I use Bare Minerals and have never had a problem with any of their products. I have really sensitive skin so I really watch what I use.

So you do use the vitamin skin prep? and lipsticks?

I use the lipstick, but not the skin prep. Sorry not to clarify. The only thing I use to clean my skin is Dove soap for sensitive skin and olive oil to mosturize. If I have been breaking out I use tea tree oil.

Hi :)

I used Bare Minerals for several years. I would not use the Skin Rever-Upper. Actually, with Bare Minerals, you really don't need a face primer at all. If you want one, Laura Geller and Smashbox both make nice ones that are gluten-free.

As to the lipsticks, the best thing to do would be to either email them or call and ask about the one you have. A lot of their lip products are gluten-free, but *not all*.

I've always been interested in trying bare minerals. But is it also corn free by chance? How does it do on dry skin? Thanks!

I don't know about the corn, but I have dry skin and it's not flaky or anything like that.

Kathy Ann,

Some of the minerals do contain cornstarch. I know for sure, off the top of my head, that the Mineral Veil does. I have combination skin, also depending on what time of the year it is, and it works fine on the drier areas as well. You don't just brush it on like a regular powder, you buff it into your skin using a circular motion. The more you do this, the nicer and more natural the finish is.

I would personally not use products with oats in it but I do however use alot of the bare essentials. Alot of their products are gluten free..including MOST of their lipsticks. I don't use the product with oats in it though

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
