Hi everyone!

I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am still getting bloated and feeling sick nightly! I am very meticulous about what I eat, so I am starting to think it is the other products I use that are making me ill. I need to switch brands of a lot of beauty products and I would love some suggestions....

does anybody know of gluten free:

-daily face lotion?

-daily body lotion?

-Shaving cream?

-dental floss?

-hair products for curly/frizzy hair?

and on another note.... are all wines gluten free?

All suggestions are welcome! Thank you so much in advance!

-Dana

I like lubriderm lotion, Paul Mitchell intense daily moisture shampoo and conditioner, Dove hair care and skin lotions...there are a few exceptions but gluten will not be hidden so just read the label, Garnier Fructis has been reported to be gluten-free but I don't use them.

Dove bodywash is a good replacement for shaving cream . Vaseline is gluten-free and a great nightly face cream.

Lipsticks are very important to be gluten-free. Do a search and you'll find lots of suggestions. The Bare Essentials line is mostly gluten-free and really nice.

Wines....YES thank goodness!!!! :) I think you are safe with straight wine. Wine Coolers need to be checked for malt.

You might have a intolerance to lactose if you are bloated all the time.

Good luck and this gluten-free thing does get easier once you learn how to play the game.......

Hi Tigger,

My first seven months I felt similar to what you are describing, and I went downhill rapidly, and ended up in the hospital... Now I know i was on my death bed, but no one told me because they thought I'd be scared (I was just living as normally as I could, trying to finish my degree!). Just telling you to really make sure that you take all the steps possible. Gluten is tricky! Welcome to our forums.

I'm don't use face lotion because my cleanser has a nice moisturizer, but I do use Dove's Daily Facial cleanser. For body lotion, I use Vaseline Intensive Care or Burt's Bees Hand Salve. Shaving cream... Well, I'm a soap and water + lotion later type of girl. Dental floss I use Johnson and Johnson's, but I do believe Crest and Colgate are both also gluten-free (not positive though). For curly/frizzy hair, I LOVE Dove products, but I don't have that type of hair... However, I have irritating hair in the sense that it is very fine, so I needed a good shampoo, and use their mousse to scrunch it wavy. The last time I called (about a month ago) they confirmed that all their products are gluten-free, and they do list all sources if that were to change. But I do recommend Dove.

Regarding wine, I can't drink it because of sulphites and casein, but I do believe that most, if not all, wines are gluten-free.

are you using products that are "wheat free" (which is not necessarily gluten free)?

How often do you eat places other than home?

Regarding curly hair.... i have struggled with mine for a long time and FINALLY found products i LOVE. so i'd recommend them to anyone with curly hair (celiac or not) and i have never seemed to have problems with them. they are: Catwalk by TIGI "Curls Rock" Shampoo and Conditioner. I also use the same line of stuff in this wierd pump cream stuff called "curl amplipher"....can't live without it. you can find them in most salons-moderatley priced-but not bad. its about $12 per thing (but they have deals all the time that make it cheaper or get one for free). I also use a little Dove mousse for curly hair. Hope this is helpful!

Also on this note...does anyone know if Benefit "the gloss" lipglosses are gluten free?

thanks! kms

Thank you!! I'm going to go to the store today and get those curly hair products.

In response to the other post, I try not to eat out that much but I'm in college so it is very hard.

I can't figure out why I am still getting bloating and feeling bad all the time. I am very good about not eating gluten so it is very frustrating.

Sorry I don't know if that lip gloss is gluten-free, what mascara do you guys use? Are clinque powders/blushes gluten-free?

Are all Dove lotions/hair products/ soaps etc. gluten-free?

Thank you!! :)

Dana

i'm in college also and find i feel out of sorts sometimes too. i credit it to having to eat out occasionally and not being EXACTLY sure what you're eating because i'm careful with what i make too. my dining center also prepares meals separetly for me and this other gluten-free girl so i know i'm ok there (well, pretty sure). hope you get to feeling better!

Hi Dana :)

NARS says all thier makeup is gluten free. i use thier eyeshadow, blush, bronzer and lipgloss. its kind of expensive but lasts a long time. you can get it at sephora or department stores.

also MAC has a really good list of what is gluten free and what is not but they wont give it out so you have to call them. i use thier lip gloss, eye shadow and blush as well.

to wash my face i use cetaphil for sesitive skin- all their others products they say might have gluten.

i use loreal vive shampoo and kerastase conditioner.

speak to you soon

I have used the Catwalk Oatmeal & Honey shampoo before, used to love it, but started to react to it...have since switched to Dove. I took a closer look at the Catwalk products today and checked out the Curls Rock Shampoo...It has wheat clearly listed in the ingredients. I didn't see the same in the Amplifier, but would want to ask the company for clarification. Given that two of their shampoos have suspect ingredients, I wouldn't be surprised that the whole line does. I haven't seen the same listed in my Bed Head products...I hope I don't have to give up my "Manipulator"...that stuff is the best! :)

Hello to all..

Just wanted to add that all Elf Makeup products are gluten free. Also they are do unbelievably cheap. I discovered this line if makeup when my granddaughter was wanting to learn to apply makeup correctly. I took her to KMart and bought everything she needed, all made by Elf because of the price. Their items are usually $3 each. I was shocked at the variety and the quality. I could not believe they were also gluten-free! I only wear Elf products now. It has saved me a great deal of money and time since I don't have to get foundation by one manufacturer and mascara by another.

Hope this helps some.

Oh, I live in Oregon and we have a lot if wineries here. I have been told that white wine is gluten free but many red wines are not. The reason being is that flour paste is used in many of the wine wine barrels as a glue. The white wine is in a metal container.

This is a wonderful forum... bless us all!

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
