Hi-

My scalp has not been itchy since going gluten-free and switching to Fructis-a non-wheat containing shampoo. In the last week my scalp has become painfully sore, tight, and kinda itchy. Anyway I had it looked at and their was no underlying causes that the dr. could see so, they thought it my the Sodium Laurel Sulfate in my shampoo. I guess they use it clean engines!!!

Can anyone reccomend a gluten-free shampoo, not expensive, that does not contain SLS?

I've been using Burt's Bee's Color Keeper Shampoo. No SLS.

Oh yes-- I looked and looked. SLS is bad news for me too. Plus I have an allergy to sulfa drugs AND sulfites/ sulfates (so no wines or dried fruits). I think Sulpher can be super toxic.

You want:


Burt's bees (super shiny, color keeper-- look at labels)


Desert Essence (all are gluten-free, SLS free)


and LUSH! Lush is great. They have solid shampoo bars (and conditioners) that do not have SLS. These bars are really cool.

Good luck.

Which Fructis are you using? I ask because my husband picked up the wrong bottle once and the same thing happened to me. It wasn't a gluten thing but was obviously an issue of some kind because once I switched back it went away. I am using sleek & shine for dry hair (orange lablel).

Can you use TEA-Lauryl Sulfate?

I use gluten-free shampoo called DHS, but it has the above ingredient in it.

DHS is made by Person & Covey, Inc. of Glendale CA

Thanks for all of the quick replies! I too use the Fructis Sleek adn Shiny and never had a problem until now. (gluten-free for 11 months)

I seem to be discovering new "allergies" at this point. I'm also trying to narrow down why my stomach is sticking out again-I think it may be sugar but, I haven't ruled out any of the other usual suspects. (i.e. corn, nighthades, etc)

Interesting about the Fructis giving people problems.....I was using it for quite a while until recently. I think it was causing my eczema to flare up, so I stopped it and tried the Burt's Bee's--so far, so good.

The gluten-free/SLS-Free shampoos I'm aware of are:

This one doesn't list the ingredients on their site:

A lot of the Giovanni line is gluten free... except for the "golden wheat" variety ;) I used them for two years solid and loved it. They may have a lighter sulfate in them somewhere, but it's listed in the middle of the list and I never had any problems, whereas traditional body washes and shampoos really make me itch so bad.

I just checked, and my Tea Tree Triple Threat Shampoo lists an ingredient called Sodium C14-16 Olelin Sulfonate towards the middle-endish of the ingredient list. I have no idea what that is but it's the only thing listed that even resembles a sulfate. I do know I'm pretty sensitive to SLS and I've been using this shampoo for two years without any issues at all.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
