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 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

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Buckwheat

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
