Hi,

Does anyone know of any shampoo conditioners hand lotions and cosmetics that are gluten-free. I am desperately trying to replace all of mine but have no clue as to what is gluten-free and what isn't! I call Panteine and they said they couldn't guarantee that the fragrance in their shampoo didn't derive from WBOR. I also called Dove and they said that they would list WBOR and am not sure if I can trust that?!?!?!?!?! PLEASE ANY SPECIFIC BRANDS WOULD BE APPRECIATED! Thanks, Justine :huh:

Everything by Dove is gluten-free, except for one with oats (I think it's a body wash or cream). It is a Unilever brand, and will label gluten. They label the derivatives of the ingredients in brackets. I am gluten and casein free, and I use all Dove, except my hand cream, which is Vaseline.

Right now, I'm using Dove shampoo and conditioner--they are great about listing any gluten in plain English.

Garnier is also good--their telephone reps are very helpful. I've used their shampoo, conditioner, Smoothing Milk and other styling products.

Betty,

Thank you for this! I loved Bare Escentuals (well, the idea of it :P ), but it began to make my face itchy and to break out. I later learned that it was the bismuth that was most likely causing the problems.

I think I'm going to try it! I'll let you know :)

hi patti, I used to use BE too, I thought it was a little high priced, the mineral basics are just as good, but much better priced

I think I started out with a try me kit, it was under 20 dollars I think and lasted a long time.

When I called Panteine several months ago they told me all their products were gluten free. Did they change their ingrediants does anybody know? I love my Panteine.

I, as a rule, ONLY use Pantene products. I have never known them to have gluten in them. I have used Pantene for the entire 7 yrs I have been gluten free.

I believe that in any one product, the source of the "fragrance" can change at any given time, and does change often. That's why nothing can be absolutely gauranteed. Even the company itself doesn't always know where the fragrance might have come from (or so I've been told). They generally just go with the cheapest option.

For anyone interested in more "all natural" type products (which I like, because it takes the mystery factor out of the ingredients), Giovanni 50/50 Balanced shampoo and conditioners are really good. I recently bought a couple bottles on sale for about $6 each, which isn't bad for something with higher quality ingredients

:D

I use Thermasilk shampoo, I know Suave is ok, too. Most Fructis stuff is fine. I use CoverGirl tinted moisturizer, eyeshadow, lipstick. Some Boots No.7, but a few of those lipsticks do have gluten. Vaseline Intensive Care body lotion - I use the SPF15 stuff (it's new and sunscreen in a body lotion is genius!) but watch out for this brand because some kinds do have gluten. Chapstick is fine, bonne bell I think is mostly ok. In general I just read the ingredients and if they look fine I use it.

I loved Thermasilk! I went to buy it recently, and couldn't find it anywhere. I checked, and it's been discontinued :angry:

I just called panteine today because that is the brand of shampoo i used for years and they told me they couldn't guarentee the fragrance was gluten-free because it comes from suppliers who don't tell what is in it?!?!?!?! Just a little FYI

I was told that the hydrolyzed vegatable oil that they put in most chapsticks like bonnie bell no chapstick it self have gluten in it. Take that with a grain of salt because I can't verify how reliable the source was. Someone posted that on their gluten-free web site!

One ingredient that I personally look out for is tocopherol (Vitamin E). It can be made with wheat. It can also be from soy, but a lot of times, when I question the companies, they don't know the source.

I have not dealt with toiletries at all yet, except my daughters toothpaste which seemed OK. Are the ingredients you look for some of the same names you watch for in food??? Is your risk of getting glutened the same from topicals as it is from food? Is the necessity of cutting these products out still debated, or is it the consensus? Has anyone been glutened from their products?

A year after the diagnosis, I find that I continue to have so many questions!

I'm so glad you're all here!

Wal-Mart sells a brand called Kiss My Face lip balm and all the organic flavors are gluten free.

On the toothpaste issue Colgate told me today that they don't intentionaly put gluten products in their pastes but cannot guarantee that they don't come into contact with products that contain gluten. All Crest products are gluten free according to their website.

Hope it helps.

Well, there is some debate. But it mostly seems to be between medical experts that don't have gluten problems themselves and those of us who live with such problems. I've certainly seen any number of people mention getting better once gluten-laden personal care items are eliminated. There is another thread where people are discussing being glutened at hair salons.

(There seems to be the same dichotomy when it comes to potential glutening from cutting boards, licking envelopes, etc.)

I am more prone to believe what is said by people who live with this every day, rather than "experts" who offer opinions that aren't backed up by any studies that I've seen. OK, it might be nice to have a double blind experiment where folks intolerant to gluten get a gluteny shampoo or not, or whatever, but I can't see it happening anytime soon.

I just discovered a couple days ago that my hair styling products have wheat in them. (I checked what I was currently using and I check anything new. I found this stuff in the back of a cabinet & thought I would try it again since my hair style had changed. Didn't think to read the ingredients until I saw that other thread.) Thinking through it, I definitely would have ingested at least a bit of the stuff. If you can't wash it off of colanders, cutting boards and the like with ease, what makes people think you can reliably wash gluten out of all the creases around your fingernails? And I shudder to think of all the time I fixed my hair with wet fingers, etc., and all the times my fingers go into my mouth or touch something that goes into my mouth. I wasn't carefully scrubbing my hands constantly throughout the day.

Arguments about how the gluten molecule doesn't absorb into skin ignores the fact that you touch parts of your body all the time and your fingers go into your mouth. It seems foolhardy to use products with gluten in them when you just as easily use products that don't. Why take the risk?

I am curious to see if my nagging remaining symptoms now clear up.

I haven't figured out what I'm going to use yet. I will probably go with someone who labels their products gluten-free or tells you on the web site that they are.

If anyone can suggest a nice hair gel or mousse, I would appreciate it.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
