I am looking for gluten-free shampoo and conditioner that is not tested on animals. Does anyone know of any?

Hi--

I really like Shikai Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner.

These are gluten-free, plant based, no animal ingredients and no animal testing.

I won't use products anymore that are tested on animals :)

On another note, do you use gluten-free non-animal tested make-up, Patti?

I tend to use either shikai or one of trader joe's botanical ones.

(don't know about makeup - I don't wear it.)

I use Shi Kai...and for skin care I use MyChelle. (they don't do makeup however; but all their skincare products are gluten-free) Smashbox makes all gluten-free makeup, but it is only available in department stores (I live 90 miles from nearest source)...use it anyhow, though. Actually, I don't know if they do animal experiements or not...I don't think so...but I'll have to doublecheck. Check out My Chelle, though.

Alba Botanicals is not animal tested. You have to check the ingredients for gluten. I haven't got sick from their products. John Paul Mitchell is not animal tested, but some of his stuff has gluten in it. Kiss My Face has a list of their gluten-containing products and they are animal friendly.

Yes--I use Bare Escentuals, which is not tested on animals. I've used this line since long before I was diagnosed with Celiac.

No, I hadn't seen that site :)

I buy mine at either Whole Foods or Wegmans.

Not all of their products are gluten-free. If I remember correctly, the bath gels are not, and possibly some others. When I called the company, I was told that the hair products were all gluten-free.

Ck out leaping bunny: Open Original Shared Link This org investigates products and marks them with their logo if animals are not harmed, tested in production etc. There are some lists on this site of safe products. I use Aubrey Organics for shampoo, it has the leaping bunny...

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Hi Phosphone, did you ever figure out what elevated your DGP?  I am in the same boat.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
