Arbonne.......there Has To Be Gluten!

I have been looking for gluten-free cosmetics and finally bought Arbonne. I understood most of their products were gluten free. I carefully bought from that list with the help of the rep, at my home. Then I began to have glutened episodes and by process of elimination, it was down to the Arbonne...... the lipstick.......I think. I then read, at the very bottom of the list, "Products are not from a gluten-free manufacturer." Has anyone else had this kind of experience with labels and reactions, and if so, how do I KNOW that a product is truly gluten-free, even from cross-contamination? I'm so tired of getting glutened when I try so hard. I believe that some of these companies think they can fool the public with the gluten-free label, but they can't fool a celiac. Sorry, I'm just a little grumpy.

I've never had an issue with their lipstick. When I wore Avon lipstick hubby would have gluten attacks, when I switched to Arbonne, he hasn't had one since.

I have also looked into Arbonne and wore their product for a long time. I had a problem with the lip stick,but I also have an allergy to nuts. I found that the lip sticks have a sort of nut oil in them that gave me problems. I wonder though...it could also be from the gluten. I have a friend that actually sells Arbonne. She called the company and they told her that they are gluten-free. I couldn't see how if they list "tocopopyl acetate" as an ingredient. That is a known gluten agent. I have since learned that this ingredient can be made out of soy. This is actually why I joined this forum to begin with. I am wondering about their products as well. They say that they are gluten-free...but I am not sure that I totally buy it. I have also read that skin care and cosmetics are not regulated like food where there is a law in place that food HAS to be tested to make sure that they are gluten-free. IDK...can anyone help me unravel this massive puzzle in my head about this subject too?? I appreciate your time and attention. :D

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
