For five days I have had the classic D, and lower back pain is comming back. I am fairly confident it is not a food issue as I have been really careful and check with the Delfi List often.

I think it is in the cosmetics. This is what I use daily:

Oil of Olay Soap

Dove Sampoo

Lubridurm Cream (no oats)

Crest

Clinique Lipstick and Burt's Bees

Cover Girl Blush (I try to be careful as don't know if it is gluten-free)

Aleve for headaches

Mac and Bare Essentials are not available any where close. We cook on the grill alot and only use 100% hardwood charcoal. I can't think of anything else new to my diet other than Ragu Pizza Sauce with eggplant and onions (as a side dish, no crust obviously).

Does anything ring a bell for anyone.

**Could it be the Clinique Lipstick? If so are they any CVS brands that are gluten-free?

Thanks for your help. Lisa

I feel like I am playing a game show. Ok thanks for joining us for this eppisode of "Find the Hidden Gluten" :lol:

I noticed the other day that my favorite "flavor" of the oil of olay soap is now "with oats". :ph34r: I used to use the purple label bottle. Check to see if that is the same kind you used.

Wasn't there recently a post about wheat being in charcoal??? You may want to look for that.

And personally, if I take Aleve for may then two days in a row I get D. Do you feel glutened or just the D?

My Cover Girl blush (wich I just threw away) had oat flour listed as an ingredient. If there isn't an ingredient label on yours, you may want to throw it away and start over again just in case. Unless of course you find out where the mystery gluten is coming from. I'm positive that mine was Cover Girl and the oat flour was clearly labeled on mine.

Aleve is gluten free. Crest is gluten free. The Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm is gluten free. I don't know for sure about any of the others. I believe Unliver (Dove shampoo) pledges to clearly list gluten containing ingredients. Maybe someone else could verify this since I'm not positive.

Hi Lisa--My vote would be either the lipstick or the blush--the rest looks ok to me. I get Neutrogena Moistureshine Lip Gloss and Lipsticks at CVS. Lots of options there.

Bare Escentuals are available at sephora.com and at qvc.com.

Yes, Unilever will list everything that is in it as I have spoken with them personally. Actually 2 different people called me back to assure me of it.

Lisa, I tried to get Clnique ingredients and haven't had luck so far - the website was useless and I haven't contacted the company yet. I did get a response from L'Oreal - I use their Endless 8-hour Lipstick (color is 830 - "naked ambition" - a pinkish neutral that seems to look great on everybody, FYI!) Here's the nice note they sent:

February 22, 2006

Thank you for your interest in Endless 8 Hour Comfortable Lipcolour.

The safety of our consumers is our highest priority. As a global leader, the L'Oréal group of companies, which includes L'Oréal Paris, is dedicated to rigorous standards of manufacturing excellence that result in the highest product quality. The products we sell meet the most stringent standards for safety.

All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or the label of the product itself.

This dictionary lists FDA-approved names.

Endless 8 Hour Comfortable Lipcolour does not contain Gluten.

If you would like to request an ingredient list for a specific product, please call us at 1-800-322-2036, Monday - Friday, 9 am to 5 pm, ET.

Thank you all, my good friends here. I do think that it is the Clinique lipstick. I will revert back to Burts Bees lip gloss for many days to verify.

The Cover Girl Blush has not effected me, but going out tomorrow. Any suggestions for blush. I am looking at the last week and the only introduction was the Clinique lipstick. (at $15.00).

Lipsticks-----L'Oreal, Endless - eight hours

Neurtrogema - Gloss and Lipstick - Gluten Free Available at CVS.

I most likely could work out this problem, but there are so many new people that post and I feel that this will help. I have been gluten free since August 2005 and there are still issues that we all deal with in our day to day lives. There are traps every day that we cal fall into.

Thank you all for your posts and I am sure that it will be helpful to many others. That's what we are all about. Helping each other.

Lisa---I hope you are feeling better! I know it is so frustrating when you aren't sure what the problem is. Hopefully, maybe the other suggestions will have taken care of the problem. I take it you haven't been eating out lately? Just wanted to double check.

Lisa, I bought a Clinique lipstick a couple of weeks ago. The salesperson read the ingredients for me and told me it was wheat free (I have bad eyesight). Anyway, when I got home I had my kids double check and guess what - YES it contains wheat.

So I had to take it back - not impressed let me tell you. I bought an Elizabeth Arden one instead.

I think its definitely your lipstick!

If you search for Clinique on here I know there is a post about it. I know my lipsticks were ok from there. But some of their stuff does have gluten.

I called my local McRae's clinique counter and they said all the lipsticks were gluten-free. I had my doubts tat the time since the girl didn't sound very knowlegeable. She was just reading ingredient lists, but she was really trying to help. For now i"m using chapstick!

Clinique is under a huge umbrella of companies including MAC, Estee Lauder i think, and several others.

They always list gluten ingredients, and while it won't always be clear, it will always be listed. The only ingredients on a list that were gluten and didn't say "wheat" or "oats" is when they used the scientific name. I believe trictum vulgare is the scientific name for wheat. Make sure you look for that.

I found the post with the full listing of ingredients!

Ragu is gluten-free and Dove will clearly indicate gluten in their ingredient lists.

I wrote to a customer service rep for Clinique (I believe her e-mail was posted here somewhere, her name was Justine I believe, I will look for my e-mail)...

She checked all of the products from Clinique that I use, and Some of my lipsticks were OK, some were not. I believe the Color Surge ones were, but other ones were not... this was the e-mail from the "generic" customer service... but this other lady was super helpful... I'm still trying to find it... but here is the ones I asked about....

"Thank you for your interest in Clinique.

With regard to your inquiry, the following products do not contain gluten,

Glosswear for Lips

Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick

Foaming Mousse Cleanser

Acne Solutions Antibacterial Facial Soap

Clarifying Lotion 3

Rinse-off eye makeup solvent

Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam

Pore minimizer Thermal-active skin refiner

Moisture Surge Extra thirsty skin relief oil free

However, Dramatically Different Moisture Gel does contain a barley extract &

Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream contains barley and wheat germ extract.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. We hope you will look to

Clinique for all your skin care and fragrance needs.

Sincerely,

David Cuffari

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
