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.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night.

Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress.

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.
