I've emailed various companies, and I've found that Bare Escentuals mascara is gluten-free, but that is the only definite I can find. I'm in southwestern VA, where I can't find a lot of the more "exotic" brands, so does anyone know any other gluten-free mascaras (or eyeliner, for that matter)? (Clinique, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Neutrogena, or any like that)?

Thanks for any info anyone has!

Hi, try ECCO BELLA - toll free (877)696-2220! I get their lipsticks at Whole Foods in Annapolis, and am crazy about their stuff. You can't imagine how relieved I was to find out that their products are (almost) all gluten free - after I found out I had celiac. They were really helpful when I called , and sent a catalog. They list the mascara a having carnauba wax, palmitic acid ( from palm oil), clay, methylparaben, propylpareben, and flower wax iron oxides. Call them and see if that adds up to being gluten free, I think it does. I love their lipsticks. Also I've been told that Mary Kay has gluten free stuff, but I've never used it. Good luck, Dreamhouses

Okay, please excuse my ignorance :unsure: I can understand about lip glosses, lip stick, etc, but how likely are you to ingest mascara?? I don't wear make-up more than once a year (not really practical in the dog business!) however we do have a wedding coming up this summer that I should probably dress up for! :lol: Being the maid of honour and all... ;)

I could also see if the guy was celiac, being concerned about kissing his girl on the cheek...

Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks! :)

Good point, fotunately I don't seem to be that sensitive, or everytime I feed my dogs, I could get glutinated! :blink: I've worn make-up a couple times since going gluten-free, even my old lipstick now that I think of it... :o and to my recollection, have not reacted.

Thanks for your input! :)

Yesterday I bought some mascara by Loreal "Panoramic Curl", applied it, & by the end of the day my eyes were very irritated. I got all of it off of me, but my eyes were killing me all night long, they felt like sand was in them. Today, my eyes are two big puffy balls. I look terrible. I am glad I tried this stuff out now. I'm trying to find make up to wear to my wedding in June & I can rule this out! Dont know if it contained any gluten, but it's definitely not for the allergic.

Just thought I'd pass that on...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Hi and thanks for this place to ask questions. I have been diagnosed with a gluten and milk allergy but so far I have no Celiac diagnosis and honestly I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I've come here because I'm having problems and you all would be knowledgeable about gluten free diets.   An allergist diagnosed me with a gluten and milk allergy about 15 years ago but she said "if you eat a lot of it, don't worry about it." This haunted me because I did not eat a lot of it but it was in my diet. Going 100% gluten free was daunting so I struggled with lowering my intake and observing results when adding it back. Due to aging, I think, the problem is worse now. I know ingesting gluten almost immediately causes a hemorrhoid flare up. It's very painful and I have severe chronic issues with it and even one surgery which did not solve much and the problem came back with vengeance. I know from my own experiments that I can build a tolerance to gluten in my diet but overall if I want to avoid chronic pain and discomfort I should just eliminate it entirely.   When it comes to my diet, I found not only gluten to be problematic but all grains! This is terrifying to me. Keeping a grain free diet was difficult and left me hungry all the time.   My question for you all is do you have any tips to help me live on a grain free diet sustainably long term? And Do any of you know of or heard of hemorrhoids, constipation and diarrhea being main symptoms to gluten intolerance?

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.
