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

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
