I've been trying to switch over all my personal care products and based on another post tried some Burt's Bees products. However there were alot of things in the store that weren't on the gluten free list so I wrote and got an updated list. Here it is:

Appropriate List For Gluten Restricted Patients

Products NOT containing wheat, Oat, Rye & Barley derived ingredients

Updated: Jan 8, 2008

BABY BEE DUSTING POWDER

BABY BEE CR

I'm going to be the first person to reply since I just invested some $s and my experience may help someone else.

I'll start with the Lip Shimmers. I love these! So far I have bought 6 colors. Not because I really needed six colors but because the colors on the lids are not at all like that in the tube (but what lipstick ever is?). Hint: right now Walgreens has them on sale at two for $6. For my first tube I bought it at Whole foods for $5. The second tube at another store for $4.50 so when I saw the Walgreen's sale I got four more tubes.

Here are my translations of the colors:

Raisin - A very nice brighter red. Not super bright but the one you would likely pick to wear with a bright red top.

Fig - A darker red. A very nice color red with maybe just a shade of brown in it. For me this was the color I would always pick for my main color.

Papaya - A shiny metallic bronze. Very fun color.

Rhubarb - A reddish pink but for me too pink. But if you like a pink this would be a good one to try.

Nutmeg - I would have to say this was a coral color.

Cocoa - This one really does look like the color on the lid but it was the only one that looked like the color on the lid. It also has a metallic shimmer over that color. I don't really know how to describe it. Sort of a purplish brown with an underlay of platinum.

I bought the Radiance Healthy Glow Kit. It has 7 trial size products from the Radiance grouping. Everything in this kit is on the list except the Night Creme. I keep looking at the list to see if I missed it but so far I can't find it.

I also bought the Essential Body Kit. This has 8 trial size items. Out of this kit it appears the Peppermint Foot Lotion isn't on the list. I can use 7 items from this kit so it isn't a bad value.

I wrote Burt's Bees to see if the Radiance Night Creme was accidentally omitted from the list since it is the only Radiance product in the kit that wasn't gluten free and I couldn't find a suspicious ingredient. The Peppermint Foot Lotion did contain wheat germ oil.

Last night I tried two face products:

Evening Primrose Overnight Creme. This didn't turn my face red. Yeah! I haven't been able to apply any lotion to my face that did not turn it red in years. I have rosacia and when I get glutened the skin on my face flakes off in large flakes. This lotion goes on very oily (so probably not good for oily skin) and frankly doesn't smell very good. Actually it is disgusting. But my face was in good shape this morning. I bought the Burt's Bees Radiance kit listed above to try and see if I can get good results without the smell. No trial size of the Primrose Overnight Creme though so I had to buy a full size.

Royal Jelly Eye Creme with Aloe Vera. No offensive smell. I put it around my eyes and it went on oily. No negative reaction over night.

If you use any Burt's Bees products and have any you think the world of let me know since I may want to try it.

Cheers!

the lip balm is really great, one of the best i've ever used. the peppermint oil makes it feel really fresh and tingly and it keeps the lips soft for hours :) i'm a lip balm junky and always have some in my pocket. also i tried the herbal blemish stick because my face breaks out from shaving.... it seems to be working pretty well.

Thank you so much for this list. I have found after being gluten-free for almost 2 months, I find I am more sensitive to products on my skin. (I'm sure I always was!)

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
