Bath And Body Works

i know that certain products from bath and body works contain wheat or oats, but i was wondering if anyone uses any lotions or anything from them that do not contain gluten. OR do you not risk the cc issue?

thanks

happy new years everyone =)

i called them and they were very helpful on the phone about gluten-free status of products they had information for... but then i had three discontinued products and they were supposed to call me back when they figured it out but never did. so i decided that since i couldn't see WRBO in the ingredients, i'd use them sparingly -- one was Moonlight Path, and one was the Lavender Vanilla Sleep line, and i can't remember the other one. :( oh, wait, it was Very Merry Cranberry bubble bath. they told me my Kitchen Spice antibacterial soap was gluten-free and that the white tea and ginger antibacterial lotion was *not* (and then i looked at it and it said wheat germ oil or something like that, plain as day! :rolleyes:) i'm just out of it, i guess.

I love Moonlight Path, but it sets off an allergic reaction in me--the not breathing well, tearing, terrible headache type of reaction. I use their lotion and body sprays in White Tea and Ginger and Sweet Pea. I dont buy their soaps though. Deb

I can't speak for all the products, but I got rid of all their products b/c the ones I had all contained oat, and I wanted to stick with products that were all safe and all-natural.

I have the Vanilla Bean lotion and that is fine. I had 3 other items from them that contained oat or wheat though. Just read the label from what I have seen the offenders are clearly marked.

I'm super-duper-uber sensitive and I use their products all the time, including their lotion with oat protein in it. I wash my hands thoroughly before handling food though, so I don't know if cross contamination is an issue or not.

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE moonlight path! I have nearly every product in that fragrance-worn it sonce I was a kid! Love the wallflowers air freshener...... He he sorry. It's just one of my favorite things to smell :lol:

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
