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.

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
