I was diagnosed in 2004.. I am very allergic to wheat. I started following my diet very reguraly and noticed I was still having some side effects..I remembered when I was with a nurse she mentioned whatching my cosmetics and perfumes...She did mention Clinique specificlly. Unfortunatley for me all I use to use was clinique... Sad very sad.So I then proceeded to check my shampoo Biolage and realized it has wheat germ oil.. And so does my massage oils.. When I stopped using these products my symptoms went away.... Amazing right... Now what shampoos does everyone use.. I found some but they are expensive and hard to find.. I need a good shampoo... HELP

Hi :)

I use (and love) ShiKai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner. I find them at either Whole Foods or Wegman's. Some of their products contain gluten, so you have to read the labels--the two I use are fine.

Good luck with finding products that you like.

I Use Neutrogena Clean shampoo and conditioner and Neutrogena body gel. Available pretty much anywhere they sell shampoo.

I used to use Alterna Caviar, but they added wheat!!!! <_< This time I'm trying Kenra. So far I like it ... it's available at salons.

i use Redken Fresh Curls. :) i used to love their All Soft, but it's got wheat in it. i had to stop using Bumble & Bumble because of the wheat in some products. but Redken works well, also Garnier Fructisse. and it smells yummy! i buy that at Wal-Mart; the Redken i get at my salon. glad that your symptoms went away!

I use Suave or Dove... Cheapest of the cheap... They are both gluten free. As always, check all ingredients first.

I use the shampoo and conditioner from www.gfsoap.com .

I'm really sensitive and will sometimes get gluten reactions to shampoos even if there are no gluten ingredients listed. A lot of Pantene is gluten-free, but my hair looks awful when I use it, although it works great for most people.

After experimenting with a lot of mainstream brands and either getting a reaction or not being happy with how my hair looks, I went back to using the ones from www.gfsoap.com. That's what works best for me.

I love Redken anything...minus the all soft of course...maybe I'm biased because that's what we sold when I worked in a salon but I love Redken

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
