Help
Hi everyone!
I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am still getting bloated and feeling sick nightly! I am very meticulous about what I eat, so I am starting to think it is the other products I use that are making me ill. I need to switch brands of a lot of beauty products and I would love some suggestions....
does anybody know of gluten free:
-daily face lotion?
-daily body lotion?
-Shaving cream?
-dental floss?
-hair products for curly/frizzy hair?
and on another note.... are all wines gluten free?
All suggestions are welcome! Thank you so much in advance!
-Dana

I like lubriderm lotion, Paul Mitchell intense daily moisture shampoo and conditioner, Dove hair care and skin lotions...there are a few exceptions but gluten will not be hidden so just read the label, Garnier Fructis has been reported to be gluten-free but I don't use them.
Dove bodywash is a good replacement for shaving cream . Vaseline is gluten-free and a great nightly face cream.
Lipsticks are very important to be gluten-free. Do a search and you'll find lots of suggestions. The Bare Essentials line is mostly gluten-free and really nice.
Wines....YES thank goodness!!!!
I think you are safe with straight wine. Wine Coolers need to be checked for malt.
You might have a intolerance to lactose if you are bloated all the time.
Good luck and this gluten-free thing does get easier once you learn how to play the game.......

Hi Tigger,
My first seven months I felt similar to what you are describing, and I went downhill rapidly, and ended up in the hospital... Now I know i was on my death bed, but no one told me because they thought I'd be scared (I was just living as normally as I could, trying to finish my degree!). Just telling you to really make sure that you take all the steps possible. Gluten is tricky! Welcome to our forums.
I'm don't use face lotion because my cleanser has a nice moisturizer, but I do use Dove's Daily Facial cleanser. For body lotion, I use Vaseline Intensive Care or Burt's Bees Hand Salve. Shaving cream... Well, I'm a soap and water + lotion later type of girl. Dental floss I use Johnson and Johnson's, but I do believe Crest and Colgate are both also gluten-free (not positive though). For curly/frizzy hair, I LOVE Dove products, but I don't have that type of hair... However, I have irritating hair in the sense that it is very fine, so I needed a good shampoo, and use their mousse to scrunch it wavy. The last time I called (about a month ago) they confirmed that all their products are gluten-free, and they do list all sources if that were to change. But I do recommend Dove.
Regarding wine, I can't drink it because of sulphites and casein, but I do believe that most, if not all, wines are gluten-free.

are you using products that are "wheat free" (which is not necessarily gluten free)?
How often do you eat places other than home?

Regarding curly hair.... i have struggled with mine for a long time and FINALLY found products i LOVE. so i'd recommend them to anyone with curly hair (celiac or not) and i have never seemed to have problems with them. they are: Catwalk by TIGI "Curls Rock" Shampoo and Conditioner. I also use the same line of stuff in this wierd pump cream stuff called "curl amplipher"....can't live without it. you can find them in most salons-moderatley priced-but not bad. its about $12 per thing (but they have deals all the time that make it cheaper or get one for free). I also use a little Dove mousse for curly hair. Hope this is helpful!
Also on this note...does anyone know if Benefit "the gloss" lipglosses are gluten free?
thanks! kms

Thank you!! I'm going to go to the store today and get those curly hair products.
In response to the other post, I try not to eat out that much but I'm in college so it is very hard.
I can't figure out why I am still getting bloating and feeling bad all the time. I am very good about not eating gluten so it is very frustrating.
Sorry I don't know if that lip gloss is gluten-free, what mascara do you guys use? Are clinque powders/blushes gluten-free?
Are all Dove lotions/hair products/ soaps etc. gluten-free?
Thank you!!
Dana

i'm in college also and find i feel out of sorts sometimes too. i credit it to having to eat out occasionally and not being EXACTLY sure what you're eating because i'm careful with what i make too. my dining center also prepares meals separetly for me and this other gluten-free girl so i know i'm ok there (well, pretty sure). hope you get to feeling better!

Hi Dana
NARS says all thier makeup is gluten free. i use thier eyeshadow, blush, bronzer and lipgloss. its kind of expensive but lasts a long time. you can get it at sephora or department stores.
also MAC has a really good list of what is gluten free and what is not but they wont give it out so you have to call them. i use thier lip gloss, eye shadow and blush as well.
to wash my face i use cetaphil for sesitive skin- all their others products they say might have gluten.
i use loreal vive shampoo and kerastase conditioner.
speak to you soon

I have used the Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey shampoo before, used to love it, but started to react to it...have since switched to Dove. I took a closer look at the Catwalk products today and checked out the Curls Rock Shampoo...It has wheat clearly listed in the ingredients. I didn't see the same in the Amplifier, but would want to ask the company for clarification. Given that two of their shampoos have suspect ingredients, I wouldn't be surprised that the whole line does. I haven't seen the same listed in my Bed Head products...I hope I don't have to give up my "Manipulator"...that stuff is the best!
