Beware....gluten In Hand Sanitizer


Macbre

Recommended Posts

I have been using a pocket size hand sanitizer from Bath & Body works since Oct. and did not realize that it has "wheat amino acids" in it. I happened to look at the inactive ingredients today just to show my mother that it was safe....and what do I find....WHEAT!! That definitly explains why I get CC and can't figure out what it's from. I only use it occasionally, but I can tell you there are definitly times I eat and know that what I'm eating is okay, but end up sick anyway.....now I realize it's probably after I have used this product.

Just wanted to share so others could avoid the same issue. I would never have imagined hand sanitizer being a NO, NO.

I hate Bath and Body works because of that. I had some soap that contained wheat gluten from there. Most of the lotions have oats. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That's good info to know. I wonder if their candles contain some type of gluten. I burn them in my house on a regular basis.

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.
