some physicians formula products are labeled gluten free on the package, but I was curious about particular eye shadows and liners that were not labeled, so here's what I sent:

 

I am inquiring as to whether your Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow & Liner specifically the eye shadow palette and liners for blue eyes are gluten free? Here are links to the specific products. Thank you for any information you are able to provide. Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

 

Here was the response:

 

Thank you for taking the time to contact Physicians Formula.

We are happy to inform you all Physicians Formula products are Gluten-Free.

We hope this information was helpful. Any further inquiries please contact us at 1-800-227-0333 and one of our Consumer Relations associates will be happy to assist you. Thank you for using Physician Formula products.

 

Now I'm going to go back to CVS today, and hopefully snag the eye shadow I was unsure of that was marked 75% off!!

I use their airbrushing mineral finishing powder (love it, really looks like I have a glow in my dull skin), eyeliner, and the shimmer strips eyeshadow for green eyes. If you have an Ulta they are having buy one get one half off sale right now.

 

all of their skincare is gluten free too. and really cheap. I have the eye cream. no fancy ingredients, it just moisturizes the eye area and that's all I need. my eyes are way too sensitive for any anti wrinkle stuff. the eye cream is like $6

if you have a CVS near you, I ended up getting three PF products originally priced around $37.  Since two were marked at 75% off, and then they had a deal that if you bought $15 of PF products you received $10 register rewards back, it's like I really only paid $8!  that made me very happy :)

 

Check out CVS if you have one close by!

 

I've been rotating between Bare Mineral and PF foundation, but for me, I find PF does a better job and is significantly cheaper.

 

answerseeker-i'll keep that in mind about the skincare products!  I've been using the Simple brand that I found at Target since the website says, "Thanks for your interest in our Simple® Skincare Products. At this time, no ingredients which contain gluten are added to our products."

I've been eyeing the simple brand. I need a new moisturizer ;-)

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      By RMJ · Posted

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?
