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,

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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
