I bought some Herbal Essences shampoo yesterday, which says it is gluten free. Not having any problem with gluten myself I wonder if anyone is so sensitive to gluten they can't even tolerate it on their hair?

I've never knowingly had issues with my scalp, but if my OH has a sandwich at lunch, several days on the trot (I am lunch chef), then my hands, particularly my fingertips, become scaly if I don't wear food prep gloves.

If digestive, then yes, this is what my dietician said when I asked a question about kissing someone who had eaten gluten and it could still be on their lips, so could it make me ill, she said only if digested. I am coeliac and have seen tv adverts for this brand of shampoo and I had no idea gluten was actually in shampoo, I will take a look at the shampoo's I have at home.
Edited ; I see no reason why gluten should be in shampoo.

Have a look at wheat germ oil shampoo in google and you'll see plenty. Similarly many body lotion/hand creams contain it.
All good clean sport.
Hi there ! I'm new here, pleased to meet you everybody
I'm suffering from celiac disease and from a nickel allergy too. I mainly use nickel-free shampoo and, to tell the truth, I didn't know that gluten could be within such products...however, I haven't had any problems. I must also underline that celiac disease consist in an intolerance towards gluten, while a gluten allergy is totally something else. I think people tend to misunderstand this significant differenceConsists in* sorryHi there ! I'm new here, pleased to meet you everybody
Therefore, I think those who suffer from gluten allergy could have some problems with glutened shampoo....Hi there ! I'm new here, pleased to meet you everybody
Yes, I've just been using bar soap for shampoo and shaving for years now, and my skin and hair are in nice condition- that's including growing my hair to near shoulder length too, not just short.I get a number one clipper cut hair cut, and I use pure soap as a shampoo, could not see gluten mentioned.
Cheap as well...

In answer to the OP, yes, gluten intolerance and coeliac come in different sensitivities, depending on the person.
There are indeed people so sensitive that skin contact can cause a reaction, although the majority of NCGI (non-coeliac gluten intolerance) and coeliacs can tolerate some skin contact.
(I have heard of someone going into anaphylactic shock from walking through a flour mill and breathing in minute amounts of wheat flour in the air).
