I called the manufacturer of most of the makeup I wear (Mary Kay), and they gave me some statement about not being able to guarantee the ingredients in their products, and they would refer me to my doctor for his guidance. I'm sure she was reading from a script.

I'm just curious if anyone has had similar experiences with makeup companies, and if they've found a company that will actually stick by their ingredients? I really, really, really don't want to give up Mary Kay makeup, I've tried others and nothing else compares.

Have you tried Bare Escentuals? I have used it even before I went gluten-free. Their makeup line is gluten free althouth some of their lotions and bath products have wheat in them. I really love their makeup--I get it through QVC--if you want it, I'll post the phone# to call to get a catalogue.

If you cant get a straight answer from them...I wouldnt use their products. I didnt have problems with the companies I called. I dont use Mary Kay so I have no idea about them. How is your doctor suppossed to know what ingredients Mary Kay uses? That was a lame statement IMO.

hi, I received a list that had covergirl on it as gluten-free. I was using Avon glazewear all this time and didnt realize is had gluten in it. So I changed to everything covergirl.

I also switched to Bare Escentuals. I had a hard time "trusting" makeup companies. ...And honestly, once I started doing the research on the ingredients in my makeup/products, I wanted to switch to "all natural" ones, b/c the mainstream contain many harmful ingredients...even if it is hard to believe!

Where do you girls buy the Bare Essentials brand makeup (what type of store)?

I get mine through QVC. They have a BE line #1-800-345-4492. They will send you a free catalogue. They offer reduced shipping through the catalogue--$3.97 for the whole order. I like the catalogue because it shows the whole line w/ all the colors. Also, tomorrow (11/19), QVC will be featuring BE throughout the day. Yes, I am a bit of a QVC junkie! :(

You can also get the Bare Essentials-Bare Minerals makeup at Sephora. There are several BE stores as well. I know there's one in the Delta terminal at the Atlanta Airport.

I also get mine at sephora in store or on Open Original Shared Link

I think they have a larger selection than QVC...

Jen, I checked out the Sephora link--it looked great! Thanks. Also, I forgot to mention before that Ulta Stores carry a limited number of Bare Escentuals products. I've seen the foundations there as well as a few other things.

      Help with genetic testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.
