Is Cetyl Alcohol gluten-free? I have been searching the web and have gotten conflicting information. :blink:

Cetyl alcohol is a chemical.

So yes, it is gluten free.

People who suffer from eczema can be sensitive to this chemical.

Are you referring to it's use in hair conditioners?

Hi,

I do not have eczema, and yes I am referring to hair conditioners. :)

I have become pretty good at these things because I researched a lot and I am married to a chemist. He's very handy to have around. :lol:

If you are worried about hair conditioners containing "hydrolyzed wheat protein", the label will state that ingredient.

Those products have long ingredient lists, don't they!

Does that help? :)

You are a lucky lady indeed Irish, married to a chemist :-)

I did not think it did, but reading a another Celiac Blog they had listed hairsprays from Suave and another company, and they claim the companies stated that Cetyl Alcohol "might"contain gluten. This confused me.

I have just bought Suave shampoo and conditioner to try for the first time, and when I saw that the conditioner contained "cetyl alcohol" figured I would get some straight answers here.

Thank you so much for your clarification :-) I used it last night, and have had no problems so far.

Have a great day,

Suave is safe as far as I know. I have used it.

Cetyl alcohol is often derived from coconut in hair products.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
