I get my hair done at the salon. Since my stylist is the one to touch the color and since she washes it out afterward, I don't worry about it.

If I were coloring at home I'd be more concerned.

Loreal makes some that are safe. There are other companies also. It is especially important if you use a level 2 color that washes out gradually to make sure it is safe. Most companies will tell you if you call.

Dear Paula,

I use Waterworks. They contain no ammonia or peroxide, either. They are easier on your hair. I get my dye at Sally's Beauty Supply. These are henna dyes, however. You cannot use those if you use a straightening iron, because it will make your hair fall out. So could using a dye with gluten, though if you have DH.

Sincerely,

A quick warning about henna, if you have used any haircoloring either permenant or wash out do not use henna until after it has all grown out. You could end up with some real interesting colors otherwise. If you have never colored you hair before from what I understand henna is great though.

Dear ravenwoodglass,

My hair was its natural color when I dyed it with the henna. You also could lose your hair if you switch dyes. I think no matter what, people should do a patch test. My mom and grandmother were both hair dressers. There are things you need to be careful about!

Unless they have changed recently no. You may want to go to their website and Email the question in case maybe they have one or two that are. Most of their products are not safe though, at least last time I checked.

I know that Loreal Feria is gluten-free. I called and spoke to a woman there who told me there are "no gluten ingredients whatsoever" in it.

Dear Patti,

Thanks for the info on this. I use a different dye, but in case I ever need to switch, I will know what to use! There is so much that is difficult for us. It is bad enough we have to fear everything we breathe or eat or drink, but what we wear as well! Any information that makes this simpler is good!

Glad that the information was helpful, Jin.

Dear Patti,

As far as I know, my dye is safe. I like it because it does not burn your nostrils out, either! I cannot stand those chemicals they put in some of them! It feels like your lungs inhaled fire! The Waterworks smells like watercolor paint. That is bearable!

Sincerely,

Jin

Dear Paula,

I am not sure if they have any highlight kits. They might. We get a select number of products here. It is difficult to say. I am going to pick up my dye soon. I will look and see if they have any.

Dear Paula,

No prob! I get it at Sally's Beauty Supply. I do not know if you guys have one or not. I do not think it is just a local place. It seems to be in other parts of the country.

Dear Paula,

As far as I know, they do not have highlighting or lowlighting in the Waterworks. However, I am going to poke around on the internet and see if they carry them anywhere. We do not get a number of things larger cities do. There is a possibility they have them but we just do not see them here! My mother and my grandmother on the other side of the family used to be beauticians! I thought about doing it, but I have Fibromyalgia and too many chemical sensitivities.

Dear Lynn,

I just remembered I was supposed to e-mail you! :o I am so sorry! I forgot! Unless someone e-mails me first, I will normally forget! The hair dye is a henna, so keep in mind if you ever want to change it, you will have to get it stripped professionally. Also, never use a straightening iron or get a perm using this type of dye, because it will cause your hair to fall out! My mother's hair dresser told her that. I had thought about changing my hair, but when I found out how big of a pain it would be, I decided to stick with being a raven-haired beauty! I think it suits my personality more anyway!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
