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.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
