I researched the MK Gluten issue, and the letter I got from them suggested I avoid MOST of their products because they couldn't be sure about the source of the ingredient. So, I narrowed it down to 5 products that I wouldn't use based on gluten. But, for you to have all of the information, here is the list they sent me. (I put the ingredient that they felt might have gluten in parenthesis).

Thanks! I've been wondering. I don't have a high sensitivity, so'll finish what I have, but change over as I run out.

It's disturbing that Mary Kay would think things that some of those items contain gluten ... like maltodextrin, vegetable oil, citric acid, etc. Seems easier to just use another brand!

Yeah, I do now. Not because of gluten, but because I have become disgusted with MLM and Direct Selling companies like MK and A.rbonne. See how the above poster has listed the A.rbonne list in THREE MK topics instead of starting an Lame Advertisement thread? It is ruthless. Whatever. I am buying from the stores these days! :)

(NOTE:A.rbonne post was removed, I am not crazy! LOL)

Yes, she's posting EVERYWHERE! Last I looked, I didn't see any moderators on the board, but two are here now, so maybe they'll take care of it.

Do you know if the SPF 30 sunscreen is gluten-free? And the timewise moisterizer and time wise 3 n 1 cleanser is also gluten-free? My MK rep doesn't seem to know and I can't seem to get through to the company on the phone.

thanks.

      Ground meat absolutely full of gluten?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "grass-fed" meat by definition cannot contain wheat as it means the animal is only fed grass  organic meat can be fed wheat feed

      Weird Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your symptoms would not be typical celiac disease symptoms, but still could be related due to possible nutrient deficiencies.  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      This is a difficult situation, and one that your employer may not take seriously. It's possible that they don't have a way to accommodate your issues, but I don't know much about your work environment. Obviously moving you to another work area would be ideal, but would or could they do that? If not, you might be stuck having to wear a K95-type mask at work to avoid breathing any particles, but they still could end up on your skin. Another alternative is searching for a new job.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is an interesting theory, but it’s important to note that Ozempic, while it does slow digestion, doesn’t change the body’s immune response to gluten in individuals with celiac disease. Even if symptoms seem reduced, the immune system is still triggered, which can cause the same long-term damage to the intestines, regardless of symptom severity. Regarding sourdough bread, while it may have lower levels of gluten depending on how it’s made, it’s still not safe for people with celiac disease unless it’s explicitly gluten-free. The immune response to gluten in celiac disease is triggered by even tiny amounts of gluten, so adhering strictly to a gluten-free diet is essential for health and healing. If you suspect Ozempic or other factors are influencing your symptoms, it might be worth discussing with your healthcare provider or a specialist to ensure you’re fully addressing your health needs.
