And last, but not least, we have Origins. They wrote once asking for specific product names. I wrote back with a list. And I got this reply yet again. Perhaps it is a dodge. Their reply:

Thank you for your interest in Origins.

As you may know, our product line is quite extensive. Therefore, in order

to respond to your inquiry regarding gluten, we need to know the exact name

of the product(s) which you use or would be interested in using. We will

then consult our laboratories and share our findings with you.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. Should you have any

further questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to

having you visit your favorite Origins location in the near future, and

hope you will continue to look to Origins for product honesty, performance

and concern for the environment.

Sincerely,

Katie Morton

At this point, I will see if they respond to the list I gave them, but I doubt it.

It strikes me that companies that can easily say if a product or whole line is gluten free or not are probably better bets for us than companies that hedge or dodge or can't identify gluten-containing ingredients.

Maybe it is best to have a few more expensive but safe things than a whole basketful of iffy products. My recent bad glutening from lip-gloss has really made me think about this in a new light.

Origins update--

After twice sending them a list of specific products, I was sent a third, identical reply asking me to specify.

At the end of their email, there is a BOLD CAPS paragraph saying that any information disclosed may not be disseminated. I think that speaks for itself right there.

I will consider orgins a write-off. Into the trash go their products...

Bad information!

Based on th4e email from Caudalie, I ordered a bottle of their shampoo. It has wheat protein in it.

I am hopping mad at them! Now I have to return the bottle and pay the postage because they told me wrong. The shampoo is NOT okay. :angry:

It looks like this company doesn't know what gluten is and the rep was just looking for the ingredient 'gluten' in the products. Sometimes I get a better result by asking if the products have any 'wheat, rye, barley or oat derived ingredients' including oils and alcohols. It also helps if you have a UPC number to give them, that way they think you have already bought the product. I agree really appretiate your posting their replies, it is very helpful.

I wrote Caudalie about the problem and here is the response I received. Their response is very enlightening, but also worrisome for us in terms of foreign gluten-free certification. As with Weleda, who is certified gluten free according to the German celiac association standards, these terms can vary a great deal.

I am not going to use the shampoo-- and to return it costs aslmost as much as buying it in the first place.

Good Morning Lisa,

I am so glad you brought this information to my attention regarding the wheat protein listing on our shampoo.

Now in 2005, CAUDALIE received certification in France as a gluten-free skin care line. That is why I answered your email the way I did. Apparently the French consider the percentage of wheat protein found in only 3 of our products not enough to disqualify our gluten-free status. When you brought the shampoo listing to my attention, I also found wheat to be listed in 2 face creams

Pretty much everything from Clarins has gluten! I have new products I bought over the summer and it is too late to return them. What a waste. I hate Clarins!

Yes, true. I have been thinking of which friend could use them.

I wasn't feeling well on Friday and I couldn't figure out anything wrong I ate. But my head was heavy full and I was lethargic and couldn't get up in the morning. Later, I slept in a waiting room. I am usually very alert even when I am sleep deprived. I came to the realization I had put plenty of night cream on Thursday night, something i haven't done for so long. At least, now I know. I used to have sleep attacks and would not know why.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
    • nanny marley
      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again 
    • trents
      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
