Pacificia Perfume

so I stopped wearing perfume for the most part after going gluten-free, but finally decided I wanted to buy some again because of being more social and going out  :) During my searches, I kept coming across Pacificia Perfume products.  You can buy them at Whole Foods, a*****.com and their retail site.  So far I've bought the Tahitian Gardenia and Persian Rose.  Not that I was really looking for a vegan perfume, but in addition to being gluten free, it is also vegan.

 

The scents don't have super strong staying power, but I've never liked an overbearing scent, so that's perfectly fine with me.  I'd definitely recommend them!

Just wanted to let you know that I started using their products not so long ago and they are wonderful.  I have the Tahitian Gardenia and Persian Rose as well. If you like those the French Lilac is awesome as is the Island Vanilla scent.  The Quench Lip tints are great as is their mascara.  i am a real fan of their products.  Their customer service is AMAZING!!

I'm going to look for those.  I like those types of fragrances - not the typical perfume smells.  Also, its nice to have a brand I can give my husband and boys to look for for presents.  When they were little, they always went to Bath & Body and smelled all the lotions & bubble baths.  Then they would pick the bubble bath they wanted to use - usually vanilla - to give me as a present.   :D

Thank for the suggestion. I'll see if I can tolerate wearing a fragrance again.

I love gardenias and I can't do overpowering scents of anything...not sure why, but it makes me nauseous.

I can't even enjoy dinner out if the woman next to me is drowning in her Chanel No.5 or whatever...

This makes me wonder....why do people put so much on anyway? blech.

What are they trying to cover up? Take a bath for pete's sake! 

But I digress.... :D

 

K,  just curious.......was there ever any bubble bath left for mom?

I was wondering. I looked at some products that didn't say gluten-free but didn't contain any gluten ingredients. Great to know. I will look for them.

so I bought some of their make-up too, which came last week.  I know you can buy their eyeshadow at Target, but I really wanted to try their mascara, so I bought this kit:

It is fantastic!  The eye shadow stays all day and looks just as good as when I put it on in the morning.  Although the mascara brush is a little too thick for my liking, nothing an eyelash separator can't fix, the mascara has great staying power too.  The lip gloss stays on well, and the only thing I haven't tried is the eyeliner.

      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/

      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.

      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?

      I work as a renal RD and have a Celiac pt which has been rare for me (I might have had 3-4 Celiac pts in 15 years). I wondered if anyone can confirm that these medications are gluten free and safe for Celiac.  Ferric citrate (Auryxia)  Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (Velphoro)  lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol) sevelamer carbonate (Renvela)   Thank you!
