Here is another nail polish we can have:

Yes, our polish is gluten/wheat free.  Most of our products are, except our hair care line which is wheat based.  All the ingredients for all of our products are listed on the web site.  If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.  Thanks for your email.

I have a question about nail polish. I know that the brand I use is not gluten-free (OPI) but I'm wondering if that is important. Can you absorb gluten through your nails or is it the skin surrounding them? And I suppose it could chip off and get in your food too. I guess I answered my own question but I jst wanted some confirmation before I discard all my nail polish and buy new stuff. Thanks to the link for honey bee- the acquarella stuff looks great too but I can't believe it's $18 a bottle! Thanks all, Beverly

Also check out No Miss products...their products are gluten free according to the company. They are a cheaper.

Well the problem with nail polish is you prepare food with your hands...if any of it chips in your food or gets on your food while preparing it.

I bet people put their hands to their mouth more then they think to ...and if your nails have wheat starch on them then it's ut oh.

I asked this question somewhere else, but this is probably the correct place to ask it. Sorry.

About the whole nail polish debate---what about if you just put it on the toe nails? I only paint my daughters toe nails so is it still a risk? Also, for other makeup, is it just important to get gluten-free foundations and powders, or also eye liner and eye shadow too? do eye shadows soak into the skin?

Soaking into the skin does not pose a threat. The only way to get a reaction is by it entering your mouth. The only thing that would cause a skin reaction is is you have DH or if there are medical patches which are specifically made to be absorbed.

Makeup for the face in my opinion should be gluten free. Anything you put on your hands, face, or head ...such as lotions, shampoos, cosmetics, etc have a high probability of getting into your mouth somehow.

Toe nails should not be a problem...the only reason fingers are is because you prepare food with your hands and they can chip off into your food and so forth.

Hope this helps :D

Does anyone know if the Mary Kay cleansers are gluten-free?

on MAC makeup--I want to clarify NOT all MAC makeup is gluten free. Their amplified cream lipsticks and their lip conditioner definitely contain wheat. All Benefit lipsticks are gluten free. If anyone buys Sephora brand lipsticks, they responded to me saying they can not say whether their lipsticks have gluten or not. (That response is always helpful!) I also got some of the Bare Escentuals lipsticks and they work great. Thanks!

Oh, I was also going to say, for you internet shoppers, I bought my Bare Escentuals off of Sephora.com (love that site!). They have lots of their products. They are sell Benefit, which I mentioned earlier as having gluten-free lipsticks. Their makeup is good too.

I use cover girl loose powder- i've never had a problem with it, but does anyone know off hand if it is safe?

I was wondering the same thing is cover girl stuff safe? I know the lipsticks may not be but what about other stuff? like foundation, mascara, powder, and concealer?

CoverGirl confirmed with us that Continuous Color lip shades are gluten free. Their lipsticks with fragrance in they will not guarantee because of suppliers, etc.

I have always broke out from CoverGirl foundations..not sure if it is gluten or something else in it. I have not asked them about mascara, concealer, foundations because I have a set brand I use for all of those products but it would be interesting to know if those things are gluten free or not.

Clinique is good about helping you figure out what is gluten-free and what isn't. If I did my homework correctly, their city base spf 15 (or is it 25?) compact foundation is gluten-free (I use I think the shade called "fair" and their touch-base for eyes (I use "canvas"). Clinique has a soft pencil eyeliner that on the other end has some glittery powder in a matching shade -- can't remember the name of the eyeliner, but that also should be gluten-free if I did my homework correctly.

Mac has some gluten-free eyeshadows -- I have one in a skin tone. My mother has found some Almay products that are gluten-free, as well.

Also, if I did my homework right, the above products are supposed to be free of soy and any milk products, as well.

If you use Aveda products, be sure to check the labels. I formerly used TONS of their stuff -- shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer -- and had to give it all up because it all had either soy, gluten, or milk products in it.

Thanks for the Bare Escentuals tip!!! I want to check that out. Also the lipstick reminder, I just realized I've not checked mine!!! And for any newbies, in my case, I've seen a HUGE improvement in my skin since I changed all my personal care products (soap, hair care, skin care, make-up, lotion, you name it) to gluten-soy/dairy free. I have rosacea and it is practually gone and I don't break out much anymore. My girlfriends have complimented me on it; I am able to not wear make-up all the time if I'm out for the first time in my adult life.

I was just in San Francisco where you can go to a Bare Escentuals store so I bought some stuff and I like it a lot. I got the powder foundation and a powder blush. If you go to www.sephora.com you can get a Bare Escentuals starter kit for $60. It comes with two shades of foundation, a mineral veil (which is like a clear powder that seals everyhing), a bronzer, three brushes and a video. It's worth it because alone all that stuff would cost you well over $100. A friend of mine just bought the kit and it's great. I feel like a Bare escentuals marketer but I really like the stuff so far and knowing it's gluten-free gives me a lot of piece of mind.

I also use Burt's Bee's concealer and lip shimmers. They're awesome and they taste like peppermint. Super cheap- like $3 a tube and they last a long time. Good stuff! Beverly

I have been considering switching to Bare Escentuals. However, when I looked them up, I'm a little confused on how to use the products b/c they seem different than "normal" makeup. Any helpful hints? Thanks. :)

I finally went out and bought some L'Oreal make-up. My local celiac association has a product list that says that all L'Oreal products are gluten-free. I had been using cover girl, but I'm not sure if they are safe. I couldn't find Bare Escentuals or some of the other products you guys were talking about, maybe some of them are just sold in the US. Thanks for your help! B)

Bare Essentials can be bought in San Francisco and I think in

Austin but you can buy them over the phone. I know you can get them on QVC check out the website. I just go e-mail other day about June 8th don't know what time though. I love this makeup, it cover up fine lines and looks real natural on skin and doesn't feel cakey like old foundation makeups.

All Loreal makeup gluten free? That must be in Canada only? I called about Loreal makeup I had and they wouldn't guarantee it gluten free and the other thing had gluten so I know thats not true here.

Does anyone know if Bare Escentuals lipstick is gluten free? It has vitamin E in it, which I know can sometimes be derived from a non-gluten-free source, so I just wanted to make sure. I emailed them about it, but they didn't write me back.

Also, I see that some of their products (moisturizers, from the ingredients I saw) did have some form of wheat in them, but it seems that all of their makeup is gluten free, right?

KaitiUSA Enthusiast

Yes...it is just their makeup line that is gluten free...lipsticks and all. Some of the moisturizers do have wheat in them..I have not investigated their other products..I have just checked on their makeup line.

hmmmm, interesting...

That's what the list says that I have, meaning someone has called the company and L'Oreal apparently said all of their stuff was gluten free. Maybe it's just in Canada, since there are some differences between the US and Canada. I'll have to look into it though. However, the ingredients list seems to be safe.

Great, Kaiti, thanks for letting me know--now I can order their lipstick, too, as I love their other products.

Does anyone know if L'Oreal's gluten-free list includes their nail polishes? I read the list of ingredients and it looks OK, but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm.

I'm so sad because I LOVE OPI Nail Envy and it's not gluten-free. I guess I could just replace it with their clear nail polish as their nail polishes are. Thank God- I have like 10!

I'm sorry, I was wrong about the Loreal makeup. I had given my product list to my grandmother and I thought it said all products by Loreal are gluten-free. But I just looked at it this morning and it says all Lipsticks by Loreal are gluten-free. My bad... Althought the foundation I got looks fine, no gluten or hidden gluten oppertunities in it as far as I could tell ;)

My appologies

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      Yes, his A1C was 4.9.  Fasting blood sugar and insulin was tested in the hospital in August and he was told it was excellent.  He has never had a problem with blood sugar.
