Have you been eating gluten free but still find you're not feeling well? Many hair products and lotions contain wheat in them. Shampoos, conditioners, hair treatments, and leave-in conditioners may have wheat as one of their ingredients. Since these products are absorbed by the scalp or skin which will go into the bloodstream, it can cause wheat or gluten allergies to act up.
With my new skin-care biz, someone just asked me that, in fact! I should have thought about it too because I have an allergy to a preservative that is found in shampoos and conditioners and have such a horrible time finding products that don't aggravate my skin! (Aveeno is now what I use, fyi!) You definitely, definitely need to think about what you put onto your skin for exactly those reasons! Think of us like frogs..what goes on our skin, gets absorbed to some degree into our body (just frogs are WAY more susceptible!). Thanks for sharing this!
