Organic Gluten-free Shampoo And Conditioner

I was just wondering about organic products. Ever since I was diagnosed with Celiac (which was a little over a year ago) I have been reading labels like crazy (obviously). I have begun to convert everything I have to organic products. The biggest issue I have run into is finding organic shampoos and conditioners which do not contain gluten. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it. (THANKS!!!) :D:D:D

Thats a great question! I don't know of any--the ones I find all have wheat as well--so I'll be looking forward to the replies.

Have you checked Burt's Bees stuff? I don't know what the ingredients are but I think their whole line is organic. You can buy it online and several of our local stores carry some or all of their products. I am happy with the stuff I do buy.

Trader Joe's has one that is, as I recall, organic and gluten-free.

Would that be the Trader Joe brand, or other?

Check out Aubrey's Organics Rosa marqueta shampoo. It was recommended by Jenvan and I love the stuff too! Beverly

I have used Collective Wellbeing's line for fine hair.....a good shampoo, but not entirely for me. I have oily hair and it was a bit too gentle - my hair would be oily by 5 or 6 pm.

Their own brand. Just check the ingredients for which ones are safe.

good question :) i'm all about the organic/all natural products. As Berneses said, I definitely recommend Aubrey Organics (fav Rosa Mosqueta shampoo). Just be sure to ck ingredients. There is also Giovanni Hair Care products--their entire line is organic and gluten-free. (Even their Golden Wheat Shampoo--it actually has no wheat in it!) They have gel, mousse, hairspray, shampoo, conditioner etc. You can buy them online or at a natural Wild Oats type grocery store. Good stuff !

Jen,

You had mentioned earlier about the California Baby products I saw some of them at Whole Foods but none of their lotions, do they carry it else where? I talked to the manager and he said that he didn't know they even had lotions but that he would look into getting some. Thanks! :)

Angela-

Sorry I missed your question until now... I am able to buy their lotions in a local natural foods store... I know they have some of their products at Whole Foods too. I have also ordered them off their website. Their lotions are here: Open Original Shared Link If you call, they are very helpful. PS--Glad you like the shampoo...I love it too :)

I saw the California Baby brand at Whole Foods but they only had the shampoo! What lotion do you like the most...I'm afraid I like cosmetic products WAY too much...I gave my sister all of my hald used products and man I was thinking "that is so much money in products" but I can't help it I love trying new things...and usually I use it all except I decided to give all of the Gluten containing items to her because I didn't want to "half way" do the Gluten Free thing it was all or nothing...and I chose to be healthy...at first my family was thinking that I was going overboard until that is I gave them this message board website and they have been 100% behind me since.

Ok off of that ramble...

The Calming lotion is my favorite--it has a fresh, light scent to it with a little lavender. I also like the super sensitive--pretty much no fragrance to that. Glad you got rid of all the bad stuff. I gave away bags of products to friends. I think I stocked my best friend's kitchen and medicine cabinet for months! It is expensive... Anywho, at least those of us who are into trying new products can get excited about that when switching out the old stuff! Also, I did switch to bare escentuals makeup...and my face wash and lotions are Juice Beauty or Boscia now--all natural, no preservatives. I get both on sephora.com or in the store. If you try any of those just make sure you ck the ingredients, I haven't used or cked all their products. The Boscia facial polishing scrub is awesome!!

I've seen the Boscia stuff in the store, is it all gluten free?

Susan-

I don't know if all their products are gluten-free. I have been checking as I go. But if you go to their website: Open Original Shared Link They list the ingredients to all their products. I've also e-mailed them in the past and they responded. The facial polish I use is: Open Original Shared Link

Angela-

I think we do too :) Go here to see a list of most of the products I use, if you're interested: Open Original Shared Link

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
