Healing Garden... Safe?

Okay, so when I first went gluten-free, I just worried about food. It was too much to try to tackle everything else in my life. Several weeks ago, I switched my shampoo and conditioner... I had known right from the start that I needed to get rid of them (it was a terrible loss after 15 years of the same product!!!), and it was wonderful.

ANYhow.... now it's time for skin products. My skin isn't right yet after 2+ months gluten free and 3+ weeks of safe shampoo. I know I may still be purging the poison from me, BUT I fear it could be the products I'm using (and have a large stash of!!!). I can't see anything obvious by checking the ingredients, and the website doesn't seem to have a convenient "Contact Us" link to email them, so before I resort to mail or whatever, do any of you know about the Healing Garden products. I use several different scents of lotions and body sprays (which I looooove!!!!!!!!!!!!)--- does anybody already know offhand about their products being safe?

Thank you!!!

I don't know about Healing Garden, but I was wondering what shampoo and conditioner you changed to that is "safe." I need something better.

BTW: I use Neutrogena Emulsion lotion (gluten free) and love it.

I forget offhand what the name of the shampoo is (I'm at work!), but it's some herbal stuff that I got at the natural food store. I've heard that some mainstream products like Garnier Fructis are safe, but I tried that a few years ago for non-gluten-related reasons and hated it. I have really long, thick hair that borders on being wavy, so I'm pretty picky about what I use. ;)

There are a number of mainstream brands that are gluten-free. Fructis, Pantene and Themasilk come to mind. I think Dove is also and Suave. Treseme is NOT gluten-free.

I was using Natures Gate Organics Fruit Blend Shampoo but realized it had Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Wheat Starch in it. I was using the Asian Pear and Red Tea and I really liked it. But come to think of it it did make my scalp dry and itchy. :( Which are you using?

If you have DH, you may find that it takes months for it to heal. Also, taking as much iodine out of your diet as possible, until you heal, will help as the iodine is part of the reaction that causes DH.

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein...

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
