Came across this today while searching for some stuff. Berneses, I remember we talked about their new body products. Did you ever get any feedback from them on the products? I'll try to follow-up with them if someone doesn't beat me to it. Huh ??? :huh:

All Giovanni body care products are formulated from a wheat

protein base, consisting of only the most carefully selected

ingredients. They contain no animal proteins, no animal byproducts,

no artificial colour or fragrances. All products contain

non-PABA sunscreen, are environmentally safe and are in every

way cruelty-free. And they smell incredible!

I know this is an old thread but wanted to add this as of April, 2008. I love the 50/50 shampoo and conditioner and the fiber waxes.

all Giovanni products are gluten free. Giovanni Golden Wheat Shampoo is

only named golden wheat, but this product has no gluten. Giovanni

I contacted the company and they told me that their products do not contain gluten, even the shampoo called "golden wheat" ... that is just a name :rolleyes:

not sure I believe.

They were also in a study about which organic products actually contained hidden chemicals. Giovanni was one of them that did. Other products like Aubrey were rated better, not containing hidden chemicals like dioxin etc.

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
