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

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
