I researched the MK Gluten issue, and the letter I got from them suggested I avoid MOST of their products because they couldn't be sure about the source of the ingredient. So, I narrowed it down to 5 products that I wouldn't use based on gluten. But, for you to have all of the information, here is the list they sent me. (I put the ingredient that they felt might have gluten in parenthesis).

Thanks! I've been wondering. I don't have a high sensitivity, so'll finish what I have, but change over as I run out.

It's disturbing that Mary Kay would think things that some of those items contain gluten ... like maltodextrin, vegetable oil, citric acid, etc. Seems easier to just use another brand!

Yeah, I do now. Not because of gluten, but because I have become disgusted with MLM and Direct Selling companies like MK and A.rbonne. See how the above poster has listed the A.rbonne list in THREE MK topics instead of starting an Lame Advertisement thread? It is ruthless. Whatever. I am buying from the stores these days! :)

(NOTE:A.rbonne post was removed, I am not crazy! LOL)

Yes, she's posting EVERYWHERE! Last I looked, I didn't see any moderators on the board, but two are here now, so maybe they'll take care of it.

Do you know if the SPF 30 sunscreen is gluten-free? And the timewise moisterizer and time wise 3 n 1 cleanser is also gluten-free? My MK rep doesn't seem to know and I can't seem to get through to the company on the phone.

thanks.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
