Avon?

Does Avon have a current gluten-free list? I'm looking for a skin care system. Wash, toner, cream, eye cream, etc. I've been using the Arbonne Intelligence system but the actual wash isn't on their gluten-free list, just the toner & creams are.

(I saw on Delphi, their list of Avon products- there were TONS TONS TONS- could this be true? Even their mascara and lipstick?!!!)

Thanks! :-)

Don't quote me, from what I know Avon stopped issuing a gluten-free list and now

wants you to call their Customer Service number everytime you need to know

if something is gluten free.

This being said, I called them to test them about a year ago. I called

their Customer Service line and deliberately asked if their body lotion which

had oat in it was gluten-free. They answered "yes, it's gluten-free." I think the Cust Service

people just read the ingredients and if it doesn't specifially say "gluten" as

an ingredient, then they tell you it's "gluten free." That's just my take on

this test.

Avon does no longer issue lists. Their customer service number no longer gives information other that "you need to talk to you doctor before you start using any new products". If you go through an Avon representative, they can get all the information without problems. We have a rep in the area here that is also gluten intolerant, and she has been an awesome help. I have slowly been switching everything back to Avon. They have tons of stuff we can safely use.

Good to hear that there's someone who will answer on behalf of Avon, but

it would be better to hear it from corporate.

      Labcorp on demand has the test for 120 bucks which is pretty cool, that's what I did last time so I'll probably do that's again. I've been eating gluten for over a year again, if I increase my intake for two weeks and retest is that long enough?

      Yeah I suggested doing another blood test and they basically said no they don't want to do it until after the diet which makes no sense to me either. Maybe I'll just pay for it myself.

      As Scott said, if you go on a gluten free diet ahead of testing you can expect the test results to be negative. If you remove gluten from your diet, the inflammation in the lining of the small bowel will subside, antibody levels (what the blood tests are checking for) will drop and the mucosal lining will experience healing such that a biopsy will be normal. So, it makes no sense to me to start the gluten free diet now unless your doctor wants to see if the weak positive disappears in response to a gluten free diet. Your Marsh 1 score indicates little to no damage has been experienced in the lining of the small bowel to this point. Two slices of bread daily might not be sufficient to produce unequivocal test results. Recently revised "gluten challenge" guidelines are recommending at least 10 g of gluten daily (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks leading up to the day of testing, whether it be the blood antibody testing or the biopsy. It makes more sense to me for you to increase your gluten intake for several weeks and get retested. It is not likely that doing so for that limited amount of time will produce any serious health consequences but may give you unequivocable test results and more clear direction. If you decide to do this, make sure that in addition to the tTG-IGA test, you request a "total IGA" test order to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, your tTG-IGA score will be artificially low. Those are, at the very minimum, the two tests that should always be ordered when a blood draw is done check for celiac antibodies. There are other tests which can be ordered as well that check for evidence in the IGG immunes response spectrum. Here is an overview:
