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!! :)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
