I wrote to Suave to see if any of their products are gluten free. I found their answer interesting:

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for writing!

We do not specifically test our products for the presence of gluten, a sticky protein found in some grains such as wheat. Gluten may be present in products that contain derivatives of wheat, oat, rye, and barley. In labeling our products, our company follows the guidelines established by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI)process. Therefore, if we use an ingredient derived from a grain such as wheat, oat, rye and / or barley, those names will appear on the label.

Example

One common example is "Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein" If you see this name on the label, the material was derived from wheat, so the product may contain gluten.

We recommend that you consult with your physician as to whether your exposure to grain derivatives from the use of personal care products will cause the symptoms of Celiac-Sprue Disease.

We hope this information is helpful,

Your friends at Suave

Suave must be owned by unilever. That was the same response someone got about dove products.

Yeah, I got something of the same answer. I wrote back Hi! Thanks for getting back to me!! I wish you wouldn't be so perky when you are talking about something which can ultimately lead to my death. Gluten destroys a portion of my brain, and I wish that your company, being responsible to its consumers, would investigate further whether you buy ingredients from your suppliers which contain gluten. Thank you for your vague and incomplete answer! Hope they got the message . . . I also asked them NOT to add an advertisement for me to purchase yet another one of their products, given that they REALLY don't care much about my health. What can I say, I was in a bad mood . . . . . :huh: Lynne

Hmmmm.

I have been using Suave as the label looks ok. But my hair has been falling out a lot again. So I am not sure if it is from shampoo again (this happened when I was using shampoo with wheat in it) or if I could have a thyroid issue. I need to get that checked out.

Thanks

Becky

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @badastronaut, I reread your last post on your previous thread... "Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly elevated. I have been doing a gluten free diet quite strict although I did eat some gluten in the previous weeks.  "Could my blood result be this way because of gluten sensitivity and me being not strict enough? My echo showed no problems with my liver or pancreas. My bile ducts were fine too (although I don't have a gallbladder anymore).  "What to do??? Could this be gluten related?"   Your bilirubin is high.  The liver breaks down bilirubin.  The liver needs Thiamine to break down bilirubin.  Without sufficient Thiamine, bilirubin is not broken down and escapes into the bloodstream. High levels of bilirubin suppress the immune system.  High levels of bilirubin suppress the production of white blood cells, including anti-gluten antibodies.  The suppression of your immune system by high bilirubin could be the explanation for false negative Celiac antibody testing.  Thiamine is needed for antibody production.  Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac antibody tests.  If you are not making a lot of antibodies, you won't have much damage to the small intestine.   Your ALT is high.  The liver produces ALT.  When the liver does not have sufficient Thiamine, the liver produces more ALT that escapes into the bloodstream.  Elevated ALT is seen in thiamine deficiency. Your Lipase is high.  Lipase is produced in the liver and pancreas.  More Lipase is released by both in thiamine deficiency. Your gallbladder has been removed.  Gallbladder dysfunction is common in thiamine deficiency. Your Zinc is low.  Zinc absorption is enhanced when Thiamine is present.  Zinc is not absorbed well in thiamine deficiency. Your Folate is low.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients we need for health, the eight B vitamins, including Thiamine, the four fat soluble vitamin, Vitamin C and minerals like Zinc and Magnesium.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three weeks or even as quickly as three days.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can wax and wane depending on how much thiamine is consumed that day.   If a high carbohydrate is eaten regularly, additional Thiamine is needed (500 mg per 1000 calories). Anxiety and depression are symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  The brain just thinking  uses as much thiamine as muscles do when running a marathon.   I have had thiamine deficiency symptoms like you are experiencing.  My doctors did not recognize the symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  They just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover up the symptoms which only made things worse.  I had a lot of nutritional deficiencies.  I ended up getting a DNA test to check for known genes for Celiac.  I have two Celiac genes.   Have you had a DNA test for Celiac genes?   I took Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing, and a B Complex to correct my deficiencies.   High doses of thiamine need to be taken to correct deficiency.  Talk to your doctor about administering thiamine intravenously.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine is easily excreted in urine if not needed.  Improvement of symptoms should be seen within a few hours to a few days.  No harm in trying.  Process of elimination, etc.   Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Testing for nutritional deficiencies should be done before taking vitamin supplements, otherwise the vitamin supplements already taken will be measured.   I hope this helps you on your journey.

      Long term recovery

      By James47 · Posted

      Hey everyone I hope all are well and having a good 2025 so far. I am 50 this year and I only got diagnosed with celiac in June 2023. I have followed my diet to the letter since and they said after so many years undiagnosed it would take a long time to recover. Although I feel I have lot more energy and health and wellbeing is a lot better I still have severe gluten belly even though I work out daily and have a physical job. Any advice or info of anything else I can do would be greatly appreciated 👍 👍

      Just got Celiac blood test results back and they seem crazy high!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @TexasCeliacNewbie! The test results you posted strongly point to celiac disease. It is likely that your physician will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the results of the celiac antibody bloodwork results you just posted. It is important that you not cut back on gluten consumption until the endoscopy/biopsy is complete, assuming, that is, one is forthcoming.  Can you post the actual reference ranges used by the lab for the tests to determine positive/negative/normal/high/low? Scales used by these labs are different from one place to the other so the raw numbers don't mean much without the scale used by the lab. There aren't industry standards for this. By the way, you probably won't be able to edit the original post so please post the extra info in new post. May we ask about the cancer you mentioned? There are some things that can elevate the antibody test scores, at least mildly, besides celiac disease.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me that otherwise are worrying me that my previous cancer is recurring.  Thank you for all of your expertise in this area! Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High)
