Feria Extreme Platinum hair dye glutening

I just found out a month ago that I have Celiac disease. I happen to be an incredibly sensitive case. I have removed absolutely everything gluten inside my house including all of my cookware and replaced it all.

I did that as well with everything in my bathroom cupboards. The only thing I didn't think about was my hair dye. I did a quick Google search about Feria extreme platinum hair dye and they say that it is gluten-free on a research that I have looked at.

I can promise you it is not gluten-free. I have a head full of dermatitis herpetiformis, my hands are also breaking out where the dye has touched my skin. I got insanely dizzy within 10 minutes of applying it. And my scalp feels like it's on fire.

My ears are so red and hurt so much. I quickly washed my hair with gluten-free shampoo and then put gluten-free conditioner in. Luckily the pain is starting to subside. I also had a hard time breathing for a while.I can assure you there must be gluten in this product. I encourage everyone to stay away from it if you are sensitive.

Are there any products that others have tried that work without giving them a reaction? I would really like to know from people who happen to be super sensitive as well. Thank you so much for any information you can provide.

Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you got DH from your hair dye.

I am also very sensitive. I color my hair at home using henna from Mehandi.com. I personally use the henna for gray hair medium brown kit as it covers gray hair best. Mix the henna with separate acidic powder at night. The next day wash your hair with shampoo only. Then prepare the indigo paste. Mix both henna and indigo together and apply. Leave it in for four hours. Wash out with conditioner only. I wait two full days before using a normal shampoo with conditioner so the henna/indigo really takes. My scalp gets a little itchy from the residue for those two days, and then it dissipates. No allergic/celiac reaction at all.

Thank you for all that fantastic information. I'm definitely going to look that up next time I go to get a dye box. Certainly is extremely helpful.

I forgot to mention that when you mix the henna with the acid powder use filtered water, and the next day when you prepare the indigo powder, add a teaspoon of salt with more filtered water. The salt makes the indigo work better. Then combine both batches.

      Should I get a second opinion?

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      Hello. I apologize. I didn't know there wasn't a standard. The standard listed for the IGA is normal range 47-310. The others were all listed as <15.0 u/l is antibody not detected and 15> antibody is detected. And the negative one the standard is negative. It is a normal PCP dr.

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      It is also possible that since eating the fries you have been glutened again during the week. I would double check the food in your cupboard and reread the ingredient lists. Food companies can and do change their formulations from time to time such that something that used to be gluten free is no more. What I am saying is, don't assume the distress you are...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives for the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference...

      Should I get a second opinion?

      I apologize i can't figure out how to get the picture on here. Results were: IGA 401mg/dl Deamidated Gliadin IGG. <1.0 Deamidated Gliadin IGA. <1.0 Tissue Transglutaminase IGA AB. <1.0 Endomysial IGA. Negative. Is she just going based off of the IGA alone? And because that is elevated, it's positive? The test...

Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.

      Hello. I apologize. I didn't know there wasn't a standard.  The standard listed  for the IGA is normal range 47-310.  The others were all listed as <15.0 u/l is antibody not detected and 15> antibody is detected.  And the negative one the standard is negative.  It is a normal PCP dr. I do have a second opinion appt scheduled with a GI specialist in 2 weeks. Honestly, I haven't cut out gluten at all. I just switched to whole fibers and everything has been getting better. She wanted to do the test just to check, which I was fine with. We'll see what the GI dr says. Thank you for commenting.

Food companies can and do change their formulations from time to time such that something that used to be gluten free is no more. What I am saying is, don't assume the distress you are experiencing comes from one incident of glutening. There could, coincidentally, be another one on it's heels.

      Welcome to the forum, @shell504! The IGA 401mg/dl is not a test for celiac disease per se but a check to see if you are IGA deficient. People who are IGA deficient will produce celiac blood test antibody scores that are artificially low which can result in false negatives for the individual antibody tests such as the TTG IGA. You did not include reference ranges along with the test scores and since each laboratory uses custom reference range scales, we cannot comment with certainty, but from the sheer magnitude of the IGA score (401) it does not look like you are IGA deficient. And since there are no annotations indicating that the other test scores are out of range, it does not appear there is any antibody evidence that you have celiac disease. So, I think you are warranted in questioning your physician's dx of celiac disease. And it is also true that a colonoscopy cannot be used to dx celiac disease. The endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel is the appropriate procedure for diagnosing celiac disease. But unless there is a positive in the antibody testing, there is usually no justification for doing the endoscopy/biopsy. Is this physician a PCP or a GI doc? I think I would ask for a second opinion. It seems as though this physician is not very knowledgeable about celiac disease diagnositcs. Having said all that, it may be that you suffer from NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease. The two gluten disorders share many of the same GI symptoms. The difference is that NCGS does not damage the villous lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. The antidote for both is complete abstinence from gluten. Some experts believe NCGS can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. There is not test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. So, if it becomes apparent that gluten is causing distress and testing rules out celiac disease, then the diagnosis would be NCGS. Hope this helps.
