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. :)

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.
