Need Suggestions For Completely Celiac Friendly Makeup

I am desperately searching for Celiac friendly makeup. I'm not just talking about gluten free, I'm talking about gluten free AND cross-reactive foods free as well; this includes: wheat, barely, rye, oats, corn, soy, rice, milk, potato, egg, yeast, spelt, coffee, sesame, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, hemp, amaranth, quinoa, tapioca, & teff. I am severely sensitive and anything that contains these items makes me extremely ill. I have searched far and wide. I have tried ELF, made me extremely sick, come to find out that glycerine is derived from soy. Has anyone tried Dermablend creme? It doesn't contain any of these that i could find but, I would like to hear from others that are very sensitive that have tried it.

Thanks for reading and your replies.

Wow!  That is a lot of intolerances!  How long have you had celiac disease? How damaged was your villi?    If you are new, it can takes a year or longer to heal and resolve intolerances that often accompany celiac disease.  

I just worry about products that can be swallowed accidentally.  This includes sunscreen, lipstick, foundation,  hand lotion, shampoos,etc.  I do not worry about mascara.  I use Gabriel gluten-free lipstick.

I have been sick for a little over 7 years. All of the doctors where I live told me that it was stress and anxiety related except for one but they couldn't figure out what was wrong because it stayed subclinical for 5 years. They got me accepted as a patient at the Cleveland Clinic and it took them almost a year to figure it out. I have improved tremendously but, I'm still having problems. I was able to come off of thyroid medication, I can now stand for longer than 5 minutes, I can drive again, my skin doesn't feel like it is sunburnt all of the time now and many other smaller things have improved. I'm also still drinking Pepsi and I'm guessing that is probably causing me to still have some problems. I wouldn't be so concerned with makeup of it wasn't for the huge circles I have around my eyes from being sick. They look terrible and I would love to find something I can use to help comceal them.

Ah, so many of us have been told that our symptoms are "all in our heads"!  I am glad that you finally are getting better.  There is a huge learning curve to the diet on top of varying degrees of damage, so recovery is long for most.  It took me a year to feel okay and another year to feel normal (I dealt with wildly swinging thyroid too).  A severe glutening last year (unknown source but confirmed by antibodies testing), created some new problems (hives, rashes, itching, etc).  The new symptoms have resolved thankfully, but that took about six months.   Enough about me.

My cousin has always had dark circles under her eyes since she was a kid (duh...she is gluten intolerant, but it could be totally unrelated).   She is an expert at concealing them.  Uses a yellow color (green for hiding red).  My daughter and I use Physcian's Formula concealers.  Google tips from makeup artists.  Hopefully, your circles may diminsh as your health continues to improve.  It may be related to allergies and not even celiac disease.  Hard to say.  

Pepsi.  Drink it as a treat.  It is crap and you know it.  But I get it.  You have to have a vice as we have given up so much.

Thanks for all of the replies and messages! Yes, Pepsi is crap and I do know, like you said, I have given up everything, it's all I have left. It needs to go too. 

I will most definitely check out Physician's Formula and Arbonne cosmetics. Hopefully, I will be able to use some of those products.

My dark circles are absolutely hideous. They aren't just dark circles, they have yellow in the center of them. Sometimes they start to clear up and then they go right back to the way they were. I'm probably very vitamin deficient, I'm sure that's playing a role in this.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
