Response From Juara Skincare

Hi Lisa,

I apologize for the delay in this response, but I have been conversing back and forth with our Product Development department to get as much information for you as possible.

In labeling our products, we at JUARA follow the guidelines established by the International Nomenclature for Cosmetics Ingredients (INCI). Our product line doesn't currently contain any ingredients derived specifically from wheat. If we were to use an ingredient derived from a grain such as wheat, those names would appear on the label. However, many raw materials from different suppliers and sources are used in the manufacture of JUARA products. It is therefore not possible for us to fully guarantee that our products are completely free of ingredients that may elicit an allergic response.

Were our products to contain some trace of gluten from the manufacturers of our raw materials, are you sure that you would experience a reaction? According to our research, celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that can damage the villi in the small intestine. Research has not shown that it will adversely affect a celiac disease sufferer to apply gluten products topically. (For example: the celiac disease sufferer who bakes and frequently touches flour), unless the person has a specific wheat or gluten allergy.

Of course, I don't know your specific situation, so I don't want to advise you to do something that your doctor would recommend against. If you have any doubts, certainly take our ingredient list to a doctor and ask about the imaginable effects of applying products possibly containing traces of gluten topically.

If you would like to request some free samples in order to test our products out first before committing to buying them, I could definitely send you some to check out. If you're interested, let me know which products you want, and tell me a little bit about your skin type and daily facecare routine.

I hope this has been helpful, and I thank you for your interest JUARA! Please feel absolutely free to let me know any futher questions or concerns you may have.

All the Best,

JUARA Skincare

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Just finished my second celebrity cruise. My first was on one of their oldest ships, it was awesome! Now we have sailed on the edge class. Wow! Not only do they have so many gluten-free options but the selection is mind blowing! Any given day you will have between 5 to 7 different gluten-free cakes to try. Yes that is right, one day at the coffee shop I had to choose between 5 gluten-free cakes not including the several puddings on display. So they gave me a small piece of each. 2 were great, 2 were just good, and 1 I did not enjoy. But never have I had the tough decision of which cake to eat?  These selections are from their normal options available for all guest. In the main dining room they always surprised me with some awesome desserts.  In my opinion the best pizza was on the Millennium class and best buffet on the Edge class. Although these two ship vary in size they are both consistent and serving high quality food from the main dinning room. The edge class gives you 4 “main” dining rooms (all included). I was unsure how this would work with my gluten-free diet? It worked great! I was able to order or see the next night’s menu for each of the four dinning venues finding that very little to no modifications needed to be made due to their extensive gluten free options.  The Millennium and Edge class ships provide the best gluten-free options from any of the cruise lines I have sailed with. You will find a larger selection and options on the edge class ships, however you will not be disappointed with the smaller Millennium class. Which is still my favorite cruise ship to date.

      9 year old- questionable results

      Welcome to the forum, @ABP! We can't comment on the test numbers you give as you didn't include the range for negative. Different labs use different units and different ranges. There are no industry standards for this so we need more information. If your daughter doesn't have celiac disease she still could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which some experts believe can be a precursor to celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. However, there is no test for it yet but it does share many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. Both require complete abstinence from gluten.  It is seldom the case during testing where all tests are positive, even for those who do have celiac disease. This is no different than when diagnosing other medical conditions and that is why it is typical to run numbers of tests that come at things from different angles when seeking to arrive at a diagnosis. It seems like you are at the point, since you have had both blood antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy done, that you need to trial the gluten free diet. If her symptoms improve then you know all you need to know, whatever you label you want to give it. But given that apparently at least one celiac antibody blood test is positive and she has classic celiac symptoms such as slow growth, constipation and bloating, my money would be on celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      9 year old- questionable results

      By ABP · Posted

      My nine-year-old daughter has suffered with severe constipation and bloating for years as well as frequent mouth sores, and keratosis Polaris on her arms. She also has recently decreased on her growth curve her % going down gradually.  After seeing a gastroenterologist, her IgG GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG) was 22.4 while her IGA was normal. Her TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 11.9.  Most recently her genetic test for celiac was positive.  After an endoscopy her tissue showed inflammation of the tissue as well as , increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) but there was no blunting of the change in the villi.    It seems that every result that we get one out of two things positive rather than all leading to an inconclusive diagnosis. While we do have another appointment with the doctor to go over the results. I'm curious based on this information what others think.    I would hate to have her eliminate gluten if not necessary- but also don't want to not remove if it is necessary.    Signed Confused and Concerned Mama

      I guess using "GF" instead of "PL" would have been too easy! 😉

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.
