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.

      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. I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should...

      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...

      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?
