Gluten Free Body Care @ Whole Foods?

I recently bought the 365 everyday herbal mint scent of shampoo from Whole Foods. It's basically their generic brand. I love the smell and the fact that the products are natural and sulfide free. But I read on a different post that the 365 shampoo is not gluten free.

Here's the ingredients:

Ingredients: Aqua (water), sodium myristoyl sarcosinate, cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine,

disodium cocoamphodipropionate, sodium cocoamphoacetate, sodium chloride, glucono- lactone, sodium benzoate, phenethyl alcohol, glyceryl caprylate, citric

acid, hydrolyzed soy protein, panthenol, arnica montana (arnica flower extract), thymus vulgaris (thyme extract), polysorbate 20, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary oil),

mentha piperita (peppermint oil), mentha spicata (spearmint oil), mentha arvensis (cornmint oil), citrus medica limonum (lemon oil), lavandula angustifolia (lavender oil),

thymus vulgaris (thyme oil).

anybody see anything in there that means wheat, barley, rye or oats??? I do not see anything....

I am just hoping that there isn't anything as I bought the shampoo, conditioner AND lotion!

They had some other shampoos (dessert essence brand) listed as gluten free with a little tag, but when I read the ingredients, they had hydrogenated wheat protein in them. I wasn't so sure about that!!

Help!! Can I safely use 365 brand??

That particular one is on their gluten-free list, so I bought it! I had an immediate skin reaction. I'm not sure if it is from the gluten or something else. I also bought it because it seemed pretty natural. I also use the conditioner (non-scented) and I am completely fine with that!

On a side note, once a week I use a dandruff shampoo that is also gluten-free (confirmed by the manufacturer) and I get the same skin reaction down my back and chest. Oddly enough, neither product has anything in common that would be considered an allergen! Go figure!

I am hoping that someone on here will reply with a list! I saw one once on a gluten/casein free site, but can't find it again and didn't print it out like I do most things! :( Sorry!

Good luck!

      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!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
