Has anyone had a reaction to frizz ease? My head has erupted and I feel like I have had a reaction but not eaten anything to my knowledge, when I checked the label it states wheat as an ingredient!!!

Sorry Lynne. You may be throwing your frizz ease out. I have just gone through a kind of crisis like this myself.

If it helps, I have found two things that work for my frizzy hair: 1. Korres almond leave-in conditioner spray (gluten free) 2. spritzing on flower hydrosol water from either 100% pure or the Edgar Casey brand (they have rose, lilac, sandalwood and jasmine! I like the lilac the best) I put it on after the hair is dry and smooth/scronch it into shape. I do not have super frizzy hair, but I get tons of those fly-aways that make me look like I'm wearing a halo if I blow dry.

I wish you luck. If you find something good, please share....

Johnson's & Johnson's Kids Detangling spray ( a little heavy ) is what I use on my hair before I blow dry and it helps with the crazy hair that just does its thing.

Wow . . .thats creepy . . . i was starting to wonder if I had lice because my head was itching so much . . . I'd been using the aussie hair insurance, which is cheaper than frizz-ease and detangles fine but basically makes my hair flat and greasy. I recently threw that away, and for a while i was using System Proffesional Hydro Milk by Wella, which i'd gotten from a hair dresser over a year ago. I love it but its really expensive. So I'd switched to an old tube of Strictly Curls, by Marc Anthony, which i've been getting at CVS but hadnt used in a while . . i wonder if that could be causing my itchies? Cuz no one else has it, and generally i'd expect to get lice from one of my kids.

      Getting sick much more often

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in essential vitamins and minerals needed for that immune response.  Hence you have more infections and worse symptoms now.   For strong immune responses, our bodies need vitamins and minerals that may be lacking on the gluten free diet.  Supplementing with essential nutrients boosts our ability to absorb the vitamins and minerals while our intestinal villi are healing in the first few years of recovery.   Many are low in vitamins and minerals that help our immune system, like Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, the eight B vitamins, especially Thiamine, selenium, and magnesium.   Have you talked to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals?   Correcting nutritional deficiencies is frequently overlooked after diagnosis.

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.
