Be Careful About Neutrogena Gluten-free Information

Recommended Posts

I had a long conversation with a customer service representative at Neutrogena about their coding of "gluten-free" products. Apparently, until very recently, they did not determine whether their products contain barley, rye or oats; they only checked for wheat. If a product did not contain wheat, they called it "gluten-free" -- even though they had no idea whether it contained barley, rye or oats. They are only now starting to verify the true gluten-free status of their products. So, if you call, some products will be coded as gluten-free in the rep's database, but the further information will say "free from wheat." This means that the product has not yet been verified to be free from rye, barley or oats. On the other hand, there are some products that will specifically say free from wheat, rye, barley and oats. Unfortunately, you have to ask the rep to give you this further information. I spoke with someone yesterday who told me that all sorts of products were gluten-free, when it turns out that they are only known to be wheat free. The rep I spoke with today was much more careful. (I'm optimistic that many of their products will indeed turn out to be gluten free -- but they can only confirm a small number for now.)

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
