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 ;-)

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
