Mary Kay?

Does anyone know if the Creamy Cleanser, the Balancing moisturizer, and the eye makeup remover have gluten?.

I called Mary Kay and they sent me an ingredient list for these items ( except the eye makeup remover ), but I am unsure of the ingredients.

The only product I used that had an obvious gluten containing ingredient was the advanced moisture renewal treatment cream ( my all time favorite night time cream - boo hoo).

I researched it when I was a consultant, and there were only 5 things with gluten. One was the Advanced Moisture Renewal Treatment Cream, one was the OLD mascara (starts with an "E", endless performance?), the nail polish, the eye primer, and the concealer. As far as I know, your other items do not contain gluten. I use the oil free eyemakeup remover now, and have no problems with it. Hope that helps! :)

Mary Kay uses a lot of herbs in their makeup. While these herbs are excellent for most people, they make me break out in horrible hives and swell unbelievably.

What kinds of reactions are you having? I am doubting it is gluten related based on the big difference between those two products. I have very sensitive skin, perhaps you do too?

Extreme redness /burning/and goop in the corners of my eye ( like an allergic reaction). This is what happens to my skin when I put gluten on it, but it could be something else as I am extremely sensitive to all chemicals.

Really? I was unaware of any herbs in their products.

Yeah, that is possible. I have a problem with drying when using most lotions. It is odd, but now I use jojoba oil for a moisturizer. That is the only thing that does not irritate my skin somehow. I hope you find a product that works for you!

Sephora will give you samples of EVERYTHING in their stores, so you can take it home and try it and see if you have a reaction.

Also, Whole Foods has a GREAT return policy. I have tried stuff from there and had to take it back. I didn't have the box or anything, and they gave me store credit.

Just some ideas for trying new things.

Thanks for the ideas!! I have very dry skin and was really upset when I couldn't use my Mary Kay, but I 've been using burts bees eye cream all over my face (it only takes a little bit and it absorbs really well) and it is wonderful! I've been getting comments on my skin from total strangers. I'll try the jojoba oil also - where do you get that? I've been looking for a convenient oil for my massage therapist to use on me as the stuff she is using now irritates my skin. I like coconut oil, but it solidifies at 74 degrees ( a pain). Can I get the jojoba oil in a pump bottle?

I got it at my local Health Food Store. I am sure you could find it at a Health Food store, or Whold Foods type of store. You might be able to pour it into a pump bottle, but I haven't seen one come in a pump bottle. Ithink that might be really messy, as the oil is really thin and slippery. But it would seem perfect for massage! :)

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By trents · Posted

      Keep in mind that a celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps: 1. blood antibody testing and 2. if there are positive antibody test scores, an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining. You have only mentioned the first in your strategizing.

      There are about 8 grams of protein in an egg and also in a cup of milk. About 90 calories in an egg and around 100 to 120 calories in a cup of milk, depending on the fat content. To increase your calorie intake with food items that are also nutritionally dense, concentrate on seeds and nuts. They are high in fat content, so lots of calories, but also rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a moderately good source of protein as well. Black molasses is a good source of calories but not such a good source of vitamins and minerals so don't go overboard on it. It is somewhat better than table sugar from a nutritional standpoint, however. Spirilunia and moringa powder I am not familiar with but I doubt there is much calorie value there and it is refined so I doubt that they would be a great source of vitamins.

      I’m thinking if the $159 package comes back negative, I’ll wait a month — continue eating gluten 😖— and then purchase the $340 complete and comprehensive package.    Thanks again to everyone who has responded. I feel more hopeful than I have in a long time.

      I think keeping the information to yourself is a good idea. In fact, many doctors won’t give an official diagnosis without a biopsy so if someone asks if you have celiac disease and all you have are blood test results a “no” answer wouldn’t be totally wrong🙂. Until I had a biopsy my medical chart just said positive celiac antibodies, not celiac disease. If the WalkinLab $159 panel is negative you could still have celiac disease however.  It is a good start, testing for TTG IgA antibodies which most people with celiac disease have.  However, some people have IgG antibodies instead, and some only have antibodies against DGP (deamidated gliadin peptide). WalkinLab can also do those tests but the comprehensive panel is more expensive. WalkinLab celiac disease profile

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      My vitamin D is a bit low, but now too low, and I have just started taking 5000 IU again. In the past I have done 50.000 IUs at times to get the levels up higher, and might try that again, after I speak to my doc this week.
