Glutened By Nailpolish

Believe it or not.. nailpolish was the culprit.

I have a not very good habit of trying to fix accidentally smudged spots on my nails by licking them.. As much as this is embarrassing to admit I thought I'd share it anyway as a warning.

Which products do you use which you know are gluten free? I'm specially curious in terms of lip gloss.. haven't dared to put any since I started.

I use Blistex Medicated Lip Balm (in the blue-green tube) and have no problem with it. I know others use Chap Stick. There are obviously more but I have no experience with them.

I use Burt's Bees for lip gloss/lip stick.

Instead of lipgloss I just use plain old vaseline. I react to chapstick as does my boyfriend. There are some cosmetic lines that are completely gluten free, and several that are partially gluten free. I suggest you use the Search engine.

For myself I have to be particularly careful since I am also salicylate sensitive, so most dyes are out.

So more than likely you can thank your lucky stars you aren't as sensitive to colorants as I am and are instead just needing things that are gluten free. At least now I know why I was never very comfortable with cosmetics. As an artist i have to use nitrile or vinyl cotton flocked gloves when I paint and be careful not to fling it everywhere. LOL!

I'm not big on make-up except for lipgloss and lipstick -- it has always been my one splurge. I pitched everything upon my diagnosis and went without until I found Red Apple Lipstick. I have been using their stuff with no problem. They are gluten free, paraben free, a bunch of other stuff free! I was not keen on ordering lipstick online since I've always liked to see it in the past but I gave it a try and I haven't been sorry. I really love the stuff. They've also recently introduced a balm that is very nice -- I bought three and have one at home and one in my purse and a backup because I just know I'm going to loose the one in my purse (it has happened in the past!) I've also used the Neutrogena Naturals lipbalm with no problems.

Both Burt's bees and Chap Stick brands may be cross contaminated, don't use them. However the whole Soft lips brand is gluten free, their whole factory is gluten free.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
