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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
