Wheat Protein In Hair Cream


ENF

Recommended Posts

ENF Enthusiast

I got a haircut while on vacation a couple of months ago, and the barber used a "light hold styling cream", which they also sold in the shop. I bought a tube, without checking the ingredients. I just read the ingredients, and it contains, among many other things, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch.

I have not have any skin problems from using it, or any other symptoms. I only use a tiny bit on my hair after a shampoo, and wash my hands after applying it, which I have done even before I knew that it contained wheat. I have not even used up 5% of the tube yet, but now I'm nervous since finding out it has wheat products in it. Should I toss it?

I wouldn't toss it. As long as you don't eat it you should be okay ;)

Thanks Amy, I don't plan on eating it, lol. Once in a while I have to do a reality check, because I've been so careful since learning the ropes of gluten free living over the past four years, that I get nervous when a variable like this is entered into the equation. There's plenty of non-gluten toxic things that most people come into contact with every day, that could make them sick, and they just avoid getting them into their mouths. It's a task that I think I already know how to do. :P

I would probably break out from using that product but you haven't so I wouldn't let it worry me. You seem to be fine with it. Put it out of your mind and rest at ease.

Oh, interesting...I stopped using a hair product with wheat three weeks ago and the painful "pimples" on the back of my head have gone away. I never put the two together :o

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
