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.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, it does make sense to continue the gluten challenge as long as you are already in the middle of it. But what will change if you rule it out? I mean, you have concluded that whatever label you want to give the condition, many of your symptoms improved when you went gluten free. Am I correct in that? According to how I understand your posting, the only symptom that hasn't responded to gluten free eating is the bone demineralization. Did I misunderstand? And if you do test positive, what will you do different than you are doing now? You have already been doing for years the main thing you should be doing and that is eating gluten free. Concerning how long you should stay on the gluten challenge, how many weeks are you into it already?

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.
