Avon?

Does Avon have a current gluten-free list? I'm looking for a skin care system. Wash, toner, cream, eye cream, etc. I've been using the Arbonne Intelligence system but the actual wash isn't on their gluten-free list, just the toner & creams are.

(I saw on Delphi, their list of Avon products- there were TONS TONS TONS- could this be true? Even their mascara and lipstick?!!!)

Thanks! :-)

Don't quote me, from what I know Avon stopped issuing a gluten-free list and now

wants you to call their Customer Service number everytime you need to know

if something is gluten free.

This being said, I called them to test them about a year ago. I called

their Customer Service line and deliberately asked if their body lotion which

had oat in it was gluten-free. They answered "yes, it's gluten-free." I think the Cust Service

people just read the ingredients and if it doesn't specifially say "gluten" as

an ingredient, then they tell you it's "gluten free." That's just my take on

this test.

Avon does no longer issue lists. Their customer service number no longer gives information other that "you need to talk to you doctor before you start using any new products". If you go through an Avon representative, they can get all the information without problems. We have a rep in the area here that is also gluten intolerant, and she has been an awesome help. I have slowly been switching everything back to Avon. They have tons of stuff we can safely use.

Good to hear that there's someone who will answer on behalf of Avon, but

it would be better to hear it from corporate.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
