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.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
