So I have always bought Biolage because it works the best for my naturally curly, course hair...just bought a new bottle of shampoo and conditioner. Today I was taking my time in the shower and thought about reading the label.........."wheat germ oil"!!!!!!! are you kidding me?? $30 down the drain!!!!! any suggestions on some good shampoo/conditioner I can get at a decent price???

Thanks!!

Hi! I switched to Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta shampoo. It is great for me--I have curly hair. Has given me more body and shine than any other shampoo. I buy it at Wild Oats usually. It isn't as cheap as "Pantene", but not as much as Biolage. Maybe $15 or so?

I use Redken and buy it on ebay. The fresh curls - good for naturally curly hair and the smooth down - helps with frizz are both gluten-free. I think those may be the only two that are ok.

I just had this same issue...

I'm trying out Giovanni...it's not bad, leaves my hair very soft. I like the smooth as silk conditioner the best of all the products i've tried so far. I got their spray in/leave in conditioner which is working good. I also got the straightening gel they have out. I am not so thrilled with this. It's too thick & gummy for my taste. And it leaves my hair frizzy.

Be careful w/ the Aubrey Organics line b/c some of their products contain wheat, so just double check everything.

Good luck and PLEASE share your results when you try something out. I too have naturally curly hair. I can wear it curly or straighten it out. I'm always searching for good products.

I like the Giovanni that Turtle uses and also ShiKai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner. Neither of those contain SLS, which I need to stay away from.

I used Redken for years (not the curl one), and too found it had wheat in it. I was really irritated because I loved my fancy salon shampoo! I switched to Dove and soon realized that you can get quality shampoo from a $4 bottle!

A lot of Pantene is gluten-free. I'm not fond of it, but it's easy to throw in the cart at Walmart.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
