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 They do not publish a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?

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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
