I use the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner, since I can't use my favorite Aveda products anymore.

Wait!!!!!!! So did we confirm that Giovanni was definitely gluten-free? Jenvan and I were confused as we had seen two conflicting reports on websites featuring their products and I emailed the company and never heard back. Is it definitely gluten-free? If so, I will be SOOOOO psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bev--(LOVE your new picture) I called Giovanni about 2 months ago and was told their whole line of haircare was gluten-free. There are no suspicious ingred. listed on the shampoo or conditioner I've been using, and I've had no problems with them.

Julie and Turtle--I can't get on to the Giovanni website at all! I looked up the info I wanted on another shopping site.

Thanks Patti for verifying Giovanni haircare is gluten-free. This gluten-free business gets confusing sometimes :lol:

You have to be up for viewing the website, believe me, it's quite the production, and a little annoying when you are just trying to get some quick info :lol: But if you do have time to waste it is beautifully done. You just click on the logo and it directs you to another page and then it loads forever and ever.

:lol: Oh I always have time to waste, Julie....I checked out the website, yes, quite the production! I found a retailer here in town and I may try it. My hair - - - the most perplexing thing. After everything that's happened, the breakdown I went through and the shock to my body with that and increasing malnutrition, my hair has changed into a creature I don't even know any more! :huh: All crazy and gray and curly and crispity/crunch on the ends.....I hope to God it doesn't stay this way! Am always lookng for things to manage it and make it sily smooth, to no avail! Agh!!!

OMG, I would have never noticed that. I was just assuming everything was gluten-free. Thanks so much Patti for your detective work!

Edit- I just looked at all the conditioners for dry hair and they all have wheat germ oil in them, poop :(

Yes, not all aubrey products are gluten-free. If you have a question on one, just call and they'll let you know.

Bev, etc: As for Giovanni.... I believe the hair products are gluten-free. The confusion came when I read an article on their new line which is body butters, lotions. I read an article that talked about the formulas using wheat protein I believe. I never confirmed it one way or another however, as I have been using the products. I am e-mailing them right now to ck on the body butters, see if they are gluten-free. I'll let ya'll know for sure...

Just want to let everyone know that Wegman's (if you have one nearby) carries Giovanni in the Natural Marketplace section. That's where I bought mine...I love it when I find something locally--hate to have to send for my personal care stuff :D

I thought the same things about the Giovanni website...finally just looked it up on another site. HAHA!

For those of you who use Giovanni products where do you usually buy yours from??? Wasn't sure where they carry them (i.e. grocery stores? drug stores? health food stores??)

Turtle, I have seen Giovanni products at all of my health food stores, I haven't really looked in the main stream groceries or drug stores so I don't know. The website might have a store locator, if you can stand taking the time to visit it again :lol::lol:

Isn't it a hoot, it really should be up for at least an Academy Award or something :lol::lol:

My hair dresser once told me, "hair is all about the hormones", so it makes sense that your hair changed with all of your stress and health issues. Mine changed too, but even if it didn't I still think I will be spending the rest of my life searching far and wide for hair products that make me happy :lol:

Sounds like the Giovanni Smooth As Silk one might fit the bill for you, if you try it let us know how you like it.

It was a Rite Aid in Camden, Maine which is kind of a foo-foo shi-shi Rite Aid. I was pretty surprised too!!!! I know my local grocery store sells it, but it's not a chain.

That's what the ones I'm getting look like too! We must be about the same age! I love the Rosa Mosqueta shampoo too- it's got really good organic oils in it. Caution- many of these great organic products make bathtub slippery so just be careful. The RM made my hair look and smell really good!

i'm almost 39!!!!! I get it at my local health food store. The only grease is in the tub. Ooh- and at first it seems really strange because it doesn't lather the same way that chemically shampoos do. Try it- you'll like it!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the same boat Patti, I need conditioner, but would be interested to hear if it is super moisturizing enough to go without....knowing my hair though I will still need conditioner.

And Susan and Berneses, I would have never guessed your ages, I thought you both were in your early 30s.

I thought the same thing--you both look so much younger in your pictures! Bev, I was actually going to ask you if you happened to know my niece who lives in Portsmouth. She's almost 27, and you looked to be closer to her age! :D

:lol: but the pubes are so hard to tame! I am slathering things on constantly....oh and the other thing, all the new hairs that grew in? They are now about two inches long or more, and they're just sticking out all over the place. Kind of a scary phase! :blink:

I use the BEST conditioner of all - get it at Sally's, L'Oreal Nature's Therapy in a big tub, leave it on for 30 min. or so, my favorite and the tub lasts about a year!

Must run.....health food store and Home Depot! :)

WE LOVE YOU!!! AND JULIEM TOO!!!!!!

Patti- email me or PM me your niece's name. I know lots of people much younger than me :P

Aubrey makes Rosa Mosqueta conditioner too, right? I can't go without conditioning my hair.

I use Neutogena Smooth Silk (I think that's the name) serum too. It's got sweet almond oil in it and will tame those pubes. :P

Actually that word used to bother me so much (pubes) that when I spent a semester away, one of my roomies from back here cut off a lock of her curly hair, put it in an envelope with a yello post-it that said "Pubes" on it and that was enough to make me pee my pants laughing. I'm over it now; I think :ph34r:

      IBS-D vs Celiac

The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
