Hi guys,

Is Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein safe for us or not? Confused about this one!

Also, I live in South Africa, and am having a real problem sourcing gluten-free make-up. Most of our products here are imported so there is no way for me to check in this country.

I feel like I need to change my lipstick urgently - noticed I lick it a lot!! Also lip ice or lip balm.

Does anyone know if any of the Almay, Revlon, Maybelline or Boots No.7 products are gluten-free and lipstick in particular.

And toothpase? I read somewhere that all Colgate toothpase is gluten-free. Is this correct?

Sorry for all the questions but I glutened myself two nights ago with pork sausages so I'm on a mission to be really vigilant from now on!!

Thanks.

Yvonne

Textured vegetable protein isn't gluten-free for us...

Colgate is close to or completely gluten-free (here in the US, though). Crest is also mostly gluten-free. Beware of Sensodyne and with most of these brands, watch out because the extra whitening and sensitive toothpastes, I have found, are often the ones with gluten. You can't guarantee, though, that Colgate in South Africa or any other country would be the same as in America. Companies change their ingredients from country to country.

Yvonne-

I had to get rid of a ton of my lipsticks, so I understand the frustration. Unfortunately I do not have a detailed list for the each of the brands you mentioned, but someone else might. In the meantime, I e-mailed each of them to get a list. I'll let you know when I hear back. I am sure that some of the their types of lipsticks will NOT be gluten free, its just a matter of if they have a few types that are. Wheat germ oil, wheat are in a lot of lipsticks, and other times we just can't verify if they are gluten-free. Can you receive makeup from Sephora.com in Africa? I would think they have international shipping. They sell a brand Bare Escentuals whose lipstick is ALL gluten-free. I'll let you know if I find something more specific ! :D

Oh--It will probably take a day or 2 to hear back from the companies.

Also, ck out this post for gluten-free lists on chapstick. bonnie bell, blistex in case you use those:

HVP can contain gluten...it depends where it was derived from. If you see Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein it would be unsafe but if you see Hydrolyzed Soy Protein it would be safe. It's one of those tricky ingredients where you have to know what it was made from to determine if it is gluten free.(unless however it is on a label such as Kraft...then they would clearly put beside it if it contains any wheat,rye,barley,oats)

Colgate toothpaste for the most part is gluten free

The lipsticks that I have checked with those companies you mentioned have not been gluten free so I threw them all away and I stick with the Bare Escentuals line because the whole line is gluten free...not sure if you can get that there or order it online from there.

CoverGirls continuous color lipstick shades are gluten free

Maybelline has a few gluten free products but I have not checked on lipsticks for that brand

Thanks a lot everyone for the replies.

Kaiti, I haven't seen CoverGirl anywhere here. I think Maybelline is my best bet. I will try and find a way to contact them for info. We also have Este Lauder but it's a bit pricey.

Jenvan thanks a lot for finding out from the companies, really appreciate it.

In the meantime I'll check out that link on chapstick. I can get blistex here.

We are so far behind in this country in a lot of ways.

Thanks for a great site and the advice.

I think someone posted this response once before...

Maybelline was a slacker..didn't send me ingredients of lipsticks, but here is a list of their ingredients that do contain gluten. You can get the ingredients for your specific lipstick and compare them to this list. I would e-mail and ask for a list of ingredients for the specific type of lipstick you use:

June 9, 2005

Thank you for your interest in Maybelline New York lip products.

The following list of ingredients that are used in our products, are those that contain wheat and other grains. This list may also be used by the celiac patient to identify gluten-containing ingredients. This list gives the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour

Cyclodextrin

Dextrin

Dextrin Palmitate

Hydrolyzed Oat Flour

Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein

Hydrolyzed Wheat Flour

Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer

Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch

Maltodextrin

Secale Cereale (Rye) Seed Flour

Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract

Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil

Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Gluten

Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Starch

Wheat Amino Acids

Wheat Germ Glycerides

Wheat Germamidopropalkonium Chloride

Wheat Protein

Wheatgermamidopropyl Ethyldimonium Ethosulfate

Yeast Extract

All the ingredients we use in a product are listed on the package or on the label of the product itself. Comparing this list with the ingredients listed on our products will help you to identify the ingredients you would like to avoid.

Neutrogena has a list of gluten free products and quite a few products that are gluten free. I posted on it in the product section a while ago...if you can't find it then you can email me and I'll send it to you.

Not sure if Dove has SPF in their new moisturizers but they will not hide anything on labels so you check for wheat,rye,barley,oats and if it does not have that then they are gluten free

I received a list of gluten-free products from Nutrogena and Aveda. There are some lipsticks on the Nutrogena list which are gluten-free. Aveda's lipsticks contain gluten, but they have some great products that do not. :lol:

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
