Problems With Makeup For Eyes

I have had problems with my eyes for years. But my question to you is.. while wearing eye makeup ie...mascara and eyeliner, my eyes water, itch and then peel. would any of you consider this to be a "product" or reaction to gluten in my makeup? If so, any suggestions on a new makeup line to use? Remember that I am on a very limited budget and am also recently dx'd. My antibodies test was neg. but doctor said there was too much of a change in my appearance and general health not to be Celiac with just the elimination of Gluten from my diet. I have been gluten-free since Dec 1, 2010. This was after 11 years of pain and suffering and beind dx'd with everything under the sun. Including being told by a dermatologist that I took too many baths, and was also allergic to my spring fed well water that contains no addatives. So now I will be making an appt to speak with my primary care physician to remove all of the non-relavant dx's from my records. I am a disabled veteran so this should be a wonderful journey of red tape to accomplish. lol I welcome any and all comments on this and any other helpful advise. I also would like to add that the entire household has gone gluten-free to aid me with my health. Everyone seems to enjoy the changes in most everything edible with the exception of the store bought gluten-free bread...

I have no idea about whether it's a reaction - but because my daughter continues to hurt after eliminating gluten foods, we've cut out all gluten that comes in contact with her skin, including make-up (both hers and mine). Bonne Belle (spelling?) is gluten free and no cross-contamination according to the company when I called in December 2010. I can't find blush but they have a fairly decent selection of eye shadow kits (although they all seem to be pretty glittery) and I like the lip gloss and mascara. The only thing not safe is the lip smackers lip balm, all other lip smackers are safe. I know it's targeted towards teens (it appears that way anyway), but it's the cheapest I've found without getting into the gluten free mineral makeup that I'd have to order. Maybe that helps a little? Good luck.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
