Clinique Products

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?

a great big thank you! I use clinique!!!!! as I said on another post, prior to this board, I never thought about topical gluten! How stupid! Have to check my lipsticks now! Like everyone here, I spend extra money for gluten-free food, in the meantime my lipstick could be glutening me!

**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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
