hi everyone...for all of you makeup junkies like me...i did a little calling around and found out some gluten-free products...

I couldnt get rid of all my MAC makeup so i had to call and find out what was safe.

The studio finish powder

The bronzers

Their eyeshadows (except the luxe pearl ones)

Masqueras (except the prolong lash)

Eye pencils/kohls

Lipglass

are all gluten-free!!

OPI & Revlons (nail enamal and color stay types only) nails polish is safe for those of you that need manicures =)

I still have a lot more calling around to do, so I will keep u updated!

Also is there a lotion that anyone can recommend that I could just go to a local CVS or something and pick up that I know will be safe to use. I currently have bath and body works, the ingredients list is ok, but im concerned about cross contamination with them cause they have so many products.

Thanks :)

I'm glad that the Revlon Color Stay nail polish is safe. I use it on my toes in the summer--stays on better than anything else I've tried. Thanks :)

I emailed Vaseline Intensive Care, and this is their response:

We hope this helps!

Hi everyone -

I am attempting to help a friend locate cosmetics that are gluten free. Does any one have a list of companies. I appreciate the comments I read earlier about REVLON as my firend does use nail polish.

Thanks in advance.

What about the MAC lipsticks? Or is it just the lipglass?

To be honest the majority of any brand you buy is manufactured by 1 of 2 larger companies so I would have to assume that if a product from one is good they all are...

I didnt ask about the MAC lipsticks, cause i dont tend to wear them, but she did say all the lipglass was gluten-free.

If you call them, they are very nice about it, and seemed to know exactly what they were talking about!

For lotion I use Johnson's Softlotion - the one with baby oil in it. It's great!

I emailed avon asking them and their direct quote back was this, "We have no idea what is in any of our cosmetics, scents, shampoos and bath products as they are made by various other companies.

We do not find it necessary at this time to request the ingredients."

The reply I got from Avon was similar, sort of.... I asked about gluten and they sent me an e-mail saying... read the ingredients thats whats in our stuff. Hmmm.

:unsure: I like alot of the Johnson & Johnson, and also the Playtex & Huggies brands BABY LOTIONS..... does anyone know if these are safe to use? I have quite a few bottles of various kinds, as I love the feel & the smell of them... It's hard for me to tell yet, if I have any reactions to any of these, because my skin is so dry & "itchy" all the time in the Winter. Nothing major is happening with still using these brands of Lotions for me yet.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Most Neutrogena products are gluten-free- the lotions are wonderful. I am currently using the Visibly Firm body lotion with copper in it. I called today and they said it was gluten-free, asked for my email address to send me a complete list of products that are gluten-free and my mailing address to send me some coupons. I LOVE them!

Revlon told me that same that Avon said above - they can't confirm ANY of their make up is gluten-free. I threw all their stuff out today (except nail polishes). It was sad but it had to be done. Luckily a lot of it was almost empty anyway :P

The only line of MAC lipsticks that are not gluten-free are the 'Amplified Cremes'.

I contacted Playtex a few months back regarding their Baby Magic Lotions, and was told all of their products are gluten free.

I have a similar thread going . . . the Neutrogena folks sent a list of all their gluten-free products. When questioned further, because it says "Wheat free", they responded that the items listed only are guaranteed wheat free -- but not barley, rye or oats. The entire list is on my thread if you want it. Also, Cetaphil products are gluten-free -- both the cleanser and the lotion. Hope this helps . . . Lynne

That's really strange.....they never mentioned that to me whjen I called them. But, as far as i know, I have never had a reaction to Neutrogena. :blink::huh:

This was what Neutrogena sent me when I questioned them about their list saying "Wheat-free":

We do not currently maintain a list of products free of corn, barley, rye or other grains. We will certainly share your interest in a more detailed gluten-free list with the proper authorities.

I don't have any reaction from them, either. The one thing that I know contains wheat and a lot of wheat by-products is the newest microdermabrasion kit. It's a shame, too, because they're the only company that uses the same ingredient that the MD's use to sandblast your face. :P

I'm also on a quest to deglutenize my medicine cabinet since my kids were just diagnosed. I was a t Sam's yesterday reading lables and the Vaseline Intensive Care lotions they had there had Oat protien so be careful!!!! I ended up getting lubriderm and called the company to confirm and they said it was gluten free!!!! It works really good too.

Silver - naki: According to the Dellphi list, J&J lotions are fine......

What about shampoos. I have dandruff and use garnier fructis (sp?). Anyone know about it or other dandruff shampoos?

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
