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 💕

      This would definitely be an interesting study. We did an article on this a while back:

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      We recently posted a summary here:

      7yo struggling!

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      For people of European ancestry, 2% is about average, depending on which study you look at. For Asian ancestry it can be higher. For full Sub-Saharan African ancestry it is zero, but in practice they tend to have trace amounts due to migration back into Africa. While each individual may have 1-3% Neanderthal DNA, it is not always the same DNA that is Neanderthal. Estimates are 20-70% for which parts of the human genome might be Neanderthal in any given individual. Another way of saying this is that 20-70% of the Neanderthal genome survives in the human population. The HLA genotypes that confer susceptibility to celiac (necessary but not sufficient) are known to be of human in origin. There are some other genes known to be associated with a higher probability for getting celiac (with the right HLA genotype) that are associated with Neanderthal DNA. However, there is no correlation between quantity of Neanderthal DNA and probability of getting celiac. Neanderthal DNA is associated with other autoimmune diseases. Lupus, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are probably the most strongly associated diseases.

      I believe most of us have tiny but still traceable neanderthal components in our DNA. If you have 2% it is considered high. It would be interesting to test the DNA of those with coeliacs and other autoimmune conditions to see whether we have a high neanderthal percentage. ? Sue

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you @suek54!  @trents she did mention doing it and asked if I had any of the little bumps left. I only had a few on my feet which I can feel but they are not very visible. She couldn't really see them but I said it was okay for her to touch me and when she did, she said she could feel them. My feet in particular were covered in them a few weeks ago but I now have very few left. I can still feel them slightly on the backs of my calves. I should have taken photographs but looking at my skin for the last year, well, I just haven't been able to, I found it too upsetting.  I think she just was in no doubt that all my symptoms matched dermatitis herpetiformis. My gastro symptoms (now also getting much better) seemed to confirm it for her. She was satisfied that my new diet is the cure and was very impressed that I am already taking all the vitamins and minerals that she would usually recommends. Actually, except Turmeric - does any take that? I am not sure what it does so will look into that today.  She has given me an 'open' appointment for 6 months time (I guess that means I can cancel it if I feel that I don't need it by then).
