Newly Diagnosed

Well, they called me Friday to say I've been officially diagnosed with Celiac's via bloodwork and biopsy (my son was diagnosed in June). So now I have a few questions about make up. I use Este Lauder eye cream, cover up, blush and powder and revlon lipstick. Has anyone had any experience with these brands and finding out if they are gluten free? I also take lexapro and costco calcium supplements. The pharmacy wasn't really helpful on whether or not they were gluten free or not. I know a lot of you have a lot of experience in this and I would appreciate the help. I'm still in a bit of a shock. My main symptoms are sores in my mouth, tired and brain fog and minimal gastro symptoms. My son is very much symptomatic so I didn't think I would have it. Anyways, thanks for the help! This board has been very insightful!

Don't really have any advice to give . . . I don't wear makeup because I'm too lazy. But I know that CarlaB used to seel Estee Lauder . . . I think that's what she said! Hopefully she'll chime in - she undoubtedly knows more about the makeup side of celiac than I do!

I do know that Lexapro is gluten free.

Lipsticks are tricky and have lables that are almost impossible to read. Alot of Mac Lipsticks are gluten free and some Clinique

If you google their sites, they will give you their products lists.

Also Burts Bee's lipsticks and glosses are gluten free.

I don't know about Revlon lipsticks, but I know their foundations contain wheat protein :o I would call or email them about the products that you are using.

I use Nautrogena lipstick, lip gloss and lip tints.

I use all Neutrogena products except their microdermabrasion kit -- which happens to contain the EXACT beads that they use in the dermatologist's office. It does, however, contain wheat protein. So, no way. But like Patti, I use their lipsticks, their lip smoothers and lip tints.

Almost all Bare Escentuals products are gluten-free ---- except their lotions and that new stuff they have for at night. Also, a few of their lipsticks contain gluten -- not many, but you have to watch.

Nars products (found this out from Jenvan when we went shopping at Sephora!) are all gluten-free -- and they're pretty great! Makes me happy!

I have the neutrogena "safe" list -- the only thing that concerns me about it, though, is that it says that these products don't contain WHEAT -- or something like that. They don't say GLUTEN. Kind of makes me a little nervous, but no one else has had a reaction, so I'm banking that it's safe. It's kind of hard for me to know when I've been "glutened". . . . . If you want the list, I'll be happy to forward it to you . . . just PM me your e-mail!

Thanks for the advice! Another crazy question, what about dye in food coloring and food. Can that also contain gluten? My nutritionist wasn't much help. Thanks!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      Celiac getting dentures

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
