Gluten-free Savonnerie

Hi Everyone - I was thinking about ordering some shampoo and such from the gluten-free Savonnerie. Has anyone used their products? If so, would you recommend them? I've been using California Baby, which I really like, but I also really like trying new stuff B) ...I don't want to order it though if it's not all that great...

Hi Mango--I've been using their stuff for a few months now. I am very happy with them. I use the shampoo, conditioner, lotion and premium bar soap. They are coming out with a hair styling spray--they're sending me a sample to try and give my opinion. The products have no scent at all--which I like. You need to use a lot of water with the shampoo--once you do, it lathers well. The shipping on a whole order (I'm in NJ) is 3.99--and I usually get it the next day if I order in the AM. I don't think the prices are bad, either--I used to spend more on the salon-type products I used.

We just started ordering a few weeks ago. We have the soap(bar and liquid) and the lotion. The lotion, in particular, was a godsend. I was desperate for lotion that was safe and didn't have a scent. My husband has terrible allergies and can't take things with scent. I am caring for little ones with celiac and my hands need to be gluten-free, so the lotion was a great match for us. I used the bar soap this morning and loved it! My husband even commented on enjoying the new soap, so it MUST be good! :)

I really like the bar soaps - don't dry my skin like some of the other natural bars. I think the lotion is nice - a little too much for my face, but good elsewhere. No scent at all, either. Decent prices, too.

Another happy customer here. I use the shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bar soaps and the liquid castile soap. My mom washed her hands at my house a few weeks ago with the liquid soap and loved it...she even asked me where I got it. I love the bar soaps...before this I used Cetaphil, I like these much better. I use the classic or premium bars. I've tried California Baby, and I like it too, but I think I like the GFS shampoo and conditioner a bit better. You can't beat their customer service...a very pleasant experience.

DITTO JERSEY!!!!

Mark the president of the co talked to me on the phone when i told him about my dried out hair problems.

He sent a a product free to try to see if it helped and wanted feed back.

It's an awesome company and the products last longer than others.

I don't like useing a bar soap personally so got the 9 oz liquid foaming soap and use in the shower.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT AND THE COMPANY.

Looking forward to testing to hair styling spray too. :lol:

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      Your story is one shared by many of us in the celiac community, Staci. Unfortunately, many of us lived for decades with celiac disease before we got a diagnosis and by then there was significant, sometimes irreversible, damage done to body systems. Fortunately, knowledge and awareness about celiac disease within the medical community and within the general public has improved significantly in the last couple of decades but there is still a long way to go. Too many physicians, especially those who have been out of medical school for many years, are pretty ignorant of the true prevalence and the range of symptoms associated with celiac disease. They are only looking for classic GI symptoms. May we ask your age? One thing that would be helpful for you would be to start taking some high potency vitamin and mineral supplements to compensate for the malabsorption problem created by long term undiagnosed celiac disease. I'm talking about more than just a multivitamin product. In situations like yours we commonly recommend the these supplements: sublingual B12, high-potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU D3 daily, magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. Make sure all are gluten free. This might be helpful in getting you off to a good start in eliminating gluten from your diet:  Do you have the option in your healthcare system of seeking out another physician who might be more current on celiac disease support?

      Son recently got diagnosed with Celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there are slim chances that his positive antibody ttg-ab IGA score is due to something besides celiac disease. But usually when that is the case, the antibody score is a weak positive.  But consider the dilemma you will be in if your son goes gluten free now and there is a good amount of time that elapses before the biopsy (if the GI specialist wants to do that) and the biopsy is negative. You then will be presented with conflicting test results. Which will you believe? From the article I linked in my first post, concerning the reliability of the ttg-ab IGA serum test for celiac disease:  The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease.

      Thanks @trents We are still working on accepting that he has to be gluten free all his life. And this reality is also hitting him badly.  As this was only the serum based results and biopsy hasn't been done yet, are there any slim chances that he might NOT have Celiac disease? I've messaged his doctor to confirm one more time if he should go gluten free now or wait until he sees specialist. Thanks.

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      By jjiillee · Posted

      My daughter,17 was getting stomach pains off and on for months. Went to pediatrician, bloodwork came back showing TTG-IGA 5.3 weak positive. Told to follow up with gastroenterology, continue to eat gluten. Can’t get appoint until end of Jan (we are on waitlist also), called back because she was still getting pains and nurse said to let her try to go gluten free for a few weeks and see if she feels better. She does feel better. My question is should I let her stay gluten free until the end of January and see what the Gastro says? I know she will have to be eating gluten before she has any further testing, but that is likely months away at this point.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Pat Denman · Posted

      Many years ago, there was a doctor who recommended never eating the same food within 5 days. Also recommended greens only 2X per week. Can't remember his name. Dx Celiac at age 87 by self as where I live in the northwest of Idaho, there is no medical insurance which covers Celiac disease or even will pay for tests!
