ARCHIVED How Bad Is Wheat In Shampoo?
Stagiary replied to ErraticBinxie's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I too wonder how bad wheat is in shampoo. What if I just keep my mouth shut and carefully wash off my face and hands afterwards? When I went gluten free summer 2006, I chucked all the gluten-containing personal care items. I had used Frieda Brilliant Brunette conditioner, Alterna Hemp damage repair leave in treatment, and Aveeno body wash. I switched... -
Before going gluten free, I experienced fatigue, brain fog, constipation, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, and occassional dizziness. I started the gluten free diet four months ago.

I have felt a lot better on the diet, and that probably means I'll stick with it no matter how the test results come out. I can't do my job feeling the way I did before. I get paid to think and I can't think straight when I have gluten induced brain...

1) Can anyone recommend a family physician that I could see in the Virginia/West Virginia area that would provide a referral to a gastroenterologist? 2) How long do I need to be on a gluten filled diet in order to provoke measurable consequences? I have been on a gluten free diet for two months. I did a food elimination diet to identify the foods that...
