Need Help With Gluten-Free Make-Up

Due to a very highly positive blood test in March & a positive biopsy last week, I (believe) I have done a pretty good job at getting rid of everything with gluten and replacing everything including food, dishes, body products. However, I need some help with make-up suggestions please! I see a lot of people on here talking about buying make-up online that is very expensive... Does anyone have a list of safe gluten-free mainstream make-up that I could buy in a store like WalMart, CVS, Target, etc???!!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks so much!!

Kim

I believe most Neutrogena make-up items are gluten free.

Wet & Wild nail polish sent me a note that the nail polish is gluten-free. Maybe not a big deal for toes, but definately for fingers. Cerave is a thick lotions thats really good for very dry skin & elbows, feet, etc. They told me they are gluten-free.

While not available at drug stores, Everyday Minerals are pretty reasonable and gluten-free. I just received my large mineral foundation--it was $9 and I was able to also get 3 decent sized samples of blush. (I had my choice of samples.)

Kim,

I just noticed that they have taken any mention of gluten off of their website--it used to state that their products were in fact gluten-free. I have an email out to see what is what--I suspect that nothing has changed and they are hesitant to claim gluten-free status because there is currently no legal definition of "gluten-free".

I'll keep you posted. B)

I received this email this morning--

Hello Patti,

Thank you for contacting us. The Tocopherol (Vitamin E) used in our Lip Balms and Glosses is derived from Soy. Other products that do contain the Tocopherol are the Everynight Minerals line, the Pressed Powders, and the Thymeless Concealer line.

All of our products are vegan based, free of carmine, nuts, lake dyes, fragrance, bismuth oxychloride and parabens. Our powders consist of: mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and iron oxides. Our finishing powders vary and some consist of rice powder, kaolin powder and zea mays (corn powder). All of these products should work well for you. But you may also want to check a gluten list of ingredients to avoid, since everyone's skin is different. And the Product Page does have a tab with the list of ingredients which you can use for reference for when you are making a purchase. : )

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Cristy,

Everyday Minerals

Hmmm... So I'm new at this, this seems to mean they ARE gluten-free, but she won't actually say it?

I feel comfortable saying yes on this because I've been using this brand for a while now and really, I can't see where anything has changed. I've noticed in the past few months, especially, companies who used to declare products gluten-free have changed their language.

I use their foundation, blush, eye shadows, and lip products and will continue to do so unless of course they begin adding gluten--which I doubt.

Just another good reason in general to re-check ingredients/manufacturing practices from time to time since they can change. ;)

I know I have to make for sure any lotions, shampoo, and handwash are gluten-free because I still have the very bad habit of biting my nails....So my hands are always in my mouth :P

Gluten cannot be abosrbed through the skin. It has to be ingested and enter your stomach and intestine for it to do any damage. Therefore the only costmetics you need to perhaps avoid is some lipsticks that contain wheat. Also shampoo with wheat that you may swallow.

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ?  I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet.  Rebound muscle pain so intense  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…
