I need help. What brand name mascaras are gluten free? I look like quite the dork reading labels in the store and comparing them to my many pages of ingredients containing gluten. Also, does anyone know if Herbal Essences "Body Envy" shampoo is gluten free-the ingredients "seem" ok but I would like a 2nd opinion--thanks!

Others may disagree with me, but I wouldn't worry about the mascara. I'm pretty positive I've never ingested mascara.

I use my fingers to brush out any clumps I get which means I often get mascara on my fingers. I always wash my hands afterwards, but you never know. I use gluten-free mascara just to be safe. I use Rimmel brand. Pretty sure Cover Girl is also gluten-free. Not sure on the shampoo.

Interesting... this is a topic I would never have considered. I stopped wearing ALL makeup over 10 years ago, I simply could not take the itching and burning I always experience whenever I try. (And I always bought the more expensive hypoallergenic stuff.) Even Mary Kay which is supposed to be so good for you gave me eczema all over my face. No thanks, that's even less attractive than me without makeup!

Now I am wondering if, once I get this poison out of my system, it is possible that I will stop having so many allergy symptoms to so many random things? No makeup, have to switch shampoo and deodorant brands every few months, not to mention the foods I can't eat without the bloating.

Wow, I'm going to have to keep an eye on this.

Hi

There was a post here in the forum that said "herbal essences" is NOT gluten free . I don't remember where this post was...

I know the Unilever products will disclose their gluten ingredients. I switched to Suave shampoo. Dove is also good about labeling.

I haven't worried about my mascara, but checked all lip balms, lip glosses, face cream, hand cream etc.

I use Estee Lauder MagnaScopic which I confirmed was gluten-free with the company. I do worry about mascara because the eyes are lined with mucous membranes and gluten is absorbed by the mucous membranes anywhere they are on the body. The nose, the eyes, the mouth, in women the 'personal' areas, these are all areas where gluten can be absorbed into the system and go directly to the bloodstream and thus the brain. This may or may not cause GI symptoms in folks but it will keep the autoimmune process active in us.

I use Lorelle waterproof mascara. It has been fine for the past several years. I purchase a shampoo and conditioner from my hair salon that states on the labeling that it is Gluten Free. YEA!!!

RE: Cover Girl mascara, I too read it was all suppose to be gluten-free but after reading the ingredients on many packages, I could not find one that was gluten-free. My avon rep has several gluten-free mascaras (she happened tp stop by my office while I was having my mascara crisis) so I have ordered them and will see how they work. If you google gluten-free Avon, a list of gluten-free products should come up. Thanks for all your replies ladies. L.A.

CLARIFICATION: I'm actually not sure on Cover Girl mascara. I thought that was the brand I've used, but it turns out I've used Maybelline instead.

I use FlowerColor Natural Mascara from Ecco Bella.

You can find it at most health food stores where they carry natural cosmetics or online:

From the website FAQ's:

"There is no gluten or wheat protein in any FlowerColor cosmetic product."

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
