It is best to contact the companies to make sure they do not use any gluten in their products because many companies do.

My skin was getting very thin, and would tear really easily. I had to change make-up and lotions!! It took me awhile to find some great lotions, and skin care products that were safe, gluten free, and NO mineral oils. I love, love, love the ar-bonne products. Safe and benificial. I have a list of their products that are gluten free downloaded in my computer, if you want I can send them to you.

Thanks I appreciate the offer, but I think that brand is a litttle more than my budget allows. I sent an email to maybelline and cover girl and am waiting to hear back.

I don't pay full price...I get at least 35% off, and sometimes even pay 50% with specials and stuff. I figure I have to buy vitamins and skin care and so forth...I may as well get a discount on all of it, and I know that it is pure and safe. If you knew how sick I was ... you would be amazed at how well my skin is looking now. I have acess to all the ingredients that is amazing, most companies hide that stuff. If your interested I can get you the discount too, anything for a fellow celiac!!! Just email me.

Good-luck, I hope that you get what you need.

I agree with you on the Lame Advertisement prices. Crazy!! I too sent an email to maybelline and they sent me a list of ingredients to look for in all cosmetics (not just maybelline) that could contain a harmful gluten-containing grain or even oats. If you do not get this list, let me know and I will send it to you.

Dear Samanthasmomma,

Maybelline and CoverGirl clearly list gluten in their cosmetics. I also know Revlon LipGlides are safe. I called on them myself. Sparkling Sangria is my favorite! Wet'n Wild has primarily all gluten-free cosmetics. Only one of their mascaras is not safe.

Sincerely,

I have the clan thompson drug smart list and it says physicians formula is not gluten-free. I used it when I was first dx for a while and felt much better when I threw it away and replaced it with another brand. This is what the clan thompson said, " This company does not reccomend any of their products for celiacs as 'almost all of them contain gluten'".

Dear Samanthasmomma,

You are very welcome! :) I do not wear make-up all of the time, but definitely need it when I go to the doctor or visit a family member. I want to look my best! I got that same list you have of ingredients to be careful of from Maybelline. They have great stuff! Right now, CoverGirl foundation, concealer, and powder is on sale at CVS! Another money saving tip is do not buy your make-up at the grocery or department store. Buy it at CVS or somewhere like it. They actually have prices two or three dollars lower per make-up item at times! Wet'n Wild has some great stuff. The prices are reasonable, too.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Hmmm... I've been using the mineral wear powder for a few months now. I don't have the ingredient list anymore but I read everything even before I started worrying about gluten and I thought it was just a bunch of minerals. I didn't have any issues with it even once I started gluten-free. I use it every day. I've got some weird bumps on my skin now, but I've been eating gluten for the past week and a half for the biopsy, and these always occur when I'm ingesting it. I had clear skin when I was NOT ingesting gluten, but using the mineral powder. Topical gluten makes me itch like whoa, but I don't seem itchy with the powder.

I SHOULD be a bit more dilligent about what I stick on my face. I've decided once I land a summer job, the fist thing I'm buying (besides I new phone, mine's dying! arrrg) is that Bare Escentuals stuff. Pretty pricey... the starter kit costs $60. However, the brushes included alone would cost that much. The jars of powder you get with the kit are kind of small compared to the full sized versions, but most people I know who bought it hardly used a fraction of it after several months of daily use. A little bit goes a long, long way. I tried some on at Sephora and wow, silkiest stuff EVER. Even if it is kind of pricey, it's a good product and lasts forever. Though I probably wouldn't consider it unless I used powder every day already. Then again, I never used foundation at all except for dance performances until I started using mineral powder. It's great stuff.

Oh, I just found an ingredient list for some of the Mineral Wear products: Open Original Shared Link At the bottom there's an ingredient list that pops up in a new window.

I don't see anything gluten-related, then again I'm fairly new to this all.

I use Bare Minerals makeup - I like it alot, although it is pretty expensive. Alot cheaper than Nars though! Last time I checked all of their makeup was gluten free.

I use MAC cosmetics. The company has told me that almost all of their products are gluten free. However, they recommend that I contact them about each individual product that I plan to use so they can determine for sure. I've used several of their products now and have not had any problem with any of them.

Bare Escentuals is all gluten free. However, their make-up uses corn starch and due to my corn allergy their products seem to irritate my skin.

Bare Minerals (the products that are just minerals) are gluten-free. Bare Escentuals does have some products that contain gluten. Some of their lip products and mascaras, and their Skin Revver-Upper for example. You would need to call and check on which, but don't assume that the whole line is gluten-free. :)

Another ingredient (that isn't on the label) in many mineral makeups that can cause skin irritation is bismuth. The only mineral I know of in the BE line that contains cornstarch is the mineral veil, so if the foundations cause irritation (as they do with me), bismuth may be the cause. ;)

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this...

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.
