I'v e been going back and forth everyday and thought if we have a "favorite" product we could share what it is. I'm new and going shopping. If someone has a favorite blush, any make-up, skin care,shampoo, conditioner, vitamin, etc It would be so helpful and much simplier. There are tons of products out there, so between the brain frog from being gluttened and the choices it would be so helpful! Thanks LindaLee p.s. I'll learn how to put an icon on eventually.

I use Emenince face cleanser/moisturizer and Bare Minerals and glo Minerals Make-up. Emenince is not all gluten-free though. You have to read the label. But it is all natural, organic ingredients, so if there is gluten in there at all, it will be on the label. I have also read posts from others who have said that Bare Minerals cleansers and stuff are not gluten-free, but I don't use those, just the make-up. And I really like both!

I use Alterna Caviar Shampoo and Conditioner. The hairspray is not gluten-free.

I use Estee Lauder Equalizer foundation, and their lip pencils and eye pencils.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head ...

Ah! I love Mary Kay. I used to sell it (and I am still a consultant, but I don't use a lot of their stuff anymore). I like the Bare Mineral foundation much more than the MK foundation. And their nail polish has gluten in it, by the way. One of the mascara's did too, but they phased that one out, so if yours is less than 3 months old, then you shouldn't have on of the ones that had wheat protien in it. Anyway, cool!

Is Emenince something to get at the health food store? Is the glo minerals from bare minerals? Alot of people seem to like bare essentials they call it - I think its the same

Actually, I get Eminence from my local spa (where my aesthetician was the one who noticed a difference in my skin when I went gluten-free) and she suggested an organic brand. She found this stuff for me, and liked it so much, that she started selling it there! They have a website too, double-u double-u double-u dot eminenceorganics dot com. (I was spelling it wrong earlier, it is e-m-i-n-e-n-c-e). And I think Bare Essentials is the company name, and Bare Minerals is the name of the make-up. glo Minerals is a different mineral make-up company all their own. It is a little more expensive, but they have some things that Bare Minerals don't have, like a pressed powder mineral compact.

We like the shampoo bar from BeanTree because it is just olive oil with no added worries (of course, lye to make it soap! LOL)

I like the aubrey organics line of products. They are very skin safe.

I use their sunblocks and I also use Alba sunblocks.

I use Aubrey's silk transculent powder for face.

Homemade lip gloss/balm is easy to make, and we do that at home.

They have 3 different kinds, they have the regular clear one, then they have one with gold flecks and one with silver I think. The ones with flecks are venom flash.

The lip venom (regular) is great, too!

It's safe. I found it on here somewhere where someone called them. Either way, no reaction :)

I'll be honest, I'm not very careful about makeup or skincare but so far have had no problems. I use a face lotion that I love but it's not a name brand you can buy. It's manufacture by one of the companies that makes the makeup for the larger brands but I think only smaller private labels use it.

Right now I am using a Giorgio Armani foundation, Clinique concealer, Nars and Fresh Blush, Laura Mercier Bronzer and Mac Lipsticks. The only one I checked out is the lipsticks and are confirmed gluten-free. The others must be fine because I have no problems.

For shampoo I'm currently using John Frieda highlighting shampoo, Finesse conditioner and some frizz taming thing from Biolage.

But I kinda just use whatever I get from the beauty sales at work. I rarely ever buy makeup or hair products.

Oh, one thing I do buy is this awesome chapstick. I don't think you can get it in the US. I had a tube that a friend gave me to try after a trip in Europe, and last time DH went to Canada for business he brought me back a ton. It's called Lobello. It's the best Chapstick ever!! (And it's cheap).

I'm using Laura Mercier concealer and Nars lipstick, blush and bronzer -- both brands are completely gluten-free, according to the calls I made.

I swap between a Lorac lip polish and a Delux lipgloss over my chapstick.

I've been swapping between Aveda Sap Moss shampoo (gluten-free -- the conditioner isn't) and Dove -- using the Dove conditioner most of the time.

Thank you! I'm going to order the clear (QVC carries it). My lips are looking older than I do :ph34r:

Just a warning: it stings for a few minutes after you put it on! It's not bad though, just spicy, and the effects are worth it ;)

Oh, and warn your husband before you kiss him! He might not enjoy that much...men aren't into the pain is beauty thing :P

Coconut oil is also good in the kitchen! I especially like it on air popped popcorn ... half butter, half coconut oil, with some sea salt and Bragg's Liquid Aminos! It's a natural cure for candida.

I've also used it after the shower while I'm still wet as a moisturizer (not the same jar as is used in the kitchen :blink: )

I pop popcorn with it too (separate jar in the kitchen of course :D ).

It is amazing as a moisturizer though!

I also have to sing the praises of popcorn popped old fashion style with coconut oil. UMMMMM!!

It's good to know I can use it as a mousturizer, the ever all-purpose coconut oil :)

And, it's a misconception that coconut oil is bad for you!! It's only the processed, hydrogenated, garbage that is bad. Some saturated fat is good for you and this is one of them! Of course, that's as hard to explain to people as celiac disease is! :P

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
