Reactions To Melaleuca Access Exercise Bars


Minimaschola

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had reactions from Melaleuca's Access Exercise bars?

 

 I loved these bars and they are listed on their website under "gluten-free" but I have been getting reactions from them even after eating nothing else to try and identify the source of my reactions.  (My immediate reactions are the churning in the gut about 1 to 2 hours after eating which results in loose stools/diarrhea along with a grogginess and intense sleepiness later in the day)

 

I have tried to search on the internet for other's experiences but have been unsuccessful.

 

Thanks for sharing!

I just looked at the ingredients for one flavor and the third ingredient is malitol. I stopped right there. Malitol has a lot of gut side effects in many people, including me.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
