Organic Gluten-free Shampoo And Conditioner

Recommended Posts

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! :)

cornbread Explorer

My vote goes for Giovanni too. :)

Noelle126 Apprentice

I'm really liking the Burts Bees things I bought and also Jenvan thanks for the Rosa Marquetta shampoo idea...it is WONDERFUL!

jenvan Collaborator

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 :)

Noelle126 Apprentice

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!!

Noelle126 Apprentice

Jenvan-Thanks so much for all of your help...after reading a lot of your posts you seem to like a lot of things I like!

pixiegirl Enthusiast

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

Guest BERNESES

Jen- You rock! we like all the same stuff! B

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
