gluten-free Hair Products

My sweet little girl is going to be a Who from Whoville in the Children's Theatre play of Seussical in our town. I don't see any problem with the make-up since I can find products that are fine for her. To save me the trouble of looking through hair products and tearing my own hair out trying to decipher the ingredients, does anyone have any suggestions for me? The Who's all have some crazy hairstyles and top ponytails, buns, etc. She will have this in her hair for several hours at a time for several days straight. I'm looking for gel, mousse and super strong hair spray. She has very fine hair that is hard to keep styled anyway.

Before anyone says it - I KNOW that gluten products on the skin are not supposed to cause a reaction. We've had her tested for allergies and it was fine. However, shampoo and conditioner with gluten in it causes little bumps on the back of her neck and top of her back (where her hair hits) that itch. I don't know why. It is possible it's another ingredient in there doing it, but gluten free products don't cause the reaction. (It's what I call 'wet gluten' that bothers her - the bumps don't stay there but for a day or so, it just seems to react while her skin and hair is wet). Since she'll be wearing this goop in her hair for extended times, I want her to be comfy.

Thanks so much!

Check out Garnier--they are very good about labeling and most of their hair products are gluten-free. They have great customer service, too :)

There are a lot of ShiKai products that are gluten free. I use their shampoo and conditioner.

___________________________________________

Thank you for your interest in ShiKai Products. All of our products are gluten free except for our moisturizing shower gels as they contain colloidal oatmeal and our borage moisturizer with SPF 15 as the starch in it is derived from wheat. Thank you and have a good day.

**Otherwise all of the the Dessert Essence Organics products are vegan and gluten free! www.desertessence.com/organics

I love their Coconut line of products....shampoo, conditioner,body wash, lotion, hand soap!! :)

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
