Because I had my best week yet while I was on vacation, even though I thought the risk for CC would be high, I have started taking a careful look at all my cosmetics. I didn't wear any makeup while on vacation, so that was a reasonable place to start.

Most of my stuff is Clinique, and they are sort of annoying...they won't give a safe/not-safe list. You have to ask about specific products. I got the following info about the products I use. The Stop Signs Hand Repair is awesome, by the way...my hands get so dry this time of year and this stuff makes them soft!

Does not contain gluten:

Stop Signs Hand Repair Lotion

Colour Surge Lipstick Palette

Colour Surge Bare Brilliance Lipstick

Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher

Naturally Glossy Mascara

Brow Shaper

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Soft Shimmer

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Super Shimmer

High Impact Eye Shadow

Contains gluten:

High Impact Mascara

Eye Defining Shadow Duo and Liner

Anyway, I thought this might help someone else. I will probably phase out of Clinique and switch to Bare Escentuals, but it's nice to not have to do it all at once. I only have to trash two items! :D

Clinique...which makes such a big deal out of saying they are free of allergy ingredients...appear to mostly contain some form of wheat. I wrote them, and here's their response:

-------------

Thank you for your interest in Clinique.

We appreciate the opportunity to explain that we do not have a

comprehensive list of products that contain or do not contain gluten.

However, if you would kindly provide us with the specific products names

and shades with which you are interested, we will be happy to have our

chemist check for each of them.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. We hope you will look to

Clinique for all your skin care and cosmetic needs.

Sincerely,

Dana Gambuto

I got that same email at first too, but when I replied with the list of things I use, they told me which ones have gluten in less than a day's time. And most didn't. Do you have another reason to think that most of their products contain wheat?

**ok, I checked, 2 are color surge, but one is long last...anyone know about the long last???

I took them all back, and now I'm not sure I'll remember them all. I was in the store when I returned them, and I looked at the boxes. Those with wheat were Redness Relief Cream, Stop Signs Eyes, the Repairwear products (eye cream, etc.). The clerk said "All about eyes" also had wheat. So I made the assumption that a lot of them must have it. I could be wrong. I know nothing about their makeup products as I don't use them. However, I've got a bunch of Bobbi Brown things I have to check out.

Dramatically different moisturizing lotion is also gluten-free.

Clinique anything made me break out way back to the first time I used it. Thanks for the posting. It confirmed what my body told me.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post really highlights the financial and emotional struggle so many families face. You are not alone in feeling frustrated by the high cost of gluten-free specialty items and the frustrating waste when your daughter can't tolerate them. A great place to start is by focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods that are often more affordable and less processed, like rice, potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, eggs, and frozen fruits and vegetables—these are nutritional powerhouses that can form the basis of her meals. For the specialty items like bread and pasta, see if your local stores carry smaller, single-serving packages or allow returns if a product causes a reaction, as some companies understand this challenge. Regarding vitamins, that is an excellent next step; please ask her doctor to prescribe a high-quality gluten-free multivitamin, as insurance will often cover prescribed vitamins, making them much more affordable. Finally, connecting with a local celiac support group online can be a treasure trove of location-specific advice for finding the best and most affordable products in your area, saving you both time and money on the trial-and-error process.

      Gluten Allergy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum--and you are absolutely not alone in your experience with a non-celiac gluten sensitivity that presents with severe constipation and profound inflammatory consequences. While the more commonly discussed symptoms are diarrhea-centric, your reaction is a valid and documented, though less common, manifestation. It is completely understandable to feel isolated, especially after moving to an area with less familiarity with this specific presentation, but your vigilance in protecting your remaining colon is not just justified, it is critically important. Your history of autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's) further supports the likelihood of your body mounting a significant inflammatory response to gluten. Many in this community share similar frustrations with a skeptical medical community and the social challenges of maintaining a strict diet, so please know you have found a place where your condition is believed and understood. Staying gluten-free to prevent further damage is the safest path for your health, and we are here to support you in that crusade.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I've never had an issue this side of the pond. If I'm out I drink Bulmers Cider. Sometimes draft and sometimes bottled. The draft cider lines are for Cider only.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior?  the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I am out, if I decide to drink, I usually order a cider brand that I know is gluten free.    what I’ve noticed is that a couple times when I got a draft cider, I got symptoms of being  glutened that night and the day after. This doesn’t seem to happen with all times I drink cider. I had a draft at a very clean brewery and I didn’t react from that, which is what made me start to wonder. Does anyone know if this is a possible source of getting glutened? I am like 99% sure that this is the cause and I think I’ll switch to bottle/can only from here on out, but would be interested if others experienced the same thing (or work in a bar and know how this works). Thanks!

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Mykidzz3 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am at struggling finding gluten-free food for my 17-year-old daughter who has celiac disease. she finds things that she thinks she would like she takes a bite and ends up in the trash gluten-free food happens to be very expensive. I collect Foodstamps and I contacted the county to see if I could get extra Foodstamps due to her, so the ex disease, considering the food cost more. I am running out of options. Most stores don’t carry gluten-free stuff and we spend majority of our time looking at the ingredients and get frustrated because everybody’s looking at us, wondering what we’re doing and what we’re looking for so I’m struggling as a mom to find the best options for my daughter that she would like, and I didn’t know that he could also affect her mental health she does get a check up every six months, but our biggest thing is getting her on a good vitamin one that the doctor can call in because we have insurance and just trying to find food that she could eat and not waste we waste almost $200 a month and just gluten-free food that she just throws in the trash or that to sit on the shelf and go to wasteso if you have any ideas, please feel free to contact me with any ideas
