What Lipstick Do You Use?

I'm confused - I just got this list from Loreal of the ingredients in their products that contain gluten - maltodextrin being one of them. I thought maltodextrin was one of the "safe" things we could eat (I remember thinking it was not safe b/c of the word "malt" but then being corrected that it WAS safe) - what's the deal?

The following list of ingredients that are used in our products, are those that contain wheat and other grains. This list may also be used by the celiac patient to identify gluten-containing ingredients. This list gives the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.

I think maltodextrin is only generally safe when its used in food. When it's in cosmetics or medication, I believe that's a whole different situation. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not entirely positive on that one.

I believe that maltodextrin used in 'food' products in the U.S. is usually made from corn. However it is common for it to be made from barley and usually is in foods from other countries. You MUST ALWAYS check with the manufacturer. Even brands that you know, if produced in a facility outside the U.S. can have different ingredients. Cosmetics and meds are totally different. Ingredients come from all over the world.

Just got the okay on Outlast Lipstick & gloss by CoverGirl. (It was like pulling teeth to get it, but I just love this lipstick-- it has no perfumey taste & stays put all day. You do have to reapply the gloss frequently, but you can do that without looking in the mirror!)

I use Outlast, too, but don't really like the gloss. I use something else that stays on longer.

I'm confused about Cover Girl then. Aren't they owned by Proctor and Gamble who sent many of us a form letter stating that they could not tell us what products in any of the cosmetic lines were gluten free? How did you get someone to tell you the Cover Girl Outlast l/s is gluten free?

So far two companies have told me they have some gluten-free lipsticks - Lumene and Neutrogena. I have 6 from Lumene and two from Nertrogena. I have to mix several together to get the color I want. I think Bare Essentials and Bare Minerals have some gluten-free lipsticks (but not all) but does anyone know of some other cheap (drugstore brands) that you found out were gluten free? My Mother told me today she'd neglected to get new lipstick after being gluten-free for a week. I know none of Lumenes colors are dark enough for her and she can find hardly Neutrogena ones in stock anywhere in her town.

If you don't know of cheap brands, then tell me about any department store brands that you know are gluten free. We need all the help we can get.

I spend half a day reading ingredientes, I bought Revlon as cheap brand, and last week end I bought Elizabeth Arden. REvlon has a lot of nice colors.

DONT BUY Clinique, DONT BUY Estee Lauder.

I am terribly sorry that you guys have gotten the response from Mary kay that you did. I am a Mary Kay Consultant and have been for 13 years. I was diagnosed in August and that was the first thing I did was check with the company. And the lipsticks are safe as are most of their products if not all. They do list all of their ingredients for every product that is available to us consultants. And going through everything, and working with medical relations, are products are safe. I never stopped using them, and I am doing great! I hope this helps clear up some information.

I want to ditto this! I am also a consultant, and currently, the only products with any kind of wheat or oat ingredient listed are 1) Nail Polish 2) Advanced Moisture Renewal Cream 3) Concealer 4) Eye Primer. (I poured through my ingredient book!) So the Concealer is a bummer, but I don't need it when I use their foundation, it is pretty covering.....but I just wanted to put this info out there. The consultants have a book called "Comsumers Guide to Ingredients" that list every ingredient and what it does, so whoever you call should be able to tell you exactly what is in it, and what that product does. I think that letter was a legal mumbo-jumbo way of making sure they don't get sued (and that happens all of the time!), and also old, as they haven't sold vitamins for at least 4 years!

Kind of a loophole... they will not guarrantee any product with outsourced components, but I pestered them until they finally divulged the info that there were no outsourced components in this product... why they couldn't have told me that in the first place... but never mind. I have a thread on this subject with all the messages (ever increasing in frustration level!) that it took to get them to tell me this simple fact.

In my brief experience as a Celiac, I have found that in order to get information from CYA companies, it is best to pester them mercilessly, ask for executives' addresses, & stress the number of Celiacs they are likely to offend by refusing information. (I always mention that I will post their responses on Celiac.com!)

I've also found that some companies will tell you things over the phone that they won't put in writing. Of course, that means if the info is wrong, you'll have no proof. I'm thinking of getting one of those phones that records calls!

About the lipstick, I should caution that this okay only applies to the Outlast variety. I didn't ask about any of the others since I don't use them.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Jillian83 · Posted

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis after years of suffering without answers. I lost my mind. I lost my job. I lost so much time. I lost Me. Conventional doctors are opulent come near me and the one who did sat across the room, misdiagnosed me, pumped me full of steroids which collapsed my entire hip for 6 months. So without answers I began my holistic journey. Fast forward a couple of years and still struggling with a mysterious whole body itchy, crawling “skin hell”, perfect teeth now deteriorating, thick hair now thinning rapidly and no more than a day or 2 at most relief….An acquaintance opened up a functional medicine practice. Cash only, I found a way. Within a month tests clearly showing my off the charts gluten allergy/sensitivity as well as the depletion of vital nutrients due to leaky gut and intestinal damage. dermatitis herpetiformis was more than likely what I was experiencing with my skin. I was happy. I thought this is easy, eat healthy Whole Foods, follow the diet restrictions and I finally get to heal and feel confident and like myself again very soon! 😔 Supplements are very pricey but I got them and began my healing. Which leads to the other major issue: not working, stay at home Mom of young kids, entirely financially dependent on my man of 7 plus years. He’s never been supportive of anything I’ve ever done or been thru. He controls everything. I’m not given much money ever at a time and when he does leave money it’s only enough to possibly get gas. His excuse is that I’ll spend it on other things. So my “allowance” is inconsistent and has conditions. He withholds money from me as punishment for anything he wants. Since being diagnosed, he’s gained a new control tactic to use as punishment. He now is in control of when I get to eat. He asked for proof of my diagnosis and diet bc he said I made it up just to be able to eat expensive organic foods. Then after I sent him my file from my doctor he then said she wasn’t a real doctor. 😡. I go days upon days starving, sometimes breaking down and eating things I shouldn’t bc I’m so sick then I pay horribly while he gets annoyed and angry bc I’m not keeping up with all the duties I’m supposed to be doing. His abuse turns full on when I’m down and it’s in these desperate times when I need his support and care the most that I’m punished with silence, being starved, ignored, belittled. He will create more of a mess just bc I’m unable to get up and clean so that when I am better, I’m so overwhelmed with chores to catch up that the stress causes me to go right back into a flare from hell and the cycle repeats. I’m punished for being sick. I’m belittled for starving and asking for healthy clean water. I’m purposely left out of his life. He won’t even tell me he’s going to the grocery or to get dinner bc he doesn’t want me to ask him for anything. I have no one. I have nothing. Im not better. My supplements ran out and I desperately need Vitamin D3 and a methylated B complex at the very minimal just to function….he stares at me blankly…no, a slight smirk, no words. He’s happiest when im miserable and I am miserable.  this is so long and im condensing as much as I can but this situation is so complicated and disgusting. And it’s currently my life. The “IT” girl, the healthy, beautiful, perfect skin, perfect teeth, thick and curly locks for days, creative and talented IT girl….now I won’t even leave this house bc Im ashamed of what this has dont to my body, my skin. Im disgusted. The stress is keeping me from healing and I think he knows that and that’s why he continues to keep me in that state. He doesn’t want me confident or successful. He doesn’t want me healed and healthy bc then how would he put the blame of all his problems on me? This journey has been hell and I’ve been in Hell before. I’ve been killed by an ex, I’ve been raped, robbed, held hostage, abused beyond nightmares but the cruelty I’ve experienced from him bc of this disease is the coldest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to give up. Starving and in tears, desperate…I found a local food pantry in our small town so I reached out just saying I had Celiac and was on hard times. This woman is blessing me daily with prepared gluten free meals, donations, educational info, people who know this disease and how they manage life and the blessings just keep coming. But it’s overwhelming and I feel like I don’t deserve it at all. He just glared and I know he’s going to sabotage it somehow. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m so broken and just want peace and healing.

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana
