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.

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!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease.

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.
