Needing a New Shampoo

[Austin.H]

Hello! I'm needing to get a new shampoo and have found a couple that I like however one contains Avena Sativa (Oat) Bran and the other contains Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract. I know due to how things are processed oats can contain gluten/become cross contaminated. Are either of these ingredients something I should stay away from or should it be safe?

Any input would be greatly appreciated! I'm also open to shampoo suggestions! Haha

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, Austin. I'm not sure if you are aware of this but it's not uncommon for celiacs to react to the protein in oats (avenin) like they do gluten. The two are similar in structure. Can you eat gluten free oats without a problem? Now, I'm not sure if this would be an issue in epidermal contact for this subset of celiacs. So, what I'm saying is that cross contamination may not be the only issue.

Hey there! So I honestly haven't tried oats in a loooong time. My diet is pretty restricted and will be working on introducing foods back into my diet this fall/winter. But I thought at some point my original doctor I was seeing said that oats could set celiac's off, which is why it threw up a flag and I figured I'd ask. So since that's the case, I'll move on and see if I can find a good one without that. Haha 

Thank you!
