I was wondering if any one knew how important it is to use gluten free make up, lotion, and tooth paste? Maybe that culd be the reason for all the nausea but I dont think so. And if it is important can any one tell me what make up and lotions are gluten free. I currently use mostly bobbi brown. Thanks for your replys

This is a big subject around here, and I am not knowledable enough to address it. However, I am sensitive to items touching my skin. I changed shampoo's, no sodium laurel sulfate, Trader Joe's is cheap and good. I use gluten-free make-up Everyday Minerals, see thread on this site, as well as Great Lash Mascara and Maybelline eye liner.

What I would do is call Bobbi Brown and see if her make-up line is gluten-free. It took me a while after going gluten-free to realize I had a sensitivity to some products.

From my experience, gluten free products are a must. When I first got my diagnosis, I went through a stage that was a combination of denial and overwhelmed over the importance of trace gluten. For a month, I continued to use my tried and true expensive facial lotion. I continued to feel bad until I stopped using it. Then I relapsed when I pulled out eyeshadow and blush with oat in them for a special occassion.

My suggestion is to find Dove, Suave or other Unilever brand products without WRBO for temporary use while you research other presumably more expensive products you want to switch to. Unilever will list WRBO clearly on the back in the ingredients, so they are a "safe" brand. The same is true for Cover Girl.

Products I use:

Burts Bees-Not all are safe, but they have a gluten free list

Everydayminerals.com-gluten-free mineral makeup for great prices. Fun Fun fun

Dove is my go to brand for products when I decide to add back a product.

Crest-most or all of their toothpaste is gluten free. Definately the more basic ones. I use Crest-multicare whitening and it is gluten-free.

Crest-dental floss-Glide plain is gluten-free

Remember to make sure everything is gluten-free when you go to the dentist. Many of us get sick after visiting the dentist.

If you use more upscale brands, you will want to check out:

Chanel lipsticks and lip glosses

All Nars. Everything, including nail polish

Most Smashbox (not mascara)

Lots of Guerlain products (see posted list here-- search) including mascara

T. Leclerc products

100% pure cosmetics (not mascara)

Some Clinique and Lancome (search here)

For toiletries:

Caudalie (three things are not okay-- shampoo and two creams)

Korres (manty things safe)

Lush (many things are okay-- read ingredients)

Phyto products (many are okay-- read)

Rene Furterer (some products-- read)

Sundari- read.

ECO Nvey (no gluten ingredients)

For me it is very important that everything be gluten-free, but not everybody has DH and not everybody is so sensitive.

Good luck.

Another culprit is Vitamin E, or tocopherol acetate. It can be made from wheat or soy, so you should know the source. Cetaphil only guarantees that its gentle face wash is gluten-free. All vaseline products except the lotion in the yellow bottles(oats) are gluten-free and do not contain vitamin E. The new line of Almay products seem to be OK, the ingredients do not contain WRBO or tocopherols.

I second on the Everyday Minerals, they'll send you free samples! (you pay shipping, about $4)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
