I was just wondering about organic products. Ever since I was diagnosed with Celiac (which was a little over a year ago) I have been reading labels like crazy (obviously). I have begun to convert everything I have to organic products. The biggest issue I have run into is finding organic shampoos and conditioners which do not contain gluten. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it. (THANKS!!!) :D:D:D

Thats a great question! I don't know of any--the ones I find all have wheat as well--so I'll be looking forward to the replies.

Have you checked Burt's Bees stuff? I don't know what the ingredients are but I think their whole line is organic. You can buy it online and several of our local stores carry some or all of their products. I am happy with the stuff I do buy.

Trader Joe's has one that is, as I recall, organic and gluten-free.

Would that be the Trader Joe brand, or other?

Check out Aubrey's Organics Rosa marqueta shampoo. It was recommended by Jenvan and I love the stuff too! Beverly

I have used Collective Wellbeing's line for fine hair.....a good shampoo, but not entirely for me. I have oily hair and it was a bit too gentle - my hair would be oily by 5 or 6 pm.

Their own brand. Just check the ingredients for which ones are safe.

good question :) i'm all about the organic/all natural products. As Berneses said, I definitely recommend Aubrey Organics (fav Rosa Mosqueta shampoo). Just be sure to ck ingredients. There is also Giovanni Hair Care products--their entire line is organic and gluten-free. (Even their Golden Wheat Shampoo--it actually has no wheat in it!) They have gel, mousse, hairspray, shampoo, conditioner etc. You can buy them online or at a natural Wild Oats type grocery store. Good stuff !

Jen,

You had mentioned earlier about the California Baby products I saw some of them at Whole Foods but none of their lotions, do they carry it else where? I talked to the manager and he said that he didn't know they even had lotions but that he would look into getting some. Thanks! :)

Angela-

Sorry I missed your question until now... I am able to buy their lotions in a local natural foods store... I know they have some of their products at Whole Foods too. I have also ordered them off their website. Their lotions are here: Open Original Shared Link If you call, they are very helpful. PS--Glad you like the shampoo...I love it too :)

I saw the California Baby brand at Whole Foods but they only had the shampoo! What lotion do you like the most...I'm afraid I like cosmetic products WAY too much...I gave my sister all of my hald used products and man I was thinking "that is so much money in products" but I can't help it I love trying new things...and usually I use it all except I decided to give all of the Gluten containing items to her because I didn't want to "half way" do the Gluten Free thing it was all or nothing...and I chose to be healthy...at first my family was thinking that I was going overboard until that is I gave them this message board website and they have been 100% behind me since.

Ok off of that ramble...

The Calming lotion is my favorite--it has a fresh, light scent to it with a little lavender. I also like the super sensitive--pretty much no fragrance to that. Glad you got rid of all the bad stuff. I gave away bags of products to friends. I think I stocked my best friend's kitchen and medicine cabinet for months! It is expensive... Anywho, at least those of us who are into trying new products can get excited about that when switching out the old stuff! Also, I did switch to bare escentuals makeup...and my face wash and lotions are Juice Beauty or Boscia now--all natural, no preservatives. I get both on sephora.com or in the store. If you try any of those just make sure you ck the ingredients, I haven't used or cked all their products. The Boscia facial polishing scrub is awesome!!

Susan-

I don't know if all their products are gluten-free. I have been checking as I go. But if you go to their website: Open Original Shared Link They list the ingredients to all their products. I've also e-mailed them in the past and they responded. The facial polish I use is: Open Original Shared Link

Angela-

I think we do too :) Go here to see a list of most of the products I use, if you're interested: Open Original Shared Link

      Months of diarrhea - Testing question

      By MichelleGrant · Posted

      I've been gluten intolerant for as long as I can remember. I get terrible cramps and fatigue/ feel like I've got the flu. In the last 3 months I've felt increasingly unwell. I started to get very bad diarrhea after eating gluten, which would take 4-5 days to recover from with a very bland gluten-free diet. It escalated 4 weeks ago after having a small piece of bread. The diarrhea got so bad I went to the doctor thinking I had gastro. It was just before a trip overseas so he put me on antibiotics. The stool test for virus/ infection was negative. While overseas I had a terrible episode. I had some wheat (I know - I was missing western food), and that evening had chills for two hours. I had a bad episode of diarrhea. The next morning was the worst. I was shaking, felt like I was going to be sick, and had the worst diarrhea of my life. It was basically water, and I couldn't leave the bathroom for 2 hours. We had to change our train tickets and get a late checkout. Awful. I'll never eat gluten again. That was 1.5 weeks ago. I've eaten gluten-free since then, and my body is still working through things. Most foods are now causing irritation. I'm on a very bland gluten-free diet which seems to be working. I saw my Dr today. I was hoping she would say its my gallbladder/ pancreas. She said its hallmark celiac disease symptoms. She wants me to have a blood test tomorrow, and if thats negative go to the gastroenterologist. She will also test liver/ kidney etc. I haven't had any gluten for 1 week, with the exception of some soy sauce. My dr said my stomach is so inflamed that even though I haven't had gluten, if its celiac disease it might show up on the blood test. Separately, I had a test for celiac disease 3.5 years ago (colonoscopy/ endoscopy) which came back negative. To be fair, I didn't eat enough gluten beforehand. Please let me know your thoughts about the blood test. I'm wondering if I should gluten up and then do it, or just do it tomorrow since I've had issues with diarrhea all week, and if its negative have more tests/ gluten up.

      Blood Test Results(20yo): Celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on your test results (IgG ELISA: 106 units, IgA ELISA: 135 units, tTG: 251 units), all of which are well above the >30 units threshold for moderate to strong positive, there is a very high likelihood—as you noted—that you have celiac disease. While a biopsy was traditionally considered the gold standard for confirmation, your exceptionally elevated antibody levels, combined with your long-standing gluten sensitivity and strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, strongly support the diagnosis. Given that you’ve been gluten-free for 20 years, a biopsy now might not be reliable (since it requires gluten exposure to detect damage). Your assessment aligns with current understanding—many experts would consider these results diagnostic in the right clinical context. That said, if you ever needed formal confirmation (e.g., for medical documentation), a discussion with a gastroenterologist about potential gluten challenge testing (though challenging) could be an option. Regardless, your proactive approach to avoiding gluten is absolutely the right course! Thanks for sharing your experience—it’s a great example of how patient awareness and adherence can manage celiac effectively. There are benefits to not having a formal diagnosis, for example people with a formal diagnosis may face higher life insurance costs, as well as higher private health insurance costs.

      Blood Test Results(20yo): Celiac?

      By dfgray · Posted

      Hi Scott, I just came across your article regarding blood tests to determine celiac disease and wanted to thank you for writing it so clearly. Today I pulled out my 20 year old test results from Immumo labs and followed along as I reread the article.   I was first tested in April 2005. At the time I was told that I’m highly sensitive to gluten and must avoid but the practitioner would not say I had celiac disease without a biopsy to confirm.   Based on the information in the article, it looks like there’s a 97% chance that I have celiac disease [here are my results: IgG ELISA test :106 units; IgA ELISA: 135 units; tTG: 251units). The range for all the tests is: <20=negative, 20-30=week positive, >30units =moderate to strong positive]. Am I correct in my assessment? Is there any doubt that I have celiac? I’m not looking for medical advice but I’d love your opinion on this. I have eaten strictly gluten free for 20 years now and wouldn’t ever consider otherwise regardless. Thanks in advance, and thanks again for your article. Dana

      The description of their patented technology is quite vague, so I would say beware of it until you have more information.
