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.

Which one?? OH magic bottle of perfect hair elixir, just throw yourself at me from your perch on the shelf, so I will know you are THE ONE! :rolleyes:

NO WAY! Rite Aid? I will check. On their website they listed just one retailer in this town - I will make the trek if Rite Aid doesn't produce....

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'd love to try this, but I need conditioner! Do you use it alone, and is it enough? I wouldn't mind simplifying things!

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:

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.

      For the blood screening test or any other testing, make sure you continue eating gluten every day until all testing is concluded. I'm traveling right now, but hopefully someone else can provide the link on how much you need. I think it's about 4 slices of gluten bread a day.

      The early days are often tricky for the newly diagnosed.   There were times I thought I'd never feel better, but it just takes some people longer than others.   Hang on in there, and keep posting with any questions as they occur or if you need any encouragement.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Aphrodite · Posted

      Thank you, Scott, for sharing the article. I’ve been puzzled by products with gluten-free certifications that also include allergen disclosures stating the product is processed in facilities that also process wheat. It appears industry has moved on. I have little, if any, trust left in the certifications and labeling.
