I have been using Nutrogena for about a year and I just don't like it! I look fine for a couple of hours then it just looks greasy and gross.

What liquid foundation that is in a drug store (aka cheap) do you use? I really could use some suggestions, I look like crap :angry:

I have been doing research for gluten free foundations and concealer. Given the leisons that I have had for years I need make up to leave the house. I have felt I have been in a vicious cyle. I could never go long enough without make up to see if it was a problem.

I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Today I found that Bobbi Brown carries gluten-free products.

I have an appointment at the Boston Store (aka Macy's aka Marshall Field's) Friday.

You can stop in and feel confident with 7 products I know of so far. I should be getting a full list soon.

All over Bronzer, Corrector, Creamy concealer, x-spf-25 moisture balm, foundation stick

oil free even finish compact & foundation.

I hope this works!

Hi Hez,

I don't know if this is something that you'd be interested in because it's not a liquid, but I was at CVS the other day and saw that Neutrogena now has a mineral makeup. It's the minerals and brush all in one.

If the liquid is turning greasy on you, the minerals might work out better. I use Bare Escentuals, and love how natural the minerals look on my skin.

I honestly don't know the gluten status--I just noticed it while browsing. :)

I use Estee Lauder Equalizer. It's not a drug store foundation, and it's not cheap, but it lasts a very long time and looks good, never greasy, always natural.

Estee Lauder is a great foundation--I used it for years before switching to BE.

No one uses cheap foundatin anymore? Bummer. I might have to try bare essentuals. I just hate spending the money on make up. I would rather use it for gluten-free treats :P

I was so frustrated with the makeup thing I was beginning to think I'd have to go without. After noticing that a lot of people here were using Bare Minerals I checked it out, but it was just too expensive and "glowy" for me. Then I found Everyday Minerals and I AM LOVING IT!!! Mind you, I've never been one to get excited about makeup and am not particularly good with it, but now I actually enjoy putting it on and am having fun experimenting! You can get a FREE sample kit and it comes in a variety of formulas (matte, semi-matte, intensive, original glo) depending on your preference and skin type. Everything in their line is gluten free but the Finishing Dust (equivalent to BM veil) is made of zea mays (corn) although they will be introducing a corn-free version in the next week or so. Check them out at www.everydayminerals.com and save some of that money for gluten-free goodies :D

I tried that one...it doesn't cover any better than a pressed powder would. I should have know I needed to just buy the Bare Escentuals, lol. Somehow that $10 price tag looked a little more appealing to me :D .

Amy,

Thanks for letting us know about those minerals. I was considering trying them--the price tag caught my eye, too :lol: . I guess you get what you pay for B)

I am trying out the Neutrogena Health Skiny Enhancer. I know that is what you said you use. But actually I like it as well as the Prescriptives I used to use. I don't know if this was the particular formula you used or not. If not give it a try. If it is what you have been using and you cant find anything you like better you might look at your moisturizer. I did find the Nutrogena on the "greasy" side. So I stopped moisturizing before I put it on and It provides enough moisturizer. When I take it off at night I use moisturizer. I know all of the make up counter girls and Mary Kay ladies would tell me this is a recipie for wrinkles but I just am not buying it anymore. Good luck.

now a while ago I worked for ESTEE LAUDER .. and they have great stuff.

Their sister company CLinique was made for many people who have had allergies. I like the products ... But I am almost sure that almonds are in some of the products. SHeishedo is probably the most creamy cleanser I have ever tried. I am not sure if it has wheat in it . But it is the most luxurious make up ,, and borgesa is the best for nail polish.

but give the make up ingredients a whirl and see first .. maybe a call to your allergist .. they may have a list ..... its a try ... or check the web site and enquier. I would... because as we all know when you ask what is in things .. people get weird.

I haven't found anything in the Everyday Minerals line that isn't gluten free, and have never reacted to any of their makeup, but it's always good to check as they continue to add new products. I had almost given up on finding a gluten-free, soy-free lip stick or gloss, but have no problems with the Everyday Minerals potted lip gloss...HOORAY!

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
