Hey guys i'm new here and reading all your posts has been a huge help :)<3. I was wondering if anyone could recommend good gluten free shampoos, and other hair products like mousse and gel and stuff. I've had some bad experiences with them in the past...I recently had my hair bleached and its pretty damaged and i need a strong hydrating shampoo for it, but a lot of those shampoos have protiens (possibly wheat protein) so i'm scared to get anything. I'm stll having trouble figuring ingredients out.

-Thanks in advance :)

Dove products are generally gluten free. Not into the gels and mouse, so I can't advise.

Do a search here on shampoos, there is a great data base of previously ask questions.

I use a lot of the Pantene stuff. You have to read the label because I think some of it has gluten, but a lot of it doesn't. I'm very reactive to haircare products and cosmetics, so I've grown to trust them to label everything accurately.

Dear luckygfme,

I use L'oreal Vive Pro Conditioner and Tresseme Shampoo. These companies should clearly list any gluten containing ingredients. Both Dove and Suave have good lotions, styling aids, soaps, etc. that clearly list gluten if present. As for the severe damage, these products should help. However, I would recommend you do a hot oil treatment once a week. My best friend's hair was permed and highlighted, and I told her about the VO5 one-minute hot oil treatment. It is activated by the steam of your shower. It should be gluten free.

Sincerely,

Unless they changed it a real short time ago VO5 oil is mainly wheat germ oil. Please be sure to read the labels on the commercial oil treatments, most will mot be safe.

The two best ways to deep treat I have found are pure coconut oil or olive oil. You use them the same way heat them a bit apply then wrap in a towel (some folks put plastic wrap on hair under the towel), or pile it then get in a hot bath. Then shampoo as usual using two lathers. Works great and definately safer and less expensive.

Thermasilk is gluten-free--my hair is chemically relaxed, and this is as good or better than anything else I've tried.

I use Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense once a week for deep conditioning. It's pricy, but not nearly as much as going to the salon for conditioning treatments.

Dear ravenwoodglass,

Oh no! That is terrible! I was recommended their detangler! Someone on here said it was safe. I am glad you posted about the wheat germ oil. Crap! Do they have to put that in everything? :angry:

Dear luckygfme,

Another very inexpensive way to do a hot oil treatment is to take 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil to 1 Tablespoon honey in a plastic bag. Heat it in a ziploc for a minute or so, then apply to hair. Leave on 15 minutes, then rinse. Condition as usual.

Other great moisturizers for hair include:

Mash 1 whole avacado (peeled and pitted) leave on 15 min. then condition as usual.

Mayonnaise

Eggs

Coconut oil and milk

It is amazing what you have in your kitchen can help with! Great exfoliators for skin can help a lot, too! Just use a rough loofah sponge to remove dead skin cells after you take sugar and water and make a paste on your feet. Let it set 15 minutes. Then slough off the dead skin cells with the loofah. Apply baby oil to moisturize.

For your lips, it is easy, too. Before you take a shower, (hot and steamy) slather your lips with Vasoline Petroleum Jelly. Let it set on your lips during the shower. Then, when you get out, use a soft bristled toothbrush to slough off the dead skin cells. This is quick and effective. It is also inexpensive!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I was just in Sephora today, looking for gluten free shampoos, conditioners etc, I found the Johnathan line, supposedly he is on Bravo network with his stuff.. its all natural, all vegan and no wheat anywhere in any of the products, no funny ingredients or anything..

Granted, saying that, I have not called on the products yet, I bought the shampoo and conditioner, I desperatly needed something gluten free.. I will let you know if its any good, its a bit more expensive than the supermarket stuff.. and I have not verified it yet.. so dont use anything I have here as gospel!

Dear luckygfme,

You are so welcome! Beauty on a budget is possible! Then, you can save money for other things you want! Like a nice new outfit or something! :) Some gluten free goodies would be a nice splurge, too! It blows my mind how much some celebrities are paying for some of these spa treatments you can easily do at home.

If you prefer the all natural route I reccomend Giovanni and Shakai, both available at natural food stores.

NoGluGirl,

which of the tresseme shampoos do you use? All of them I have looked at have hydrolized wheat protein in the ingredients so I'd love to know which one doesn't. I miss my tresseme! :(

Dear Byte Me,

I am using the ColorThrive for brunettes and redheads. The ingredients mostly sound like chemicals. However, they do not cause me trouble! As far as I know, they clearly list ingredients they use. Here is what mine contains:

water, ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium xylenesulfonate, cocamidopropyl betaine, propylene glycol, bisamino PEG/PPG-41/3 aminoethyl PG propyl dimethicone, aminopropyl dimethicone, PEG-2 dimeadowfoamamidoethylmonium methosulfate, panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, biotin, niacinamide, ascorbic acid, guar hydroxypropyltraminonium chloride, quaternium-80, citric acid, PEG-18 glyceryl oleate/cocoate, poly quaternium-7, laureth-7, glycol distearate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, hexylene glycol, dipropylne glycol, DMDM hydantoin, sodium chloride, ammonium chloride, tetrasodium EDTA, polysorbate-20, parfum/fragrance, caramel

As far as I know, these things are all safe. If anyone knows different, please correct me.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
