Shampoo Question


Martyg

Recommended Posts

Martyg Apprentice

Hi,

Been awhile since I been here, and I need help with a question. I have very, very fine, thin hair which I henna and perm to try and give it some life. I was thinking of getting a wig, that was how bad it was getting. It was very dry and losing some each day. I finally found a really great shampoo, Wen Lavendar which has worked wonders with my hair, alot less dry and looks and feels so much fuller.

The twist is, I looked at the label last night and there is wheat protein in it. I have not had any upsets (other than the normal spring stuff that usually goes on) and did not know how much of a role shampoo would play with celiac disease.

Any help and feedback would be greatly appreciated. I have tried many, many shampoos, from my hairdresser, friends, organic, non organic, baby and nothing has been helpful until now. There was no wheat in any of the previous shampoos.

Thanks,

Marty

My shampoo has wheat protein in it and I have used it for months with no problems!(No symptoms and blood work is with in normal limits.)

Each person is different and needs to make their own choice on topicals such as shampoo.

      That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn!  Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's.  In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.

      Today, in Uniontown, PA,  I ordered Jersey Mike’s Italian sub on gluten-free bread (paid extra for gluten-free) for my brother who hasn’t had a sub in yrs (neorological prob if consumes). He’s so happy! Their gluten-free bread is from a company that specializes in gluten-free products, some of which I’ve enjoyed before, so figured a sub would be good!

      Most recent gluten challenge guidelines call for the consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in about 4-6 slices of wheat-based bread) for at least 2 weeks.  When celiacs have been on gluten free diets for long periods of time, they often find that when they consume a good amount of gluten, they react much more strongly than they did before going gluten free. They have lost all tolerance to the poison they had when consuming wheat products regularly. That is certainly the case with me. A couple of years ago I accidentally consumed a wheat biscuit my wife had made thinking it was a gluten free one and it made me violently ill. So, I mention that as I don't know if your son has started the gluten challenge yet.
