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

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @rei.b, Ehlers Danlos syndrome and Celiac Disease can occur together in genetically predisposed individuals.  Losing ones gallbladder is common with celiac disease. I'm glad Naltrexone is helping with your pain.  Naltrexone is known to suppress tTg IgA and tTg IgG production, so it's not surprising that only your DGP IgG and DGP IgA are high.   Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol diet designed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself?  The AIP diet helps lower inflammation and promotes intestinal healing.   The AIP diet is a Paleo diet that eliminates foods that can cause intestinal inflammation until you heal on the inside, then more foods can be added back in.  The low histamine AIP diet will help reduce inflammation further.   Histamine is released as part of the immune response in celiac disease.  Foods also contain various amounts of histamine or provoke histamine release.  Lowering the amount of histamine from foods helps.  The body, with help from B vitamins, can clear histamine, but if more histamine is consumed than can be cleared, you can stay in an inflammatory state for a long time. Cutting out high histamine foods is beneficial.  Omit night shades which contain alkaloids that add to leaky gut syndrome found with celiac disease.  Night shades include tomatoes, peppers including bell peppers, potatoes and eggplants.  Processed foods like sausages and gluten-free processed products are high in histamines.  All Grains are removed from the diet because they are inflammatory and provoke histamine release. Blood tests for deficiencies in B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before blood levels show a deficiency.  Blood levels do not accurately measure the quantity of B vitamins stored inside the cells where they are utilized.  The brain will order stored vitamins to be released from organs into the blood stream to keep the brain and heart supplied while deficiency occurs inside organs, like the gallbladder.  Gall bladder dysfunction is caused by a deficiency in Thiamine Vitamin B 1 and other B vitamins.   The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea and constipation, and the malabsorption and inflammation that occurs with celiac disease.  Because they are water soluble, the body can easily excrete any excess B vitamins in urine.  The best way to see if you are deficient is to take a B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and look for health improvements in the following weeks.  Most B Complex supplements contain Thiamine Mononitrate which is not bioavailable.  The body has a difficult time utilizing thiamine mononitrate because it doesn't break down easily.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Remember your intestines are in a damaged, permeable state.  Treat them tenderly, like you would a baby until they heal.  You wouldn't feed a baby spicy bell peppers and hard to digest corn and nuts.  Change your diet so your intestines can heal.   I use a combination of B12 Cobalamine, B 6 Pyridoxine, and B1 Benfotiamine for pain.  These three B vitamins have analgesic properties.  They relieve pain better than other otc pain relievers.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.
