Aveda Shampoo / Conditioner

I've long been a lover of Aveda products and salons, but after my diagnosis last summer (2010) I had to stop using their products because of either wheat or barley being an ingredient. However, I have found that the Scalp Benefits Shampoo is gluten, soy -free. I've used it now for 3 months with no reactions (and my skin is pretty sensitive to anything with gluten or soy).

Here is an email from their company with the actual ingredients:

Dear Ann,

So happy this could help you! You're absolutely NOT crazy- hehe. I was itching constantly and my face, neck, and shoulders were breaking out into a horrible rash as well before I realized it was the wheat/barley in their Dry Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner. Once I switched to the Scalp Benefits (which is completely free of all the major allergens) everything cleared up and I felt normal again! Hopefully you'll be able to use the Scalp Benefits Shampoo and Conditioner without any issues. I always read the ingredients each time I purchase them just in case they changed, but so far so good!

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a...

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the...
