I have a wide variety of makeup brands immy makeup kit nd I was wondering how important is it to switch makeup to gluten-free. I did by different shampoo and conditioner. it is biolage i don't think there is gluten in it. I haven't switched makeup yet though because I have to find gluten-free brands. Has everyone switched all their makeup or do some people still use whatever?

I waited until I got my Enterolab test results back and as soon as I got them and saw that they were positive...I switched everything to gluten-free.

I actually didnt have to change that much after calling all the companies there were only a couple things I had to change as far as make-up.

Rachel - What kind of make up products do you buy? I've been researching it a little trying to come up with a brand that doesn't have to purchased online. My husband is the celiac but I thought it might be a good idea for me to go ahead and change my makeup so if he kissed me (even on the cheek) it wouldn't be a problem.

I called all the companies first and verified what was ok and what was not. I ended up only changing my blush to Neutrogena and my lipgloss to Bare Esentuals. Everything else I use is safe. All of the Bare Esentuals stuff is gluten-free if you are interested.

Rachel - Thanks. Can you buy the Bare Escentuals at Department stores or do you buy it online? I was worried about the face powder having gluten. I guess I will call the company and see what they say.

The reason why products matter is because they can easily get into your mouth.

Think about it..if you wash your hands with gluten containing soap and then prepare your food you cross contaminate.

With shampoos, it can easily slide down your face in the water and how often do you touch your hair throughout the day without even thinking about it...that gets gluten on your hands.

With makeups it is the same thing..you touch your face maybe subconsciously to rub your eye or something and then its now on your hands...makeup is obviously the most important because that's right on your mouth

With nail polish biting your nails or making food can make it chip off and get traces in there.

Every angle needs to be looked at because every little bit can and will damage you.

Lipstick and toothpaste and that is a given.

Perfumes and hairsprays are airborne so can get into your digestive tract by breathing in particles.

I love the Bare Escentuals makeup and use alot of that. I like to use natural stuff as much as possible. I also use some of Burt's Bees products. I do use some CoverGirl makeup though as well.

There are some lists available that can help with guidelines for products.

I understand how cross contamination can be a real problem and how what you wash your hands with is important. But what do you do out in public when you wash your hands? I have to go to clients' offices all over town as I'm in sales. This week I used the rest room in three office buildings and of course used their soap - not all gluten-free I'm sure. Do you take your own soap everywhere? Or is some anti-bacterial stuff gluten-free and we should use that after we wash with unknown soaps?

Jennifer,

I got my Bare Esentuals lip gloss at Sephora. Not sure where you live or if you have one near you?? You can also order online. B.E. products are a little pricey though.

Thanks Kaiti! You're always quick with an answer. I'll get some Purell this weekend when getting my non-food gluten-free stuff.

I order my Bare Escentuals from QVC. If you call the BE customer service # at QVC--1-800-345-4492, they will send you a free catalogue. They have one for Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. If you order from the catalogue, they reduce the shipping to $3.97 for the whole order. I had been using BE foundations, blush etc. since before I had to be gluten-free. Since then, I've switched my mascara and lip products over, too.

Estee Lauder and most of these companies I believe do have some products which arent gluten-free...its always best to call and verify. From what I understand alot of the info in The Gluten Free Bible isn't accurate so again...its always best to double check.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
