NoGluGirl--wow, and I thought mine was bad taking over 12 hours to dry :o ! My bosses wife has very curly hair and she uses regular conditioner on it too keep it manageable, she just rubs some in after shampooing. I do know that Garnier Fruitis does have a "leave in" conditioner and it is gluten free, I just prefer Pantene. Avon used to make a great "leave in" conditioner, but I do not know if they still have it. Here is a site to check out, you can always click on one, find the company email addy and ask if it's gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link . I do know that Pantene is the one conditioner that makes my hair manageable.

How can you tell if your shampoo/conditioner/body wash/body lotion has gluten in it? I have checked the ingredients on all and nothing says wheat or oatmeal or any other grain. It just looks like a long list of chemicals.

Oh my goodness while reading this I just realized that I ate spare ribs last night that were prepackaged and had BBQ sauce on them. I looked at the ingredients and didn't find anything that jumped out at me, but if most BBQ sauces have Gluten then I'm in trouble. The other thing I forgot is that I have been putting sugar in my coffee (I usually don't drink coffee, but that's another story lol) Well the sugar I used is in a container which my hubby dips his donuts in and there are little pieces of donuts in it. I've never cared before and it didn't even dawn on me that I was cross contaminating UG. It's a good think I only used the sugar once, but that may explain my down time last week :-(!!

The thing that has surprised me so far (if I read the label right) would be Slim Jim's!! I thought they were just dried meat like beef jerky but they must have lots of flavoring in them.

Dear Deb,

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Yep, my hair takes a while. I also get into disputes with it! Sometimes it gets to my food before I do! It really is scary, it eats stuff! Detangler is something that is sort of hard to get that you know is gluten free. I heard VO5 makes one. I am going to check out all of my products on the site.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Angel42--it may be clanthompson.com that has an ingredient list to watch out for, I can't remember where I found the list. Very often on shampoo, lotions, etc, the ingredient will be listed as such: on VO5 it says, glycine soia (soybean), or wheat will be mentioned, as in Tressemme shampoo, it is listed on the ingredient. I also do not use anything with oatmeal listed on it, they all make me itch. clanthompson.com does have a list of gluten free items, it's not an extensive list, but it's a start.

I use a lot of Softsoap items, for hands and their bodywashes, most are gluten free. I use Pantene for my hair and I have found many lotions with no gluten in them. Most of the Bath & Body Works products I have looked at are gluten free, yet sometimes their scents set off my allergies. The hardest for me to figure out are medications, mostly because they are not regulated the same as foods. Many times you can't be sure what their starches are made of. Any time you are in question, then call the toll free number of the product and ask, if the answer seems questionable, then avoid their products.

NoGluGirl--you are very welcome!

Just wanted to add and check with y'all too ... I was having "D" every morning and finally have stopped that ...

Thanks Marcia

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
