Last night my order for shampoo & conditioner came. I was SO looking forward to using my favorite product AND then I read the label. It contains wheat (encase you haven't heard I'm allergic to wheat).

I am a distributor for the products that I had purchased so I got online and did some research. The company has this listed as gluten free even though it contains wheat. Needless to say I emailed them about this matter.

This got me into doing even more research and I came across this:
"IgE antibodies can also “cross react “with other allergens. For example, someone with a latex allergy may also react after eating a banana, kiwi fruit or avocado. According to allergy specialist Professor Rohan Ameratunga, up to 50 per cent of people who react to one tree nut (including almonds, brazil nuts, Cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) will react to other tree nuts."

I have a latex allergy as well & have been finding that banana, kiwi fruit or avocados have any effect on me as well. Honestly I thought I was just crazy but THIS TOTALLY MAKES SENSE! No one had EVER explained this to me before. This was my aahh-haaa moment for the day.
