Rimmel Make Up


Piercemum

Recommended Posts

Piercemum Newbie

Hello!  I am wondering if there are any celiacs out there familiar with using Rimmel Make Up.  My husband is a newly diagnosed celiac and I have used this brand for years (I have issues finding make up as I have nut and coconut allergies). I don't want to CC him but at the same time I would like to continue wearing make up if I can. I know some would say it should be good unless it goes near your mouth but realistically when you are kissing etc, you are rubbing against each others faces and make up can get ingested. Does anyone have history using this make up as a celiac (or partner of a celiac)? Rimmel like many many others cannot give gluten free confirmation due to outsourcing of ingredients so they can't help with this.

I would just worry about the lipstick.  

Rimmel should post all ingredients on their packaging.    They might not on their website.  They will not say it is gluten free because they do not test, but it might not contain gluten.  

Have you considered a certified gluten free lipstick?  Red Apple or Gabriel are both certified gluten-free.  I can find Gabriel in my local Sprouts store.  I am not sure if they contain coconut.  Are you sure you are allergic to coconut?  I ask because my niece was diagnosed with tree nut allergies.  She carries an EPI pen.  Her doctor just included coconut because it has the word nut and it is easier for a little kid to avoid all “nuts” even when a coconut is not a tree nut.

In the meantime, just wipe off your lips before kissing.

      Hasn’t been given folic acid as GP says vit b and folic acid can’t be given together which I find strange cos any time I did venepunctures B12 and folate were always grouped together? Her folate level was 2.2, just below the normal level

      Hi Thanks for your input. Don’t know which exact medication she’s on, keep asking but she keeps forgetting!!! I still think her Vitamin D levels might be low cos she had the back pain and tingling last year( around March /April) and levels were low so she had 3 month course then and it helped. She’s coming home next week (as in to ours) for a long weekend so hopefully some TLC from mum and dad will help!!!

      Genetic testing for celiac disease (the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes) usually takes about 3–10 days to come back, depending on the lab your doctor uses, though some places may take up to two weeks. The test itself doesn’t diagnose celiac disease—it only shows whether you carry the genes that make celiac possible. About 30–40% of people have one of these genes, but only a small percentage actually develop celiac disease. However, if the test is negative for both genes, celiac disease becomes extremely unlikely, which is why your doctor mentioned possibly canceling the endoscopy if the result is negative. If it’s positive, it just means celiac remains a possibility and further testing, like a gluten challenge followed by endoscopy, helps confirm it. Since you have an identical twin, it’s definitely useful information to share if the genes are present, because twins share the same genetic risk. It sounds like you found a very thorough GI doctor, which is great, especially since she’s also monitoring nutrients and looking at the whole picture.

      @Heatherisle, You're not a bother at all.   What "Vitamin B medication" is she taking?  Is it just B12 and folate?   All eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals need to be supplemented because the malabsorption of Celiac disease affects all the nutrients.  All the B vitamins work together.  Just supplementing one or two can throw the other B vitamins out of balance causing worsening deficiencies in other B vitamins.  Doctors are undereducated about nutrition.  Heavy sigh. This is worrisome.  These are all symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi caused by Thiamine deficiency.   An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay needs too be done to check her Thiamine level.  But because this test is so expensive and takes so long for the results to come back, it's much simpler to administer 500 mg Thiamine Hydrochloride several times a day for several days and look for health improvement (WHO recommendation).  Doctors can administer Thiamine Hydrochloride by IV along with a "banana bag" with all the B vitamins in it.  (Riboflavin gives it the yellow color.).  I've experienced vitamin deficiencies which my doctors didn't recognize.  When thiamine and B12 deficiencies started affecting my brain function, my doctors wrote me off as a depressed hypochondriac.  I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi myself.  I took over the counter thiamine hydrochloride at home and had health improvement within an hour.  High doses (500 mg) of Thiamine are needed to "jump start" the body into proper functioning.   Apologies if I was curt.  I get very frustrated because the nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac disease are not addressed properly.  All I can do is tell people about what I learned on my Celiac journey.  Have you visited my blog?  Tap on my name, look for pull down menu Activities and go to blog.   I do hope your daughter can get the nutritional support she needs.  I'm very worried.  Please keep us updated!
