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 ...

I gave up my Kettle lightly salted baked potato chips and Back to Nature rice crackers ... Wah!

I don't want to have to try these again, so has anyone else had a problem with these ...

Thanks Marcia

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
