I read alot of info on the bare minerals make-up line and how they are gluten-free so I decided to try it and I do love it, however the 1st step which is the skin rever upper vitamin stuff has oats in is so I havent used it. So my question is has any one out there tryed it and is it okay to them? Also wanted to make sure that the lipsticks are also gluten-free? any help would be great!

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

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.
