I have the same question, right now I am using sunsilk extra body shampoo and conditioner, I am still losing hair, but not nearly as much as I was when I was using Tresseme...

I use ShiKai's shampoo and conditioner, and am quite happy with it. Definitely need the conditioner in the winter, though. :)

I also like ShiKai very much. I've used the Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner.

Dove is good, and will list any gluten on the label. I'm currently using Desert Essence.

Garnier has many gluten-free products--their Long and Strong Shampoo and Conditioner are gluten-free.

I am using the Dove pro-age products (for people over 50) and love them.

My youngest daughter uses Dove as well, and did by choice before knowing about being gluten intolerant, because their shampoos, conditioners and gels are great. The same goes for the soap.

I just started using Burt's Bees shampoo and conditioner (the grapefruit scented one). I really like it.

Some scents have wheat protein, so check the label.

I use Ecover dish soap for shampoo, and Nature's gate conditioner. I'm cheap. But it works really good! My hair is so manageable now. And shiny. But I have lots of fine, light, long, fluffy hair. Might not work for different types of hair.

I think it does too, But thats why I was asking what other people used, I am def. not going to go out and buy anymore shampoos and conditioners till i know for sure it has no gluten, and since my hair isnt falling out too bad, i figure ill use it till i get a brand, And thanks to all of you on here, I can finally go out and get some gluten-free shampoos!!!!!

I am new to the whole label reading thing, and sometimes Ill see something, and think its okay, but then find out its not.....

Thanks!!!!

Read the label because I know I ended up giving mine away after checking the label. I know the Neutrogena clean shampoo is gluten-free but wanted a change. I did go and buy the Garnier Long and Strong and am having a good hair day today :D (thanks jerseyangel) L.A.

I use Pantene. Never had a problem with it. I can't do most of the "natural" or "organic" hair care products on the market because everyone seems to want to put sunflower oil in them. Whatever. If it's isn't one thing it's another.

I dont remember which thread it was on, but I want to thank the person who told me about everyday minerals, I got my free samples in yesterday, and am wearing them today, which is a great pick me up, since I have been down the past 2 days. I love how light weight the makeup is, it looks flawless! Thank You!!

Isn't that stuff great? I like it too. I don't usually wear makeup, but I need good stuff for the rare occasion when I do, so I got some of their stuff and I love it. I wish they made mascara. But if you're feeling the pocketbook pinch for shampoos, the Ecover dish soap idea might work for you, because its so much cheaper than shampoo. It's expensive for dish soap, but awful cheap for shampoo. And if you hate it for your hair, at least you can use it for something else instead of having to give it away. It works for shampoo because it's a lot more liquidy than normal dish soap, it pours like water instead of goo. It's very gentle. Doesn't last as long as normal dish soap for washing dishes though, it dissolves fatser and you have to use more. It also smells a lot gentler, I'm so tired of shampoo that makes me sneeze.

hi,

I was just diagnosed in december.... at the time my scalp was a mess (now I know why). I just switched to Dove and my hair and scalp are really healing.

Good luck with your search!

I also had noticable hair loss before gluten-free and after a few months began using lotions and shampoos that do not have wheat. It made a dramatic difference with my skin, scalp and hair problems.

I recommend Pureology zerosulfate purifyshampoo (pale green bottle) expensive but you use a very small amount so it lasts. It has tea tree oil in it also. Check carefully because not all of the pureolgy products are wheat free.

Neutrogena Clean Replenishing shampoo and conditioner are also great.

What ingredients in make up and shampoo have gluten in them? Obviously wheat. But can it be hidden in other ingredients?

I love it, I just became their biggest fan..lol It is so light weight, and natural looking and feeling. Thanks for the tips with the shampoo thing its getting expensive..lol Anyhow things are going alot better, and I feel beautiful today(new makeup and all) Its been a while since I have felt this good.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
