Input on Native Deodorant??

Hello all, 

Wanted to get some others' opinions of the brand Native and how you would interpret this information (or if you just want to share your own experiences with the brand).

Let me go ahead and say, obviously I'm not going to eat my deodorant. But I can be very clumsy and forgetful, so I usually try to keep even body care items gluten free due to the possibility of accidental ingestion (like if I get some of the deodorant on my hand without realizing, then happen to touch near my mouth later or something). I'm also extremely sensitive to CC with food items, so I probably seem more paranoid than other celiacs, but it's for good reason. One exposure to CC has kept me sick for weeks to months in the past. 

I did contact Native to ask about gluten in their products and this was their response: 

"Thanks for reaching out to us! While Native products are made without any intentionally added gluten, our facilities are not certified gluten-free. However, our cleaning and sanitizing process between each product produced ensure no cross-contamination of gluten." 

Do you think this is still a risk? I'm leaning towards it being okay, but I don't want to be stupid or careless. 

What do you guys think?

I worry about getting contaminated by something that contains gluten.  I worry about eating something that might be contaminated with gluten. But I don’t worry about getting contaminated by something that might be contaminated with gluten.  At that point I feel the risk, and the possible amount of gluten, would be extremely low.

Even if you are as sensitive as you have mentioned, I believe that since you are not eating this that information from Native would be enough for me to think that it is safe. Even if there were a tiny amount of contamination in the very first part of their manufacturing run due to something in the machinery that wasn't cleaned properly (this risk is likely very small), it is, after all, deodorant, so such small levels could not harm you anyway.

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      My 7yo has been complaining of tummy aches for some months. Bloods show very low iron and vitamin D. We have had multiple bloods as follows… 1. TTg 0.3 (normal) IgA deficient  2. TTg 6.6 (cut off is 7) IgA 0.54 (cut off is 0.5 so only just over not being deficient) 3. TTg 3 (cut off 7) EMA Positive We are awaiting biopsy but why are the blood results so conflicting? Is it likely he is coeliac? We have strong family history with dad having coeliac plus other relative. Can positive EMA be caused by anything other that coeliac disease? It has been bought up the EMA could be from other inflammation but I can’t find any studies that say this?    thank you.

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!
