Gluten-Free Hairspray from Paul Mitchell

Last Updated on by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff Leave a Comment

Even though it has long been proven that gluten can not be absorbed through the skin, do you make sure your hairspray is gluten-free? Crystal of gluten-free Hub recently wrote about her favorite gluten-free hairspray, where she pointed out that sometimes hairspray can easily be inhaled on accident.

As a precaution, she recommends using a gluten-free hairspray from Paul Mitchell just to be safe:

I had some difficulty finding gluten-free hairspray, although this is clearly important given that it’s nearly impossible to avoid inhaling at least a little, and it can sometimes get in your mouth. I have tried a few gluten-free hairsprays, but Paul Mitchell Soft Spray is definitely my favorite. You can find it in many salons, some drug stores, and online. It has a nice, flexible hold without being crunchy. It also has a light, pleasant scent.

Do you make sure your hairspray is gluten-free?

Gluten-Free Tip: Buy Foods in Bulk Online!

Last Updated on by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff 4 Comments

One of the first things I hear from people when they are newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease is the shock at how expensive gluten-free foods can be. A big reason is that you have to go to specialty stores to get these foods, and these types of stores have a smaller market, so they have to charge higher prices to stay in business.

I think in time specialty stores will continue to become more popular and competition in the gluten-free foods market will continue to grow, which will ultimately force prices down to a more manageable level. In the meantime, I usually recommend people begin to plan ahead and do much of their gluten-free shopping online. Buying online, combined with buying in bulk, will go a long way toward keeping food expenses down!

Where Do I Buy Gluten-Free Foods Online?

In my experience, there are currently two great places to buy gluten-free foods online. The first is shopping at Amazon. Their prices are already the best online and you can get free shipping if you purchase $25.00 or more (easy to do if buying in bulk).

If you prefer having meals already made when they arrive at your door, then you’ll want to check out Gluten-Free Meals. Order online and when the food arrives, throw it in the freezer. It will be ready to eat whenever you don’t feel like cooking!

Where do you buy your gluten-free foods?  Online?  Health food store?  Let us know in the comments below!
