Barley In My Deodorant?!

I'm new to getting rid of gluten. I've been hopefully gluten-free for 3 weeks now. :rolleyes: However in addition to discovering that my hairspray has wheat and hydrolyzed wheat protein in it, now I see my deodorant has barley in it! :blink:

Are there any generally safe soap/shampoo lines and cosmetic lines?

Well the hairspray I would switch because that you could definately ingest because of the spray, but if you're deoderant is roll on I wouldn't really worry about it. Maybe others will have a different opinion but I've never licked my deoderant.

I get reactions just touching gluten (yeah even if I don't eat it) so all my personal care stuff is gluten free.

Dove is pretty good about disclosing ingredients, and I haven't found anything of theirs with gluten yet (but you should always read it every time you buy it) they make shampoo, conditioner and deoderant.

As far as hairspray, I use White Rain, but I don't know about other brands' gluten status. You would have to just read.

I was getting acne on my scalp until I realized I was using a shampoo with wheat in it. I have the Delphi list. Their list of safe health and beauty stuff is too big to copy and post. Here's how to get it.

1) Go to the website, Open Original Shared Link

2) Click on "messages" or "start reading"

3) Select the folder "gluten-free Product List"

4) Click on the topic called "Downloadable files word"

5) Of the four options, choose the one in the upper right.

You may need to register (the basic version is free) in which case, just register first, then complete the steps above.

I use the dove deodorant, and all their hair products. when i was playing soccer, i would always have the hairspray for my team because i knew what i could use, and i would always use Dove extra hold, that is also what we used in the dressing room at theatre when i was little.

DOVE all the way!

Thank you very much for your suggestions! Looks like Dove is the way to go. I already use Dove shampoo and conditioner and like it. I'm going to switch to their hairspray and deodorant also.

Thanks Girl Ninja for the link to the gluten-free file! that sounds great.

I'll add my support for Dove too! I'd be lost without their foaming face wash. It's so good to my skin!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
