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.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.
