Here';s the response I got from the company:

Thank you for your kind feedback regarding Lumene!

We would kindly like to inform you that the only Lumene products which contain glutein are the Lumene Hydra Drops skin care products and the Hydra Drops foundation (makeup). The Hydra Drops -products contain oat extract.

Best regards,

LUMENE Cosmetics / Export

I'm psyched because their stuff looks great- it's all from Finland, reasonably priced and i'm always up for new cosmetics.

What drugstore? I'm going back out today to look for safe make up. So far I found Cover Girl lipsticks at Walgreens and Neutrogena foundation at Target. Had safe mascara but still looking for lip/eye liners and powder. I have never seen or heard of Lumene but I'll try if I can find.

I saw it at CVS (East Coast- I'm in New England) Not sure where else it is sold. I'll see if I can find out. B

Thanks! There is one not far from here but with all my vain attempts to find the correct items I'm going to call them before heading down there. It's less than 5 miles from me though. You are awesome to post this!!!

Thanks- I just thought their products looked really cool and I like to try new stuff. I'm a dork but when I wake up, I'm like "Oh right, I have a new shower gel!' but I've taken one too many chances lately and got glutened by a shampoo so this time I asked first. I'm going to go pick up some of their stuff in a few minutes so we'll have to comapre notes! Just remember no Hydra-Drop line 9that was actually my way of reminding myself as i walk out the door! :D ). B

I bought the face mask with Arctic peat in it (oooh- feel so exotic) and used it today. I liked it. I also bought the Mattifying wash for oily/combination skin which I will try tomorrow. did you have any luck? B

B--I use Bare Escentuals foundation, but don't love their mascara and their lip products are expensive considering I can't look at them before I buy. I never noticed this brand at CVS--and I'm in and out of there all the time! Going to take a look tomorrow--thanks!

I've heard Mary Kay is good...I use to work for them but I didn't know about celiac then, its a little more money but it will last you a long time. Most of the prodocts are all natural, which is good and bad :rolleyes:

Didn't make it to CVS yet. This deglutonizing the house thing took more time that I'd thought...and we still have stuff to do. In any case, I will just call the CVS tonight or tomorrow before going. After finding about three gluten-free soups in my reg. grocery store today (Publix) I just don't want to drive all the way to CVS to be dissappointed. I have a Sephora about 20 miles from me and they have lots of gluten-free lines but they are expensive and I'd like to buy something cheap if possible. At least Cover Girl (continuous color) lipstick is safe. It's cheap and in every drug store here. Oh and I got Neutrogena foundation which is gluten-free and I love it and also their tanning creme which is wonderful and less than $10.

I've heard the opposite about Mary Kay so you may want to verify this before using it. I used to sell Mary Kay and I loved it, but it was practically impossible to determine the ingredients in the products.

The smell of Mary Kay always bothered me so I never used it after getting one lipstick.

I found Lumene in my CVS. It looks like a great line. All I needed was lip liners/lipsticks which I got (under $8/$9) but I also got an eye liner since I was there. At their display they have free pamplets about - one each for the color and the skin care. When my cheaper gluten-free make up runs out, I'll probably switch over to this line. It's extremely affordable and they are promoting it as being what you'd normally get in the dept. stores for a lot more $. Yea!

Special thanks to Berneses! Without you I would never have heard of this line.

It really does look like a good line. I'm excited to try more of their stuff. I really like Bare Escentuals but it's pricey (although it does last a long time).

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
