Bacon/fake Nails/hair Color-glutened?

[PeaceAngel22]

Today I am feeling like crap. Head fog, back pain, dizziness, and feeling achy. Yesterday I decided to go to a salon and get a weave since I hadn't had my hair done in 8 months. Because I was feeling good, I also decided to get some fake glue on nails and put them on. Then, on the way home I picked up a few groceries including ready to eat bacon. Do any of you know if a weave, fake nails, or ready to eat bacon are known to cause glutening? Thanks everyone!!

I have no experience with hair weaving and not sure whether that could cause a reaction. Perrhaps the shampoo or other product at the salon may have wheat products in them. The false nails possibly could because of the glue to attach them (although, again no experience) and it may be connected to putting your nails in your mouth.

I think that the bacon should be ok, but I always buy Oscar Meyer because it tastes the best and verified gluten free. Hormel is always a good product to buy, because they will always list gluten.

Try to trace you intake back a day or so and make sure that every thing that you have consumed has been gluten free.

Hope that helps.

There are lots of hair products that have gluten in them. I've even been glutened by hair products that don't list any gluten. They just don't have the same rules against cross contamination that food products do. If you're micro-sensitive like me, it can be the hair products. Your salon should be able to get some ingredients lists and contact information for the manufacturers of the products.

I only got my nails done a couple times (pink and whites) and ended up getting glutened from them. It took me a while to figure it out. I just finally realized that every time I got sick it was after I ate something with my hands. I wasn't in the habit of getting my nails done, so it was no big deal to me just to take them off. So I don't know if it was the glue, the powder or the polish.

Bacon - Kraft will clearly list any and all gluten sources (as well as any allergens). If you look on the back of the package and it says it was made by Kraft (tons of stuff is). Oscar Mayer is a Kraft brand, so just read the list of ingredients, if there is no gluten listed it's fine. A lot of bacon has gluten in it, so make sure you read the ingredients.

Hope you feel better soon.
