HEY DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF gluten-free DANDRUFF SHAMPOOS TO TRY?

HEAD AND SHOULDERS DID NOT HELP,

NEITHER DID SELSEN BLUE.

NIZORAL IS NOT TESTED.

NEUTROGENA I DONT THINK IS SAFE?? I COULD NOT GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER OUT OF THEM.. THEY TOLD ME TO USE THE DAILY DANDRUFF SHAMPOO AND I HAD THE PHARMACIST READ THE LABEL- TOO SMALL FOR ME GOOD THING I DID BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE WHEAT PROTIENS WAS THE FRIST THING ON THE LIST

HELP!!!!!!! AND ITS BAD!

IT IS SO BAD THAT LAST WEEK A TEACHER BETWEEN CLASSES WENT TO THE SCHOOL NURSE AND TOLD HER THEY CALLED HER DOWN TO CK.. THE NURSE EVEN ASKED HER WHY WE WERE NOT TREATING IT AND MY DAUGHTER TOLD HER THAT WE HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS AND THAT NONE ARE HELPING! SO THE SEARCH CONTINUES. AND YES THE NURSE KNOWS THAT MY DAUGHTER IS gluten-free..

THE TEACHER MUST OF THOUGHT IT WAS BUGS! SHAME ON THEM.. I WAS SO ANGRY.. BUT ITS NOT LITTLE FLAKES- ITS ALMOST LIKE CHUNKS.. MY MUM SAYS IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE CRADLE CAP- I KNOW USE BABY OIL BUT I CAN NOT COVER HER ENTIRE HEAD WITH BABY OIL!!!

*SIGHS*

ANY IDEAS OUT THERE?? PLEASE???????????

Sounds like a description of my head, only I have psoriasis. I would take her to a dermatologist for help. All I know is that nothing helps my head, unfortunately. I have white scales like an albino alligator that flake off and fall around me so that I look like a white Pigpen in Peanuts, because I have to scrape them off or they drive me crazy :lol: I have tried all the shampoos, prescription and non-prescription; use a daily preparation (non-oily) from a dermatologist, and they just persist. Sorry to not be more optimistic, but I think a dermatologist should check her out.

I used Burt's Bees on my daughter, but... I found out she wasn't rinsing her hair well enough. A lot of what I thought was dandruff was dried shampoo! What we did for a while was to have her mix some baking powder through her hair prior to washing, to soak up the excess oil. Then shampoo for a full 60 seconds and rinse really well.

If this doesn't help, then you should talk her to a dermatologist. It could be some other problem.

THANKS THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO. BUT EVEN IF I WASH HER HAIR AND LET ME TELL YOU A 15 YO DOESNT WANT THAT.. IT DIDNT HELP ANY EITHER. I GUESS ITS TIME FOR THE DERMO.. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT SO BAD.. ITS LIKE CHUNKS!...

I agree that it sounds like psoriasis. T-gel Extra has helped me a lot. I can't say whether or not it's gluten-free, but it doesn't matter to me.

Thanks Richard,

I had tried the T-Gel on her.. it had helped somewhat, but her hair is so fine we could actually see damage happening.. and major amounts of hair breakage after use of 1x a week!.. But thanks for helping..

my 7 yr old boy had this, teachers would think it was lice before they looked closely. I read somewhere that it's often yeast-related. We have had good success clearing it up (still has a little, but much less and it's continually diminishing) with him eating spoonfuls of extra-virgin coconut oil and putting it on his skin and occasionally scalp after a shower and giving his hair a good brush when it's wet (to loosen). When I've put it on his scalp he looks like a little grease slick, so it gets washed out before leaving the house! It's expensive stuff, but quite delicious.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      What is the best liquid multivitamin for celiac disease?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
