Hi so i am really new to this gluten free, dairy free, egg free diet that i have just been diagnosed with (oh yeah i also have leaky gut syndrome). I feel so overwhelmed and i feel so trapped and it sucks!.. I have been researching a lot about my diet and made huge changes and now i am searching to see what kind of make up is safe to use and to see if anyone knows about the make up line called "prescriptives" its all mineral base, but i am still not sure if its safe to use. The ingredients don't say that they contain gluten, so i think its safe to use. In addition, i was wondering if anyone uses the deodorant Secret and if its okay to use? I don't know if i have to go this far, because my doctor only told me to go on a gluten free diet, but i rather be safe than sorry.

Unless you have a topical allergy to an ingredient in these products, or intend on eating them :P , you do not have to screen topical products for gluten. Your doctor is correct, it's what goes into your mouth that is the issue. The only exceptions would be for lipstick/lip balm and eye drops because eye drops will trickle down the back of your throat after they go into your eyes and could potentially end up in your gut.

My daughter uses Secret, no problem. We keep her personal products gluten-free. The only deoderant I've found gluten in is Ban. There's barley in it, of all things. Whooda thunk.

Greattt!! im so excited! ya i think i do need to check out the lipsticks i am using. But whoa what a relief. I have just read other peoples comments on this website and a lot of them are going gluten free with skin products, make up etc.. So i got kind of worried. :unsure:

That's not always true. Eye makeup can get into your eyes and cause reactions (confirmed by an eye specialist). I use zuzu luxe brand make up and have had no more problems!

.......IF, you have a topical allergy to gluten, as Gemini has stated previously. Celiac, specifically, reacts to the autoimmune reaction in the small intestines, generally ingested through the mouth. Gluten can not penetrate the skin into the digestive system.

So, if you're not crying your makeup into your mouth or ingesting your mascara.......

ohhh ok, thanks for the info, because i wore some make up yesterday and i have already checked to see if they are gluten free and they said yes but cross contamination can be possible. well i got really sick yesterday and it was after i put my make up on, so i dont know if it was just a bad day or the make up. i guess not the make up, i am going to check my mac lipsticks though.

Celiac is not just a gut disease it is an autoimmune disease. Gluten can cross the mucosal tissues and cause an antibody reaction as your doctor stated. It is a matter of personal choice whether to eliminate it from toiletries. I personally don't use gluten containing cosmetics, shampoos or conditioners. I feel why risk it when safe gluten free alternatives are available.

      My only proof

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
