Is Trader Joe's Cucumber Avocado Body Butter Gluten Free?


Nina G

Recommended Posts

Nina G Rookie

I was given a jar of Trader Joe's Cucumber Avocado Body Butter. My hands are really dry from the winter cold and I thought of opening it and using it. But Trader Joe's doesn't list gluten or gluten free under its list of ingredients. Many of the ingredients are in latin I think. Here is the list: WATER (AQUA), GLYCERIN, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, OCTYLDODECYL OLIVATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, ISOPROPYL PALMITATE, CETYL ALCOHOL, GLYCERYL DISTEARATE, GLYCERYL MONOSTEARATE, PERSEA GRATISSIMA (AVOCADO) OIL, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) STEROLS, SODIUM HYALURONATE, VEGETABLE OIL, SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL BETA-GLUCAN, ELAEIS GUINEENSIS (PALM) BUTTER, PUNICA GRANATUM FRUIT JUICE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, LACTIC ACID, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, SODIUM LACTATE, CARNOSINE, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, STEARIC ACID, POTASSIUM STEARATE, CETEARETH-20, C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, DISODIUM EDTA, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, PHENOXYETHANOL, LINALOOL, BENZYL SALICYLATE, HEXYL CINNAMAL, LIMONENE, FRAGRANCE.  Do you know if any of these ingredients are unsafe?

Wow, that is a lot of ingredients. Just at a glance I don't believe that any of them would contain gluten, but to be 100% sure you would want to contact the company directly.

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
