Gluten Free Facial Cleansers?

Does anyone have any information on whether or not MD Formulations product line is all gluten free? They are the same company as Bare Escentuals, which I gather from reading the posts here, is a gluten-free product line. Most product lines I have looked at are some gluten-free some not and I worry about cross contamination. I also need a line that has sensitive skin products (for me) and acne/teen products (for dd).

Thanks for any info!

I use Mychelle skin care products. You can get them at Whole Foods or at www.mychelleusa.com They are all gluten free and natural and very good.

I e-mailed them to ask about their facial cleanser, Vit A Plus eye creme, Vit A Plus night recovery, Moisture Defense antioxidant serum, facial lotion, and Moisture Defense antioxidant eye creme. Here is their response:

I was very impressed because they e-mailed me back the same day on a Sunday.

I switched to MyChelle recently and like it quite a bit. Also, my stepdaughter has some issues with acne and was using ProActiv which I hate (treats your skin really badly, even if it does work). MyChelle has a whole program for acne prone skin. She uses it. Her skin is not completely perfect on it - but healthier. She has quit the ProActiv.

The stuff really smells good too.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.

      Definitely useful info. Thank you!

      It's possible that your doctor wants you to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and if that is the case that could be why they don't want you to go gluten-free before that procedure is done.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist and an allergist for many years. The allergist has run many tests for my skin issues, but concluded I am not allergic to anything. I do occasionally get hives and am on daily medication to control the hives and other rashes or similar issues. At my last appt with allergist recently, I informed them of my new diagnosis of celiac disease. They said that it has nothing to do with my skin issues. They didn’t even put it in my chart. I know because I read the notes from the visit on the patient portal. However, your post has me second guessing my skin issues and possible connection to celiac disease.
