These are found in shampoos, soaps etc to give it a lather. I get welps on my upper body and head after using. Does anyone have this problem or have product reccomendations? I bought an organic shampoo without it but it not that great but the itching is gone. LindaLee

I get red rash on my scalp and shoulders from my shampoo, I never did try to figure out why though.

It seems to go away once I am dried off.... it's rather confusing to me.

Some of the SLS free products I use are--

California Baby--all of their products are SLS free and gluten-free

Shikai Shampoo & Conditioner--not all their products are gluten-free

Jason Showersilk--not all their products are gluten-free

Jason Supersmile Toothpaste--company will clearly list gluten

It is difficult to find products that are both SLS and gluten-free. I've spent hours reading labels :D The benefit for me is that my sensitive skin is much better. I had an eczema-like condition on my eyelid that did not respond to diet changes, allergy meds or Rx steriod cream. Nothing worked for very long--after years of this, it is now gone :)

SLS is a known carcinogen and should be avoided by everyone. I never use anything with it (read toothpaste, shampoo, etc.)

Watch out for antacids - like Pepcid Complete - they also have SLS. I was reading the label looking for gluten the other day while putting green dots on all gluten-free things in the cupboard, and saw the SLS. I didn't dot it.

I get a few red blotches after using it. I finally figured it out after all these years. The bumps and itching on my hairline and head was severe and happened around the time my stomach broke out and itched like crazy - I think that was the gluten in the products and foods. It went away after some oil of oregano. Between the stomach and the head I was an itching mess. The shampoo I am using now doesn't have the sls in it but I do get a small blotch here and there afterwards. Trying to find one that doesn't cause a reaction. LindaLee

I think I'll try the caifornia baby where do you get it? Health food store? Thanks, LindaLee

Oh my gosh! I never connected the two, but my rosacea has also gotten better lately. I was just telling my sister yesterday (we live in different states, so she hasn't seen me) that my face is not nearly as red. My face wash has been SLS free, but not my shampoo and conditioner until recently. With that stuff running down my face, it's no wonder. Thanks, Mamaw!

omg I didn't connect it either, I have pretty bad Rosacea especially in the summer time, I bet you are right. Thanks, everything is making much more sense now.

This is so intriguing to me. I can't believe how much toxic junk is hidden in our body care products. I've been switching to more organic brands lately and all sorts of weird skin problems I have have been going away.....

I've been using Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta shampoo. I actually really like it, especially compared to other natural shampoos I've tried. Last night I bought some Giovanni conditioner from my co-op (because it was dirt cheap on sale :) ) and I like it so far.

Aubrey Organics E Plus High C deodorant is great too. It really works!!!!!

I'm also a big fan of Jason stuff....

I forgot to list my facial cleanser--I'm using (and like very much) Zia Moisturizing Cleanser. It's for normal/dry skin. It's detergent-free.

I have not found a bar-type body soap that is SLS and gluten-free.

You might want to check into Aubrey Organics skin care products if you haven't already. www.aubrey-organics.com I honestly don't know for a fact whether its free of sls, but the ingredients are pretty straight forward and the company would probably tell you. They point out on their website that the grain alcohol they use is gluten-free. I recently started using the shampoo, deodorant and the face mask for oily skin and I love it all so far! I have crazy super sensitive skin and react to most stuff...but so far so good with this product.

As far as Sodium Laurel Sulfate being in a product, it is always listed as such on the ingredient list. It's almost always the first or second ingredient.

Ingredients are Saponified Olive Oil, Water, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid

Or are those hidden words for SLS? I honestly don't know :unsure:

I love this soap. However, keep it out of the flow of your shower water when you're not using it. I mean, if you've got a hanging shower caddy that hangs from your shower head, you might find your soap disintigrates quickly. Good stuff, though.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
