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

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
