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 💕

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      So, as I understand this, there is uncertainty as to how much the gluten protein has to be degraded before it is safe and doesn't cause a reaction. There is also uncertainty as to how consistently hydrolysis processes degrade the gluten protein and there may be considerable variability from one processing setting to another. I suspect this also is a problem with other "gluten free" products made from wheat starch such as certain pizza brands.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Russ H · Posted

      Rather than create a new thread, I thought I would post to this one as it is on topic. The paper linked below is quite comprehensive regarding the state of knowledge of the safety of hydrolysed barley gluten. The final section gives a good summary. Barley based gluten free beer – A blessing or an uncontrollable risk?

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By MegRCxx · Posted

      I started eating gluten free about a month before my test results came through and i was starting to feel a little better but still the off flare ups. I recieved the diagnosis at the beginning of September and they have supplied me with a nutritionist mid october. I am only eating gluten free foods and am so careful but i just seem to still always feel like crap.    i feel fine after breakfast but as soon as ive had lunch i feel crap for the rest of the day. Stomach hurts to apply any pressure, fatigue, mood swings and its getting to me at the moment.   i used to be a head pastry chef and thought id always had that to fall back on but the not being able to eat everything i love and worrying about cross contamination has taken a massive toll. There is only so much you can do with coeliac and i just dont know how to feel better. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By larc · Posted

      Yes cooking everything from scratch has helped vanquish my symptoms. As for tips on managing a busy schedule and preparing fresh food -- I try to steam a lot of fresh vegetables most evenings so I have food in the fridge for a day or two. But I still have to do a lot of shopping since I buy so much fresh fruits and vegetables. Still, no matter how much you plan or set up a routine, food preparation to cope with my celiac still requires a serious time commitment.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, I'm glad your A1Cs have come back as normal!   Penicillin based antibiotics like flucloxacillin can deplete thiamine, but low thiamine won't cause high mchc.  But SIBO bacteria will take advantage of low thiamine and all those oats to become overgrown.  SIBO bacteria can interfere with iron and B12 absorption and may cause high mchc.   Certainly a head scratcher!  Hope the test results come soon so you can get this figured out! Keep us posted!
