Refreshingly Free

While looking for gluten-free nail polish, I stumbled onto refreshinglyfree.com - a site that sells some gluten-free personal products! While not all their products are gluten-free, they have a section especially dedicated for wheat/gluten allergies. They have nail polish, body washes, shampoos, and other types of items.

In addition, for those who have other sensitivities, they seem to specialize in low-odor, low-chemical products. I believe I saw some of their products are also soy-free.

I know there are some on here who say you don't have to worry about gluten-free cosmetics and toiletries, and I respect everyone's right to make their own choices, but for those of us who are concerned, here is a good option. I ordered three bottles of nail polish today, and am looking forward to receiving them!

Just thought I'd share.

I'm still waiting for it to arrive. :( I've been excited ever since I placed my order, so the waiting is killing me. I really hope the quality is good! This was the only place I found with gluten-free nail polish for adults - everywhere else had very child-friendly colours (bright pink, neon green, orange) and nothing I was looking for (clear, classic red, pale pink, etc). It was a bit frustrating.

I just went to Sprouts, and as I was walking in I remembered I needed some hand soap and skin lotion/moisturizer. I figured, Sprouts... no problem, I'll find several choices.

30 minutes later, googling tons of individual brands, and couldn't find a single one that was marked gluten-free, or it's website gave any sort of assurances for.

After my poisoning last week, I'm not taking anything for granted so I'll look into these products. Thanks for the tip.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
