I thought that I read my make-up thourghly but I guess I didn't. My revlon foundation has right in the middle of the ingredients there it was WHEAT PROTIEN YUK also my maybelline blush OAT FLOUR Well I guess now that I will have my son read all my make-up since he can see better than me. I thought I had covered my make-up, but i guess not good enough.

So watch out newbies check everything. I still new at this but I thought I would pass this along. :)

I read in the book "Celiac Disease: A Hidden Epidemic" that the only make up you need to check for is lipstick or chapstick becuase it can go into the you GI tract. Make up suchs as foundation or blush cant get into your GI tract, so your make up should be okay, but I still avoid make up with wheat, Im scared!

With all due respect to Dr. Green (I own, and have read his book), I don't think that really works very well in the real world.

Many of us have found out the hard way that it is important to keep our personal care products and makeup gluten-free. It's just too easy for these products to find their way into our mouths.

I managed to get glutened early on by a hair gel I was using. I happen to be a nail-biter, so that's how it got me. But think about preparing your food, licking your finger, etc.

I'm glad that you are avioding makeup with gluten--I think that's very wise B)

My Presbyopia diagnosis came right about the same time as the Celiac dx. so, just as I have to start reading allthese labels, I need the reading glasses to do it. talk about adding insult to injury!

You don't need reading glasses to read cosmetic/lipstick labeling..........you need a magnifying glass with 100000x. :( . A flea couldn't read those darn things.!!!

this website might be helpful. not all ingredients are 100% up to date, due to the mass amount of cosmetics there are out there. but if you search a product, a 12 font ingredient list will appear for the most part. its helpful to me, and i also like to avoid other carcinogenic ingredients if i can.

The skinstore and sephora also list ingredients online in a bigger font.

Remember that NARS and Shisheido are 100% gluten free lines. Smashbox is also pretty good (only a few products have gluten) as is 100% pure (sold online at Makeup.com, their own website and QVC.) You have to watch out for their mascaras.

I also had to get bifocals a few months into reading labels! Dr. green should list that as a side-effect :lol:

Sephora is a GREAT site for checking make-up ingredients. I use it often, and even though a little pricey, try to give my business to Sephora for doing so.

I can usually read labels...but some are so stinkin small...I now take reading glasses into the grocery store as it makes all the labels easier to read.

Thanks Celiac -- making me wear those pesky glasses prematurely!

I get a RASH from topical wheat products. Since developing gluten intolerance, and having a friend DX with advanced cancer, I've gone almost 100% organic. Finding organic hair products w/no wheat germ oil is very difficult. :(

I use Physicians Formula products for makeup. The foundation and mineral powder are great.

The book is 100% correct.....you have to ingest a product for a reaction to take place. However, for many people, this may not work if you put your hands into your mouth or have other habits which may result in continued ingestion. I only screen products that go onto my lips and it has worked very well for me for 5 years. As I was diagnosed through blood work, it's easy for me to tell if I am ingesting anything, plus I would become very ill again. For those without an offical diagnosis, this is very problematic and it may be best to avoid all products containing gluten.

Let us not forget that many makeups are extremely toxic (regardless of gluten) and the skin being a major organ has our livers flitering out the crap and junk we put on our skin. Personally, I use Larenim Open Original Shared Link Besides being gluten free, it also lacks the other chemicals that are harmful.

A friend of mine shared a website with me that changed my life Open Original Shared Link, ladies if we are trying to take care of our tummies, we should also think about our skin too.

Just trying to help. :D

Thanks for the larenim link!

Yes, that skindeep database is really scary. When I first found it I spent hours logging in all the products I use on a regular basis. Woo! It's a wonder I did not spontaneously combust from all those chemicals!! It definitely changed some of the products I use (I now have a "toxicity limit" that I allow for individual items. The problem is, there are some things you just cannot live without. For example, it is extremely hard to find a shampoo that does not have SLS. Or a hair styling product that isn't somewhere like a 9 out of 10 on their scale.

I thought these lines were safe, too,until I found this lady's website.  She's constantly tracking down the truth about makeup ingredients, and her whole blog is filled with details about makeup lines and products, which ones are truly gluten free and which are not.  I feel so relieved to have found this site:  Open Original Shared Link

I haven't been to the site in while.  It's fun to read.  I do use Gabriel certified gluten-free lipstick.  I am able to purchase it at our local Sprouts (cheaper version of Whole Foods).  I usually wait for the quarterly sales of personal care products (I love a deal).  I love that they have testers so I can visually see the colors.  I am boring, so I just use two colors (same for years).  One for daytime and the other for evening.  

I do want to say that I tried Physician's Formula Organic mascara recently.  I got an allergic reaction (not a gluten thing) from it and good old "chock full of chemicals probably" Maybelline never causes a rash for me.  (I do not worry about mascara being gluten free.)  So, just because something is "Natural or Organic" doesn't mean that it's safe for you.  Everyone is different! 

I wear makeup sparingly (except for lipstick).  I am old (liberating not to have to be at my best all the time) and I have a nice complexion naturally, but for those younger girls who are masters of applying makeup and wear it daily, I would look into more gluten free items.  Some ladies apply it so heavily that chunks of it could be swallowed, I suppose!  

A good watch dog for consumed products is The Gluten Free WatchDog.  They are the "Consumer Reports" for the gluten-free world.  They test products independently.  I subscribe to both the gluten-free Watch Dog and Consumer Reports.  I think it's money well spent.

In Canada almost all Mary Kay products are gluten free and produced on their own lines. The only products that don't are the lengthening mascara and concealer. They are produced in the same building but the gluten ingredients are liquid based (so really unlikely to be airborn). I received this info from my rep (who is my cousin in law). I have not had any issues from these products at all (I couldn't figure out why I was feeling crummy after special occasions when I was using my old makeup). I don't have an official communication from the company. 

 

I would not feel comfortable using a foundation that isn't gluten free - it is to close to the lips!

 

As always, check with your rep!

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
