Do You Feel Safe Coloring Your Hair

I started this as another question in the product forum.

I am going to get my hair done at my salon for the first time since my DX. I need to get it toned down, its a semi permanent color. And it does have a wheat protein, a few places/people i asked said that they get their hair colored all the time at the salon with no ill effect. (with the wheat in the product)

My question is would you feel safe doing it?

Im not quite sure how the color works, would the wheat protein wash off when they rinse the color?

I feel pretty safe, although when it comes to getting my hair done, I think my vanity outweighs my safety.

Last time I got my hair colored, I seemed to be ok. I go to an Aveda salon.

I'm with ChelsE! I have my hair colored and just don't ask questions.....if it does have wheat in it, then I'd just be paranoid and getting my hair colored! :lol: Vanity before comfort.....I wear uncomfortable shoes for that conviction....might as well risk CC once every 6 weeks too! :D

I am someone who is very concerned about this, especially with a semipermanent color that rinses out a bit at a time. I will get a rash and my hair falls out from this sort of thing so I use a verified gluten free product at home when I color. The last time I used Loreal colorspa. I believe a couple of their others are safe but a couple are not. I check with everything. Not worth the risk of long term CC as it rinses out for me.

You get a rash?? Do you have a skin reaction to wheat maybe? In your case i would be cautious, but ive never had a problem with color before. so im kinda torn as to what to do???

I don't know if my color is gluten-free or not, but I haven't had a reaction. I do get a rash on my scalp if I use a shampoo with wheat in it; I don't really know why as I thought we had to ingest the gluten for a reaction.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      Mucus discharge

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.
