I was diagnosed in October and am still having a hard time finding good beauty/ personal care products. What are some of your favorite products that you use?

I was diagnosed recently too and am still looking. I use Aquaphor. I bought some gluten-free lipstick from Whole Foods. Gabriel cosmetics. I don't love the consistency of it but the color was good. Whole Foods has 2-3 brands that are gluten-free and they have a list on their website with what's at your local store. I don't know if there's one near you....

You don't have to worry if all your products are gluten-free. You only need to worry about what might be  swallowed - like lip.  Or maybe shampoo.

I use Gabriel lipstick too.  It is certified gluten free.  Red Apple is also certified gluten free (available online).   I am sure that there are other mainstream companies who manufacture lipstick that is gluten free, but the ingredient list is too tiny for me to read!  ?  My foundation is gluten free -- just a simple mineral foundation (I am kind of big on simple ingredients..  I do not worry about eye make-up.  The odds of it getting into my mouth and swallowing it are slim and none.

Red Apple Lipstick is one I know many people use and swear by!

My daughter is Celiac and super sensitive to most makeup but she uses No 7 which you can find at most Targets. It's kinda pricey but she doesn't breakout. She is also allergic yeast & sesame seeds so we are extremely careful to read the ingredients.  When her face, neck and chest start to break out we know she was exposed to something. It's the first sign. Some say it's not enough to make a difference but with her it is. She also uses Cetaphil for her face cleanser. Lush products are 100% natural and she uses their lotion and lip scrubs without any problems.

I use Acure lotions. Love love love them! Also love LipSense lipstick and Younique stiff upper lip lip stain. I use Younique eyeliner and mascara...and a bit of blush/bronzer by Neutrogena. When I wear concealer, it's Younique. (I sell Younique now because the results are that good with no reaction.)

>.> this is odd coming from a male but I use EO hair care since they have a nice keratin infused shampoo that works great with blow drying and straightening hair with a iron. I also use Acure skin care products often like the facial wipes, and scrubs. I am currently using The sea weed company bath wash, and been using Hugo Naturals hand soap for awhile since it is one of the few to leave my hands feeling less dry. I think right now and for this month Lucky Vitamin is having a sale on personal hygiene and beauty products.

It can be overwhelming at first but you do have lots of options. Red Apple Lipstick and Acure  that others mentioned are gluten free. Gabriel Cosmetics which you can buy on-line which was also mentioned has great products. Tarte Cosmetic is gluten free. There is also a brand called 100 Percent Pure which has so many products that are gluten free which you can buy on-line. All but one of their mascaras is gluten-free.  I use Cerave creams without any issues and I am super sensitive. When in doubt contact the company - many are very helpful and if they are not I do not want to give them my business! Good Luck.

Thank you to everyone has replied and commented to my post! You have all been very helpful. I threw away a lot of my very expensive makeup and switched to gluten free brands. I mainly use Gabriel cosmetics and ZUZU Luxe  because they are certified gluten free now. I was using Tarte for a while and just figured out it has been causing me terrible migraines. I have heard that took themselves off of the gluten free list because it is cross contaminated while it is manufactured. What do people use for deodorant?

Tom of Maine myself, also on personal hygiene, almost all Colgate tooth products are gluten free.

I use Arbonne for skincare and most of my makeup (especially things like foundation and powder that cover most of my skin....since anything that goes on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream). It can be a little pricey (I currently get a 35% discount so that helps) but it lasts a long time, is quality, works, and is gluten free, vegan, cruelty free, etc. :) For toothpaste I tried arbonne...it's ok but I prefer tom of main or norwex toothpaste. Deoderant isn't something I thought about yet....need to look into that too! SO many things are affected. :(

I use the Alastin skincare line. Done by a Derm and really careful with ingredients. A celiac’s dream. (At least for me) I get it online or from derm’s office  

For  makeup I use Chantecaille. Can get it at Nordstrom or other Dept stores and online. Make sure to let the counter girl know you’re gluten-free. 
 

These products seem to work for me. Hope they help 💕

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.

All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
