Hi: I bought this shampoo called "Yes to carrots" it looked safe enough but I emailed the manufacturer and they said it should be ok as they use an anti-oxidant in the formula--so what, that kills gluten? Here's the list of ingredients:

water, sodium coceth sulfate, magnesium chloride,Dead Sea water, sweet almond oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, propanediol, aloe barbadenis leaf extract, daucus carrot seed oil, daucus carota juice, pumpkin juice, sweet potato extract, cucumis melon extract, citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract, honey extract, fragrance, algae extracts, silt, niacinimide, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, benzyl alcohol, dehydroacetic acid, pomegranate peel estract.

What do you think? Thanks! L.A.

That is a new one. I am not aware of anything that "kills" gluten. Hmmmm and whole wheat has antioxidents (i.e. vitamin E). I wouldnt trust it personally. But that is just me.

It is so frustrating when you can't get a straight answer from the company that makes the product! You would think they would know what's in it. Argh!

The sodium coceth sulfonate - wheat can be added as in Sodium Wheat Protein Sulfonate. do a google search...

I always call and ask what the source of the vitamin E is--it can be derived from wheat, and this is more likely to be the case with topical products, I've found.

I think if it were called "Yes to Spelt" or something like that you should be worried but as is it sounds pretty safe.

It sounds like their phone person is a bit clueless, because anti-oxidants have no effect on gluten. I woder if they even know what gluten is?

Nevertheless, I agree with Patti that you should call and ask for the source of the Vitamin E. Don't be surprised if they either don't know or tell you that it's OK because it's "natural" or "organic."

Also, because of off-shoring and other reasons, companies often have no idea what is actually in the products they expect us to use in and on our bodies. Boggles the mind, it does! :blink:

This is the response I got--should be good to go. Also, I have discovered another company that has many gluten free products for hair/body etc. Check out greenbeaver.com (yep it's Canadian eh )

Hello Again Lori

My apologies!! Error from my side!

All the products which contain wheat derivatives are not Gluten free. The Yes To Carrots Pampering Carrot Juice Shampoo however is Gluten free.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
