My husband is not GF, so there is gluten in our house. It is way too expensive for our house to be completely GF. I have RSD and many other issues, I cannot prepare meals very well. He can only use one hand/arm, so he doesn't cook either. We are VERY careful not to cross contaminate, his food is separate from mine, I have a separate toaster, colanders, etc.

As far as bath and beauty products go, I have searched online and found a lot of info. There are some lists online that lists names of ingredients that you need to also look for...I will look for those for you. The Body Shop has a GF list that they will email you if you request it. If there is not a store near you, they do have a website. The shampoo I use is DermOrganic, it is labeled as GF. You can find it online or at Ulta. I found a huge bottle of it at TJMaxx for $19.99 and the first bottle I bought at Ulta was $18.99 for 1/3 the size! If you are near a Whole Foods, they have a lot of GF products in their cosmetic dept - lotions, creams, shampoos, hair styling products and the staff there is so helpful! I use either Peter Rabbit or California Baby body lotions (baby lotions) because they are more gentle and I am also allergic to shea, as well as some other ingredients. I find them at Whole Foods and Target.

I do not wear make up any longer, too hard to apply with RSD in my hands. It amazes me that gluten can be in everything though!!
Wow, Nanc!

You sure have a tough row to hoe...my heart goes out for you. What is RSD?
I have a lot of sensitivites - chemicals, metals, band-aid sticky - even (now don't laugh at this....) the thread-like stitches they use to sew you up after surgery!!! My early surgical scars are WIDE! I have to have staples. Completely screwed up my Breast Lift!

I'll be near Mom's Organic Market (MOM's) in a couple weeks. I'm kinda stuck in the boondocks here - not a whole lot of the specialty places nearby. Also I don't have a car, and public transportation here is lousy. I'll be sure and check out all their B & B stuff. Glad I'll be there right after I get my disability check! GF ain't cheap....

After doing some reading here, I realize I have to get new pots and pans, too!! I often wonder if I have been exposed unknowingly, because I'll have "effects". I've probably been poisoning myself every time I cook! I just bought a new cutting board, so...

Thanks so much for all of you help!!!
