So I email my shampoo company and it is the best product.....I love it. I use the John Frieda brillian burnette and it does amazing things for my hair :) .

But here is what they said............

Dear Amanda:

We appreciate your interest in our John Frieda products.

We cannot guarantee that any of our products are always gluten free. Our vendors can change the source for each ingredient at any time due to market conditions.

Cordially,

Kao Brands Consumer Relations Department

Ban Biore Curel Jergens John Frieda

I am so upset......I dont know what to do. I dont know if I have an allergic raction to shampoo or not. how do I find out?

I used to use that too, until they said the same thing to me. I wont use it anymore. I just replaced it with Fructis, i like it a lot more, and its half the price.

I stopped using that brand because it said wheat on the ingredients. I use dove and really like it.

I'd just write a note back telling them that, given that they have little regard for keeping abreast of the ingredients in their products, and for the lack of interest in the the health of their consumers, that you will no longer be using their products. In addition, you will be posting their response on the Celiac forum so that other gluten-intolerant patients will know of their apathy, and you will also encourage your friends to discontinue purchasing their products. At least you might get their attention.

GREAT suggestion.

I def. think that I am going to do that, but how do I find out if I have a problem with having gluten in my shampoo. Are there any symptoms that anyone else experiences?

thank you

I just found out I have the same problem. I just read my shampoo bottle and it has wheat in it. I dont know what to do. I really cant use the stuff you buy in supermarkets.. makes my hair fall out. The stuff I use now is 30.00 a bottle. I have the shampoo and conditioner. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to know. Oh and the brand of shampoo I use is Frederic Fekkai, so if anyone is using it... check your ingredients.

I use products from The Gluten Free Savonnerie (www.gfsoap.com). I was getting sick from my hair gel that contained wheat. My hair had gotten very dry and had begun to fall out--(I was getting lots of it between my fingers every day in the shower). I'm sure a lot of that was due to my being sick. I like that the shampoo and conditioner I use now are even made in a gluten-free facility, so I don't have to worry about it. Added bonus--my hair is healthy and shiny, and it has stopped falling out.

I'm with you, going through my shampoo changes now. I love Pureology products, some do have wheat you will just have to read the ingredients but the products are great. That's what I am switching to.it is about $17.00 a bottle but it's good stuff!

Good luck!

Thanks to both of you. Maybe that is my problem, my sickness is making my hair fall out and such. I have sooo much hair its hard to tell how much is falling out sometimes. I will look for both brands of shampoos and give them a try. Anything if it helps me feel better!

Thanks again!

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      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...

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      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. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
