Questions About Make-up

Does anyone know of a gluten free make-up that you can buy locally? I can't seem to find any unless I want to order over the web.

Also - I was told that there are two sisters in Austin that make gluten free bread. Do any of you know who they are and how to get in touch with them?

I can't seem to find any gluten free hamburger buns, hot dog buns, etc. I looked at whole foods but no go.

My family loves to cook out so I need to find a good substitute. It just seems like it will be to hard to have to order everything on line. Plus I don't like to do that for security reasons. I am more of a spontanious person and having to do that much planning ahead will be hard for me.

Hi Vickie,

I might be able to help with the makeup question.

Open Original Shared Link is Austin based (or close, anyway). But I do not believe they have an actual store that you can walk into. However, you don't have to purchase by credit card, you can contact them for details on paying by check. Or you might even explain your situation to them, and it's possible you might be able to visit them in person (no guarantees on that, but it couldn't hurt to try right?).

Also, I think Whole Foods and even Sprouts (is there one of those in Austin?) may carry some lines of mineral makeup.

I'll see if I can do some more digging for you and see what I can find.

As for the hamburger and hot dog buns, I would think you might have some luck at a smaller health food store. Do you know of any of those? Also, when you looked at Whole Foods, did you check the frozen aisles, or just in the bread aisles?

If you just looked in the bread aisles then check the frozen section. I'm just sure WF should have something.

If I find additional info for you, I'll either post here or send you a PM.

Somewhere floating around here there is a list of Neutrogena products that are gluten free. They will email you a list if you check with the company though...very good about it. They have a newer mineral makeup that I just bought that is on the list. I can't remember the name right off though.

I'm liking it OK...I'm used to having a thin layer of foundation and concealer under my eyes and I didn't have my list with me when I purchased the powder, blush and eye makeup. I didn't want to spend the dough and get the wrong thing. The applicator is the only thing that is weird...comes out through the middle of the brush so you have to apply it carefully or you will have a streak. I'm thinking about seeing if I can transfer the powder into something else and use my own brush. Color wise though...I like being able to look at what I get before I get it. Buying it online was not something that appealed to me.

Clinique's Lip Surge LipStick line is gluten free. I have noticed that they have gotten fewer and fewer in their display/sample cases. Most of their consultants don't seen to know much about gluten in their products, I have found.

Just wanted to let you know that I emailed Neutrogena last week and they emailed back that due to the manufacturing and handling process they cannot guarantee that any of their products are gluten free.

Hello, My daughter has recently had positive blood tests for coeliacs. But we havent started the gluten-free diet yet as we have to wait to have the gastroscopy. Do we need to look into gluten free makeup as well? Does it get absorbed through the skin? I wouldn't have thought it would have mattered? Please advise?

Thanks

I am also new to all this, having just been diagnosed last week. I was wondering the same thing about makeup and shampoo as I see on the forums a lot of people talking about using special products. Is it because it is absorbed or do some celiac's have a skin reaction? Thanks!

I think gluten does get absorbed through the skin, even if doctors say otherwise. Last time I tried to use Bath and Body Works lotion, which contains oats, I first got a skin rash, then I had gastro symptoms after a week of using it. My dd, she reacts with a typical gluten reaction (upset stomach, irritable, etc) with shampoo that has gluten in it. It's inevitable that some shampoo gets in the mouth, so I prefer it to be gluten free. I use Suave, they will list any gluten in their products. For makeup, I use Bare Minerals, it is gluten free and great for ultra sensitive skin like mine. Every other mineral product I have tried makes me break out like crazy, so I have to spend a few dollars, darn it, lol. Hope that helps some, I'm sure others will have suggestions for you!

Whether or not gluten can be absorbed through the skin is a topic of some debate, but I have decided to use only gluten-free makeup quite apart from that question. I just know that I'm not a person who never touches my face. I don't want to have to worry about getting gluten on my hands every time I scratch an itch or brush a stray hair out of my face.

      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.

      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.
