Make-Up (Yes Again)

Does anyone know if Cover Girl Clean Make-up foundation is safe. I am also trying to find into on Maybelline Shine Free Powder. I am thinking that one of these is CC'ed b/c I keep getting glutened symptoms on Mondays and the only time I wear both of these items is on Sat. and Sun.

Does anyone know of any drug store make-up that is for sure gluten free. The companies seem so vague with their answers when I email them. I can't get any answers out or Cover Girl or Maybelline. Cover Girl told me that this one powder was gluten free but when I went to buy some, it had oat flour. :o

I'm about ready to start going for the natural look!

Hi gluten-free,

I have to wear make up because of my job. I finally gave up and called Merle Norman, asked to speak to the owner, and told her I wanted to come in for a makeover, but only with gluten-free products. (I called them because I saw that they were a sponsor at a Celiac convention. I mentioned that she didn't need to call be back the same day, take her time.

She called me back the same day and said she had a list of which products I couldn't use.

The makeover took about 40 minutes. I spent some money that I didn't want to spend, but the foundation is fabulous. They're Lasting Foundation works for me, I'm totally happy with it and a little bit goes a long way. My sister (not gluten-free) saw me after my makeover and went there too.

I haven't gotten sick from it, and have used it for a month. I'm fortunate that I live in a town with a Merle Norman Studio, but I'd be willing to drive an hour to got to one now that I know about it.

I feel more confident about my appearance and health, so it's worth every penny I spent, especially since I wasted money on so many products that were gluten-free but didn't work for me, or had problems with drugstore products.

I hope this helps. The foundation cost over $20, but I think it will last at least six months. I love their lipstick too!

Thank you! I am going to check into it. :)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
