Well, I haven't gutted my cosmetics yet but have worked in some of the others.

Shampoo - JR Ligget's

Lotion - Vanicream

Body wash - Dove (but I don't like it, has a scent)

Face wash - superfine sugar and brown rice flour. SERIOUSLY.

face lotions/potions - Devita

I use natural cosmetics but dont think they contain wheat. Had to ditch my henna color (Logona) to Light Mountain. I need a different one because I'm not a fan of Light Mountain.

Deodorant is the worst for me since my DH is under my arms. Ugh.

Cosmetics: All of this brand's products are gluten free and natural, many of them organic. I think I read somewhere that the founder has Celiac and that's why she created this brand. There are a TON of different options on this site to choose from.

I was using Crest Pro Health toothpaste and Crest 3D whitening mouthwash, and I got an email back today saying that they were not gluten free...

Would you please post the exact question that you asked, and the exact reply that you were given. "Not gluten-free" is often a legal disclaimer when the product is in fact gluten-free, but they do not test for possible contamination of the ingredients.

I had a spectacular allergic reaction to one of those supposedly allergy friendly, herbal deodorants I tried using recently, after I was getting repeated failures from the "new and improved" brand I was using, which would fail after a few hours... and I don't actually sweat that much. Since I was now almost desperate, after washing it off and skipping a day, I tried just applying some baking soda under my arms while they were still damp. Other than it stung a bit at first on the rash, it worked better than any of these other brands I had tried, and the rash cleared up. I've been using it now for about month, and may not bother to try to find something else, because it's still holding when I'm outside in hot (like over 95

Thanks for the tip. I think I've been to that site. I actually used apple cider on my pits this am-and it does kill b.o. Don't know if it will last-burned a tad on my DH but I can dilute it next time.

powder --same as foundation

eyeshadow --never wore it before going gluten-free

eyeliner --never used

mascara --never used

lipstick --Don't use but I do put olive oil or coocnut oil on my lips when they get too dry.

deodorant --Dove unscented is the only one I can use

toothpaste --Crest, Colgate or Aquafresh--only thing I'm not picky about since all are gluten-free

shampoo --Garnier Frutis OR Loreal Vive Pro in the pink bottle. I have to rotate my shampoos and conditiors every month of they stop working for me so I alternate between these two brands. I have also used Head and Shoulders in a pinch (my husband uses it so it's there if I run out of my shampoo).

conditioner-- same as shampoo.

body wash\soap -- Ivory bar soap or Dial natural bar soap (forget the exact name of the Dial but it's one with no added dyes or scents).

face scrub--Don't use.

I actually deleted it after I got it, I usually do to save space... But basicly I asked if either the Crest Pro Health Toothpastes or mouthwashs had any gluten or wheat in them. They said about the toothpaste the ingredients used was gluten free but processed near a place that processes wheat. And the mouthwashs have traces of gluten in them.

Sorry, I know not an official answer, next time I won't delete the info I get. I am just new to this website and sharing things, I got use to just looking it up for myself and deleting it.

You don't want to see my primary email inbox then. It contains over 10,000 items going back over ten years. And, yes, I do delete a lot of stuff, otherwise it would be twice that size. :ph34r:

I can attest to the fact that Milk of Magnesia works! I have been using it for the past two weeks, and it works BETTER than any deodorant or anti-perspirant I have ever tried. It's a little messy, but not that bad - what I did was poke a hole in the aluminum seal under the cap, and I took a powder puff out of a package of face powder that I had never used and apply it with that. I'm going to see about finding (or making) a roll-on container. It is amazing how well it works. With normal deodorant/anti-perspirants, after a while on a hot day, I can smell a little bit of me and a lot of the scent of the product. With MoM, there is absolutely no odor at all, and no soggy underarms. I LOVE IT!

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
