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!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
