Cosmetic Gluten Nightmare!

I keep getting glutened and I believe lip gloss/lipsticks have been the culprit. I also have really bad breakouts if I use anything on my skin that contains gluten.

I'm having a hard time finding makeup that is gluten-free.. I'm currently using covergirl foundation, powder, mascara and lipstain (i'm pretty sure this one is NOT gluten-free!!!)

I also have Quo products (I use their blush and have used their foundation, lip gloss and powder faithfully in the past, but I emailed them and got a response saying they could not guarantee anything they had was gluten-free...sigh)

I have Korres lip butter which I think I am reacting too as well. The only safe thing for my lips I have currently seems to be my Burts Bees lip gloss!

Any info you have on the products listed above or any good products that are not too expensive and easy to find would be muchly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help :).

I wish I could help, but am finding myself in the same boat. Many people on here post about everyday minerals and afterglow cosmetics, but I don't care for loose powders and am over the whole ordering thing. I used to use some Avon, but they are so inconsistent I gave up. Skincare is down to Purpose and Cetaphil cleansers. I am almost out of the moisturizer that I was using, that of course was discontinued and replaced with something that's wheat protein based. Supposedly many products from Nars, Smashbox, Lancome and several other high end lines are safe. Clinique has never responded to any of my requests for information on specific products, as they are more affordable than Lancome or Nars. Many people seem to like Burt's Bees lip shimmers. I honestly have no clue when it comes to drugstore brands, though I did check with Almay a couple of months ago and none of their foundations were safe, all had wheat ingredients in them.

Once again, it's pricey but worth it if you are highly sensitive: Lancome Le Rouge Absolu lipstick line. I've used this for years with no problems- it also LASTS so you don't use as much.

don't know about the others but I also like Ecco Bella available at Whole Foods.

Good luck!

There are currently two brands (owned by the same parent company) that say all of their products are gluten free. NARS and Shisheido. Smashbox is pretty good, with most everything safe but the mascara.

If you do a search here you will find lots of lists of gluten-free makeups. I posted a list of safe things from korres a while back-- the lipbalm is NOT on it.

I know the brands I mentioned are more expensive, but I would rather have fewer safe things than lots of iffy stuff that makes me sick. Quality vs. quantitiy.

If you just want a lipbalm, try carmex.

This is what I use on a regular basis:

Shampoo: California Baby (for sensitive adults too) found at Target in the baby section. (Most Dove and Suave products are gluten-free too :)

Soap: Burt's Bees radiance bar (Target)

Hand Soap: Softsoap original (gluten-free )

Moisturizer: Burt's Bees radiance day creme (very small amount) (Target) or Ageless night creme

Make-up line: Bare minerals (I know its powder and some ppl don't like it) I have oily skin and it works great, I am fair skinned and it has an SPF in the foundation. I like that the whole line is gluten-free! (carried by a local beauty shop)

Lip Gloss: Burts bees chapstik, lip shimmer, and Bare minerals lip gloss, all great but BM is more of a lipstick.

**Cover girl does have some gluten-free products but you have to write them and stay on top of it if they change ingredients. To much hassle for me!***

Acne cleanser and treatments: New Burt's Bees Natural Acne Solutions! I love it!

Sunscreen: Coppertone and Burt's Bees

Body Lotion: you guessed it Burt's Bees honey/milk.

First Aid cream/Anti-itch for my skin rashes: California Baby Calendula cream ROCKS!

I don't like ordering beauty products online so I stick to things I can get my hands on!

Hi Lisa!

Is the lancome lipstick you are using also Soy Free? I would love to try it but I am intolerant to soy.

Thanks a million,

Sylviaann

For foundation I use: Aromaleigh mineral foundation, eye shadows, and blushes (They are not specifically marketed as gluten free like Everday Minerals, but the ingredients are clearly listed on their web site and I have never had a problem.)

I also use Open Original Shared Link liquid foundation and mascara and deodorant.

For soap: I use Neolia Olive Oil soap from Costco. When I buy soap I stick with a cold processed soap that I either make or buy with clear ingredients labeled.

For Face Lotion: I use California Baby Super Sensitive Everyday Lotion

For lip gloss: I use Bare Minerals Buxom

For lip balm: Badger Balm

For body lotion: Desert Essence Organics

Toothpaste: Crest

Face wash: currently Mychelle

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
