Its time to shop for new make up, everything I have is old and im not sure if its gluten free. Anybody know of a brand that is gluten free or will list the wheat? If the company uses wheat is that how they usually list it in make up? Or do they call it by other names? Thanks a bunch.

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. ;)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      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.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
