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.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
