Dear Fellow Gluten-Free Friends,

I want to get my hair done. The trouble is, despite going to the Web sites for these products, I have not found anything! I was hoping someone on here is a hairdresser or knows one. I may just have to read all of the packages first. Still, some companies do not label ingredients clearly. This is the list of items the hairdresser will need to use:

Matrix V-Light

Clairol Professional Kaleidocolors - Neutral

Hydrogen Peroxide 30 Volume by Joico

Enameled haircolor 6N and/or 7N

Kenra shampoos, styling gels, and hairsprays

Lamour Vita/E unscented or scented

Ion Anti-Frizz Solution Heat Protection

I would appreciate any help. I really do not know anything about the ingredients. Unless you are a professional stylist, getting information on the ingredients is nearly impossible. The general public do not normally need this type of information, but we do! I need to get back to the hair stylist soon. Thank you!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

If you have product you currently use, perhaps your stylist would be open to you brining those in and s/he using them on your head. That way you know contamination is not an issue and you can have a killer 'do.

Dear Kristina,

The thing is, these items have to be used for what I need done. She is going to do my hair like Jennifer Aniston. She has to strip the black dye, then add highlights and low-lights. It is a complicated procedure. Now my mother says we cannot afford it, so I do not think I will get to do it anyway. The stylist can use certain shampoos and stuff, but will not use any OTC styling aids.

Sincerely,

Jin

I will tell you that I have had some reactions to the chemicals in the past but I can't say that it was celiac related. As far as products go, I only use Aquage products at home and my hairdresser does the same at the salon. Good luck and I hope you get to have your hair done!!!!

Dear Amy,

Thank you for your input! :) It is difficult to say if there is gluten in some of these things. I have no idea about any chemical names for wheat, barley, oats or rye. Some of the labels I read look safe, but that does not necessarily mean anything. Web sites really only permit hairdressers to know some of this information. I will figure out something.

I sort of need to get my hair done. It was the cause of my dog's surgery. He is really dopey. Dart got very ill the other week. We took him to the vet. There was an obstruction in his small intestine, and it was a big wad of my hair! :o

Sincerely,

Jin

Have your hairdresser ask the distributor's sales rep to get you contact numbers for all of the brands that you will be using, that way, you can call and be certain. If you run into problems with just regular customer service, you may have to ask if you can speak with the chemist.

Dear debslo,

I have contacted the chemist at Kenra. He got back to me, now I have to call him back! We appear to be playing phone tag. He said some of the products have gluten, and others do not. I need to run by and look at the ingredients, and see if there is a phone number on the package.

Dear almostnrn,

Thank you for your concern about the dog! :) He has not learned anything, either. Dart is already going around trying to eat hair again! Do you believe that? No matter how much I sweep, he manages to get a hold of something. If it is not hair, it is lint, or even a Q-Tip! :blink:

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
