Ok so I just found out that for real I can not have gluten in my lipstick or face wash or face lotion etc. so now I am sitting here amid a very expensive pile of lipstick, chapstick, face wash, face toner & birth control pills that I can not figure out if I can use or not!!!!! Screw these companies that say they are sorry but they can not guarantee their products are gluten free. That is such discrimination. Anyway enough venting! How do I find out if I can use all this stuff or not? I have gotten all the info I can from the delphi list but none of the rest of this stuff is on it. Can anyone help me? Sprintec birth control, Alba/Avalon organics facial products, Body Shop Vit. C facial cleanser, Bonne Bell Lipsmackers (not LIQUID lipsmackers,) Revlon lipstick, Maybelline Lipstick. Where can I look for a list or does anyone use these products as gluten-free?

thank you sooooooooooooooo much!!

I found this information on Revlon:

Revlon Canada Ltd.

(status as of July 2004)

Please call (905) 276-4500 with your product inquiries

and they will research it for you. They do not publish a

gluten free list.

As for gluten free medications, I usually check the website www.glutenfreedrugs.com. I checked for you and Sprintec seems to be gluten free. You may want to call the company just in case. I know it's a pain, but I called the cosmetic companies of all the products I use to verify whether they're gluten-free.

Whats the verdict on Aveeno? I've got two bottles of body wash and the face wash.

Should i give them away, or should they be alright?

Carriefaith Enthusiast

Doesn't Aveeno use oats in their products?

On the delphi list it says all Bonne Bell are gluten-free except for anything with strawberry flavour in it.

This is what Bonne Bell emailed me today. Too bad. I was a real fan of lipsmackers!

The products that contain glutens are the following. The gluten is in the form of Wheat Germ Oil.

1. Sun Smackers

2. Clip N Go Lip Smackers

3. Megastar Lip Smackers

4. Original Lip Smackers (in the chapstick type tube)

All other products that The Bonne Bell Company makes are gluten and wheat free.

Do you have DH? I have never had to worry about skin and makeup with gluten-free (except lipstick because you eat it off) and I am a super-sensitive celiac. Did the doctor tell you not to use gluten-free skin products? I would do some reseach on that before you throw away all of your creams.

OOPS, I forgot to tell you that Mary Kay Signature Listicks are gluten-free.

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/
