Thank you for contacting us.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat,  rye, and barley. Although it is 
typically not added directly to our products, it  may be present in fragrances. Due to 
the difficulty of tracing the source  ingredients for the variety of 
fragrances used in manufacturing our products, we  can not provide specific levels of 
gluten content for any of our fragrance  blends.

Be aware that even products labeled "unscented" will still  contain a masking 
scent, therefore they may potentially contain gluten

If  you are wanting further information on Pantene products you would need to 
visit  their website, www.pantene.com or call 1-800-285-5170.

I have been able  to determine what foods I should or should not eat, but I 
am having difficulty  with getting difinitive answers regarding soaps, 
deodorants and shampoos. The  following answer from Pantene is a typical one that I've 
received from several  companies I've used in the past. With this answer, 
since my latest biopsy shows  I am getting gluten somehow, I am afraid to use 
almost anything. SOOO, if you  are a 'reactor' and therefore would probably know, 
what soaps, deodorants and  shampoos have you found 'safe'? Thank you in 
advance!
