You could make your own. I found this recipe on one of the Delphi forums. Boil/simmer about one tablespoon of whole flax seeds in about 1/2 cup of water for about three minutes, strain the mixture. Combine equal parts of flax seed gel with aloe vera gel, store in the refrigerator. Use in place of regular hair gel. I bought the dark flax seeds. I store my gel in a Sally's bottle made for applying hair dye. This recipe does not work with ground flax seeds. You can change the proportions of the flax and aloe vera gel to change the holding power. I think more flax gel gives more hold. The flax gel also helps with shine.

Seriously ? Wow! That is cool :D

Well, not as cool at Kathy's ! but the Frizz Ease mousse has worked well for me, and now I'm using Pureology Real Curl (have to get in a salon). A lotiony styler that smells amazing! I wasn't sure how it would work at first, since I have fine hair--but it promotes great curls and doesn't weigh down my hair at all. Open Original Shared Link

When I wear my hair curly, I like Dove Anti Frizz Creme. The curls stay soft, not "crunchy" :)

If this was not a gluten free forum, I would've suggested eating your crusts. That's what my dad would say when I left my crusts behind. Apparently eating crusts gives you curly hair!

Thanks for the info...unfortunatley I had contacted PureOlogy a few months ago and was told that none of their products are gluten-free. I had this confirmed again today. I'm checking to make sure though because they always say their products contain wheat, oat, and soy protein. So I want to find out if that means they ALL contain all three proteins OR if some may just contain soy, which would be safe...I'm waiting to hear back again. I'll post when I get the answer!!! Thanks again!

Yeah, let me know what they say, b/c there aren't any gluten ingredients in the product I use. Maybe its their cya. I know some definitely have wheat etc...don't use any of those.

All of Giovanni hair products are gluten-free (even the golden wheat shampoo). I use their mousse off and on and it works pretty well with my curls.

Unfortunately, all of our products do contain wheat, oat and soy proteins.

Dear Lima,

Thank you for your quick response. Do all of the products contain wheat, oat, AND soy proteins? Or are there some products with only wheat, only oat, or only soy? I ask because if there are products that contain soy proteins, but not wheat, barley, rye, or oats, those would be "safe" to use. Thank you again for your time.

My daughter has a medical condition which requires that she only come into contact with gluten-free products. I need to know if your product Real Curl contains any gluten from wheat, barley, rye, oats, or any ingredients derived from these grains. Thank you.

I really like fructis curl cream. I called the company to confirm that it is indeed gluten free. There are a couple more fructis products for curly hair that I want to try so I'm going to call about them, and I'll let you know :)

I use frizz-ease the pump curl enhancer and that is gluten-free. Check the labels but they have a lot of gluten-free products. I also use the regular frizz ease serum for frizz control.

I contacted Garnier and their hair care products are gluten free... I've been using the curl conditioning creme and curl gel with no problems...

I use the Fructis spray gel and I can highly recommend it -- it does dry crunchy, but then you just have to gently scrunch it (maybe with a little pomade in your fingers or not) and it softens and spreads into really beautiful curls with great hold.

i use curls rocks...i have tried to contact the company and never got a response so if anyone knows if it is not ok...let me know....the ingredients appear to be ok...but who knows. <_<

I hate to say this but eating ones crusts does not curl your hair. In my gluten eating days I always ate crusts and had poker straight hair. Now, I have curly hair, the only good thing I got from Hypothyroidism.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
