Limelight by Alcone lipsticks

Hi - Does anyone here use lipsticks (Enduring Lip Color) by Limelight?  Yes, this is one of  those multi-level marketing things, but I've seen a color I like and I'm pretty fussy.  However, while they say the product is Gluten Free, I noticed Tocopheryl Acetate in the ingredients and had the salesperson ask her supervisors. She tells me it is derived from non-wheat sources, but thought I'd double check if anyone with Celiac uses this product without issues.

 

Thanks.

Never tried the product myself, but I know from working a few years in the food industry that companies that are moving away from wheat sourced tocopherols will Source tocopherols from sunflower. 

It is best to contact the QA department of the company

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
