Hi everyone. I have been doing as much research as possible since being diagnosed in December 2011. I think i have most foods covered now. I was using herbel essence shampoo but realized it definitely may not be gluten free, especially since my hair has been falling out in chunks. Im going to switch to garnier. Does anyone know if their entire line is gluten free?

Also what do you ladies do when you want to get your hair done? my salon told me they will not get gluten free products and i can bring my own but what about getting your hair colored?

Also can anyone recommend gluten free body lotion, sunscreen and tanning lotion to wear at the beach? I just want to have the basics covered since we are going on vacation soon. I know neotrogena has gluten-free products but for some reason my skin is irritated by it and burns when used.

Thank You!

AFAIK all the Garneir hair products are safe but read the labels. They will label clearly. I just bring my own shampoo and conditioner with me along with any styling aids I might need. When I colored my hair I also used their haircoloring. Perhaps you could bring some with you and your stylist could use that. If you do highlights or lowlights get two shades.

I use and love Andalou products (lotion, shampoo, facial cleansers, etc.) I order it off their website -- shipping is not cheap but once you place your first order they'll send you emails notices of sales, etc. When they have a special with free shipping I try to stock up!

I've also used the Neutrogena Naturals line successfully.

I had been using aubrey oranics for a while before all of this...and it looks like I might have to find a new brand. Wah. Their gpb is gluten free, so ill probably stick with that, but a couple of my other favorites - honeysuckle rose & white camellia are made with wheat germ oil. ...I only use natural products on my hair. No chemicals, no silicones/plastics, no sulfates, no alcohol etc. it seems that recently ao has been using alcohol in more of their products...so I probably woulda switched whether it had to do with gluten/wheat or not. Hm...maybe ill whip my own conditioner up when I want to.

Edit: I lied the gpb also has wheat germ oil. I just looked at one of my bottles.

The last time I checked, Banana Boat was safe, although I haven't heard the latest update.

I use a lot of Desert Essence products. Their "Organics" line is completely gluten free.

      Help me out here. Lauren Dam gluten-free beer from Spain is listed as gluten free. Yet its made from Barley Malt. I thought barley and any form had gluten. Anybody have any more information about it?

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
