I just found out that in addition to my gluten intolerance I also have a soy intolerance. I'm dairy free too but that doesn't seem to be an issue in these self care products. This has thrown me for a loop. I just finished vetting all my food and personal items to rid the gluten and now I have to go through the entire process again. I'm finding that when something is gluten free it contains soy and vice versa. I had to toss all my lipsticks, glosses, lotions, shampoos because they all had soy.

I thought I'd share what I have found so far in case it may be helpful for someone else. If you have any gluten-free/soy-free products you love please share!

I went to the MAC counter at Macy's and they let me flip though their binder that has all of their products and ingredients! I didn't even know such a binder existed! I was on a mission to find a gluten-free/soy-free lipstick and lipgloss. I was surprised to see how variant the ingredients were from one lipstick to another. Here are two that are gluten-free and soy-free: lipglass (a gloss), and slimshine lipstick. It was quite busy so I didn't check the other products such as eye shadow, mascara blush but will go back at another time to do so. They couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.

Next up was stopping at Whole Foods where I got California Baby bath products. One is a body wash and shampoo combo and the other is a lotion. They're gluten-free/soy-free and free of other allergens too. I haven't tried the body wash/shampoo yet but it smells nice. The lotion is very nice, not greasy.

It's expensive to be gluten-free/SF!! But I just can't go without a bit of lipgloss and my beloved Burt's Bees contain soy.

If you use any type of mineral powders, you can check out www.signatureminerals.com. I emailed them a few weeks back, and all of their mineral products are gluten free (that does not go for their skin care and body care, as it is all natural and they do use oats and wheat for some.) Their ingredients are listed on their site, and I can vouch for the minerals: they are absolutely amazing.

Thanks ciavyn, I'll check that out.

I prematurely tossed some of my lotions and glosses but fortunately they can be retrieved from my bin (nothing but papers in there!).

My Avon body wash, lotions and glazewear lipglosses are gluten and soy free! I'm so glad Avon puts the ingredients on their website in nice big print. I got so frustrated reading the ingredients on the bottles in tiny tiny print I just tossed them to be sure.

I'm also glad soy has to be declared as an ingredient. Even if the ingredient is something science-y and impossible to decipher it would say soy in parentheses at the end like so, HBFADFHJVK (soy). I wish gluten had to be declared the same way. Would make our lives easier.

Feeling less overwhelmed about finding gluten-free and soy-free products.

I'm beginning to feel more at ease with having to deal with this soy intolerance on top of my gluten and dairy issues.

Cheers

:)

This just made me pull out all of my products and take a look at them. Fortunately I DON'T have the soy issue because I love Burt's Bees lip glosses and lotions. My shampoo has soy, but my conditionaer does not. I use "Organix" Shea Butter conditioner. The longer you leave it in, the softer it makes your hair. (I find it at my local drug store) I also put a small dab of "Organics" Red Raspberry Conditioner (found at Whole Foods) on the ends of my hair and don't rinse it out. I don't see soy listed in the ingredients but emulsifying wax is vegetable derived, so it'd have to be checked out. Since using the combination of those two conditioners my hair is softer than it's been in a long time, and I color frequently.

I feel for you! It IS expensive to live this way.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
