Help!

I am new here, but I have been diagnosed since may of last year. I have used this site so much to help me figure out how to manage everything. I have been doing *ok* at the diet, but I just realized that i have to replace ALL my beauty products. I am a huge Aveda fan and my skin is so sensitive and it took me years to find face and hair products that work for me but I just learned that they all contain gluten! Luckily, my make up is Bare Essenciauls and bare minerals, but everything else I use has to go! Does anyone know of good quality, natural alternatives I could use to replace my Aveda and Aveeno products?

Thanks

The Giovanni products are nice. Even their golden wheat shampoo is gluten-free, and yes I spoke to the rep about that as it doesn't have a lick of wheat in it. I liked the 50/50 shampoo and Smooth as Silk conditioner. They also have a number of new styling products, I used to use the hair gel, and skin care but I haven't checked the gluten statis of most of those.

Try Dove and Neutrogena. I've contacted the companies before and they have gluten free products. Just search for them on this forum. Neutrogena even emailed me a list of their gluten free products.

After much investigation, here is what I found that works for me.

I have multiple sensitivities, including sodium lauryl sulfate and I have trouble with many "hypoallergenic" products (including weleda and kneip). I finally found some that are mostly natural and scented with botanicals, rather than chemicals.

Gluten-free hair/ face/ bath/body lines I like:

*Caudalie (only 3 products, including the shampoo, have gluten) Lotions, face care, soaps

*100% pure (except the mascara, their tocopherols are from rice bran.) Skin care, soaps and cosmetics.

*Sundari skincare (read the ingredients-- many products are okay) face and body

*Korres natural products (they sent a spreadsheet with safe products) Skin care, hair care (styling products!)

*LUSH cosmetics-- they have a full line of gluten free products and SLS free soaps. Read the ingredients. But the have shampoos (solids!), conditioners, styling products, deoderants, creams, face care, soaps, bath products, lotions, etc.

*Juara skincare (most products are gluten free, but they cannot guarantee no trace amounts from their suppliers)

*Burt's Bees-- on their website, they feature a long list of gluten free products, including deoderants, toothpaste, hair case, face care and body care products and makeup. This company is another winner for me.

Make-up lines:

-Smashbox (everything is gluten-free)

-NARS (everything is gluten-free)

-T. LeClerc makeup (everything is gluten-free)

-Clarins (they sent a long list of unsafe products)

-Lancome-- some lipsticks

-Clinique-- some lipsticks

-Chanel lipstick and lipgloss-- all of it.

Good luck~ for me this was harder than the food ever was because the label laws are different and many companies honestly do not know what is in there.

      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
