Nail Polish Cross Contamination?

Last night I won a gift basket with $600 worth of MAC cosmetics in it. Nice, but... Daughter is allergic to soy and wheat (among other things) and I am allergic to almonds (among other things). So some of the cosmetics will have to be given away because they contain these things and we can't use them.

The nail polish contains soy. I am not allergic to it, so I thought I would keep it and use it on myself. But then I got to thinking... Would I cause cross contamination to my daughter if I did so? It seems like once the polish is dry, it would not be a problem. I have used some polish with soy in it before and don't remember a reaction in her, but it's possible that she had one and I didn't link it to that. I would hate to be accidentally putting soy in her food or giving her a rash by touching her.

I do know that I can not use oat containing products in the bath unless I make them myself from gluten-free oats. Daughter is also allergic to gluten and the slight amount of reside left behind by the oats is enough to give her a skin rash.

I have no idea about CC and nailpolish, but you should try selling the stuff on ebay! Then take your money and spend it on different makeup :)

I would rather give it as gifts. I would feel terrible selling it because it came from my daughter's dance studio and I know the woman who picked it all out. She works for MAC. I don't really wear much makeup anyway. Mostly mineral makeup. There are a couple of lip glosses and a facial wash I can use. And maybe the nail polish. A couple of the makeup items I will use on occasion, but not too often. Most of the rest I can give to my friend for her daughter to use in the upcoming recital. They are the colors that are needed. And she thinks she lost the makeup when they moved. But I am of the opinion that it needed to be replaced anyway. It has got to be 4 years old by now, if not 5! So it will go to good use.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
