arthritis, which sometimes overlaps with celiac). Gentle massage, Epsom salt baths (for magnesium absorption), or low-impact activities like swimming could help ease discomfort while he heals. Keep advocating for him—you’re doing an amazing job!

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.

      Welcome to the forum, @Stuartpope! With Marsh 3b damage to the villous lining of the small bowel, your son is likely deficient in a number of vitamin and minerals due to poor absorption, not just iron. B12 and all the other B vitamins are likely low. I would suggest looking into a high quality gluten-free B complex, D3, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important) and zinc. A children's multivitamin likely will not be potent enough. We commonly recommend this combo of vitamins and minerals to new celiacs as adults. Thing is, you would want to consult with a pediatrician about dosage because of his young age. In time, with the gluten-free diet his villi will rebound but he may need a kick start right now with some high potency supplements.

      Hey yall!  New Celiac mama trying to help my son! My 3 year old was just diagnosed with Marsh 3b by a biopsy. We started this journey due to him being severely anemic (ferritin levels 1.2) He has had  3 iron infusions to help with the anemia. He has also been gluten free for a month. He is still having leg/ joint pain( he described a burning/ hurting) Im trying to help with his leg pain. He has trouble playing ( spending most days on the couch) He tells me 5/6X a day that his legs are hurting. Gets worse when walking or  playing. We have done OTC pain meds/ heating pad/ warm baths. What else can I do to help him be a kid.     Thanks for the help
