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 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 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

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
