I use Maybelline Great Lash in the pink and green tube. Everyday Minerals for foundation and blush usually (for sure gluten-free) although I got some of the new Cover Girl and Olay 'simply Ageless' to try and have used it a few times with no issues. The ingredients look safe but I have not called on it. For eye shadow I use Almay but I have not called on that either. It doesn't seem to have given me any issues. I should note that I rarely wear makeup so some who are supersensitive and daily wearers may have issues that I have not.

I use Hard Candy tinted moisturizer with no problem (although I have never checked). I know Maybelline Pulse Perfection mascara is gluten-free and I really like that. For eyeshadow, I use Ulta brand or Sally Girl - and I have never had a problem.

Just want to say that I've purchased Bare Minerals and love it. However, there is a vitamin boost liquid that came with the kit that may have caused an allergy reaction -- not sure, I will have to wait and try it again on a morning when I can be at home and easily wash my face. Not a problem, it was free with the kit. If I use it, fine; if not, fine.

The mineral powders are wonderful, and I love applying the makeup -- surprisingly creamy because not really a "powder," and very kind to aging skin - helps me look younger.

I'm new to this world, and am researching some of my common, every day products to see if they contain gluten in any form. The foundation, veil and eye shadows that I'm partial to are Signature Minerals, and they are COMPLETELY organic, and their ingredient list is three to four items. That's not to say CCing can't occur, and I've emailed them to find out.

I just started researching my cosmetics to see what I need to change, but I know for a fact my foundation is gluten-free. It's Jane Iredale Amazing Base mineral foundation. The little container lasts me about 6 months or more... and I do my makeup everyday, and probably twice a day two times each week. (I work at a pet store a feel gross when I get home sometimes so I wash up and start over.)

It might seem a little pricey when you look at it, but it is definatly worth it, and it lasts for a long time... I thought back to when I'd go buy a new bottle of foundation every 3-4 weeks for $8- $12 a bottle, and I'm definatly saving. I love it and don't need to spend money on switching every few weeks. I usually buy it on eBay for around $30-- but if you haven't boughten it before I would go into a salon so they can match your color perfect. It feels like you're not wearing anything either! I can still see my freckles through it, but not my uneven complection- perfect amoung of coverage. If you go to the website, you can find locations near you. www.janeiredale.com

I'm e-mailing a bunch of companies the weekend though to find out about gluten free cosmetics. I have a thread started under the Gluten free foods, products, and shopping section with their responces. Jane Iredale is one. I love the foundation so much, I have to know what other products I can use from the line. But I do know that the foundation is gluten-free.

As an update: I checked on the liquid. The name of it is Bare Vitamins Skin Rev-er Upper. It contains Avena Sativa made from oats, so those of you who have an alergy to wheat may get a reaction, as I did, if the oats contain wheat.

The longer I get used to all this, the more I realize I probably have an allergy to wheat as well as gluten-intolorance. When I used the liquid, I had a full-blown nasal, eye itch allergy reaction. What's weird is that I also had an attack of diarrhea and loss of bowl control. It was small and my symptoms faded after a couple hours . . . but I find it confusing since I didn't think anything applied to the skin would enter my GI system.

Wait . . . on second thought, I might have put my fingers in my mouth while flossing my teeth, or I might have put some on my lips without thinking about it, and then ingested it. THAT would make sense.

Good grief. Sometimes I feel like Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out all this stuff! It is just so easy to make a simple mistake and not even realize what it was.

Anyway, just wanted to post the warning: Mineral powder fine / Skin Rev-er Upper not so fine, at least not for me.

Right now I'm using Afterglow mineral powder and I really like it. I was going to order their mascara but haven't gotten around to doing so as I don't use it that much. My favorites for eye shadows are Chanel,Dior,Mac and Nars.

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?
