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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
