I'd like some suggestions of tea we can have.

I drink Rooibos tea, and green tea, mostly.

Are they safe?

Oh and how about coffee?

Thanks,

AlwaysHope

Some teas contain BARLEY. Be careful. Celestial Seasonings surprised me.

Check with the mfr. Many of them are transitioning to a newer method of sealing their bags that does not utilize gluten based glues. Tetley is okay for sure. Some of the Celestian Seasonings are as well. They clearly list gluten-free on their label if they are. I don't know anything about the brand you mentioned. I had never heard of it.

Green teas are ok. You know, it's mainly the brands that are combinations of spices and such that throw in the barley. I've never heard of the bags being a problem. If you're into green teas *I am too*, you can get it loose and get a little tea ball to brew it in. I prefer the Republic of China green tea and that's already bagged. I'm picky about my green tea, though.

Yep, always check with the manufacturer because some teas do contain gluten.

You pretty much have to check everything from soaps and shampoos to lipsticks.

If you post the ingredients or email them then I will look at them for you and tell you what I think.

It's also always a good thing to check with the manufacturer anyway too.

There are some brands I can recommend if you would like. I use a brand that has their whole makeup line gluten free which makes life easier.

Thanks Kaiti. Like I said, I emailed the manufacturer so they can confirm. I was just wondering if you could see some obvious ones.

My problem is that I am Multiple Chemical Sensitive as well, so there are so few

that I can use that are scent free. Lots that say they are, but I can smell them a mile away.

I haven't been able to use regular cosmetics for a couple years...

Here are the ingredients:

Mascara

Ingredients (INCI): Water (Aqua), Alcohol, Sorbitol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Castor (Ricinus communis) Oil, Bentonite, Camellia sinensis Extract, Neem (Melia azadirachta) Leaf Extract, Euphrasia officinalis Extract, Jojoba (Buxus chinensis) Wax, Rose (Rosa gallica) Wax, Rose (Rosa damascena) Essential Oil, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin [May Contain: +/- Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77499), Ultramarines (CI 77007), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)]

Lipstick 01-12

Ingredients (INCI): Castor (Ricinus communis) Oil, Rose (Rosa canina) Hip Extract, Jojoba (Buxus chinensis) Oil, Lanolin, Carrot (Daucus carota) Extract, Candelilla Wax (Candelilla Cera), Shea (Butyrospermum parkii) Butter, Beeswax (Cera flava), Carnauba (Carnauba cerifera) Wax, Rose (Rosa gallica) Petal Extract, Sweet Almond (Prunus dulcis) Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Anthyllis vulneraria Extract, Rice (Oryza sativa) Germ Oil, Rose (Rosa gallica) Wax, Jojoba (Buxus chinensis) Wax, Fragrance (essential oil), Lecithin [May Contain: +/- Mica, Carmine (CI 75470), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891)]

See anything obvious??

I'll let you know what the manufactuer says and please do give me the line of the ones you use, so I can check them out incase.

Thanks again,

AlwaysHope

Alcohol sticks out at me. That can contain gluten so you should check about that.

Sometimes fragrances will have gluten in them too but the major thing that sticks out to me is Alcohol.

I use Bare Escentuals mascara. That whole makeup line is gluten free so I use mostly their products.

Continuous color by CoverGirl is gluten free and I have one shade of that.

Whats the brand of those 2 products? That may help solve the mystery.

Hey, I have always been a big fan of the clinique products, so I wrote to them immediately after dx. They replied with the following ingredients list for several companies, and although I had to re-purchase (in order to read ingredients of the boxes), I haven't found any products containing gluten yet.

Dear Ms. Waller,

Thank you for contacting us regarding the ingredients in our products that might be unsuitable for you to use because of your specific condition.

We are attaching a list of grain-derived ingredients, found on our labels, which will be helpful in providing you direction. This information covers products marketed under the following trademarks: Estée Lauder, Inc.; Clinique Laboratories, Inc.; Aramis, Inc.; Origins Natural Resources, Inc.; Bobbi Brown essentials; Tommy Hilfiger Toiletries, MAC, Stila, and Prescriptives, Inc.

Consumers will find ingredient listings on our primary packaging material, in accordance with FDA regulations, using names which are standard throughout the cosmetic and fragrance industry. Because of the vast number of raw materials from different sources, it is not possible to guarantee that our products are completely free of any of the grains specified. The denatured ethyl alcohol in our products is produced synthetically, with the exception of the denatured ethyl alcohol in MAC products, which is derived from corn.

We trust that this information is helpful to you and are glad to have been of assistance.

Sincerely,

Linda Romeo

Hi, I'm gald to see this post about tea. I started to panic and went to my cupboard to check my Celestial Seasonings Tea. I bought the box of tea a few weeks ago. The box I have is the Fruit Sampler. On the very bottom of the box the Fruit Sampler is says "Gluten Free." I'll be sure to look for the gluten free label next time!!

I used Clinque for years but I switched to the Bare Escentuals and I'm crazy about it.... :blink:

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Yep, Celestial Seasonings is awesome. They will mark gluten free right on the box :D

As for Clinique, I used to love their products but what I had of theirs had gluten and it would give me horrible reactions.

You can visit Celestial Seasonings and Bigelow's website and they will list which products are gluten-free and have it marked on their products.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.
