I've found some posts on natural, aluminum-free deodorants which I think I will try, but I can't find anywhere that states if regular antiperspirants/deodorants contain gluten?

I use Men's Speed Stick Fresh Antiperspirant/Deodorant and Yes, I am sensitive to topical gluten containing products. I'm waiting for response from Colgate-Pamolive. Anyone else know? Since going gluten-free I'm noticing increased hair loss when hair falling was a major problem BEFORE going gluten-free. I'm looking for hidden gluten. Already eliminated shampoo/cond, lotion, makeup and facial products... feel so much better (no itching) but can't find cause for increased hair loss.

Ingredients:

cyclomethicone, stearyl alcohol, mineral oil, talc, hydrogenated castor oil, PPG-14 butyl ether, fragrance, steareth-100, steareth-2, behenyl alchol

Thank you.

I have been gluten free for 8 yrs and have always used Speed Stick for Women--it doesn't bother me!
