All Nars Cosmetic Products Are Gluten Free

I thought I would share this with the forum. I have been gluten free for over a year now and finally am giving up my gluten filled make up. Now, for many Celiacs I know that they do not worry about their makeup being processed in a gluten free facility. However, for me, this was very important. Therefore, I am sucking it up and paying out... because I am worth it! :)

I called NARS Cosmetics yesterday and was assured that all of there products are gluten free minus two makeup products which contained corn gluten (so not an issue for Celiacs). Then, after that I compared their products with Afterglow Cosmetics. They looked like a great company too, and stated 100% gluten free on their website. However, I did not want to deal with purchasing online and not seeing the colors, etc. So, I read more into it and called NARS back today. I was armed this time with questions from my Celiac Support Group to ask them.

The Customer Service at NARS, 1-888-788-6277, was very helpful and extremely knowledgable. She was familiar with product ingredients and their derivitives. I asked her to send me a letter explaining what she expressed over the phone. One, that all NARS products were free of gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats). Two, that all NARS products were produced in a gluten (wheat, barley, rye, oats) free facility. And, three stating where their Vitamin E (Tocopherel Acetate?) was derived from. She let me know that this would be processed through their PR department and sent to me in a couple days. So, as soon as I receive the official letter I will post it here. Yay NARS!!!!

Cool! Good to know. The Lancome makeup line and several of their lipsticks are also Gluten Free. They are also very helpful and will email you a list. Some of their skin care and cleansing items are not gluten-free.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
