I am pretty confident that my make-up is causing me problems. What do other super sensitives use for make-up or do you just go without?

Also, what do you use for chapped lips? I am using plain old vaseline but i'd like something else.

I've been mainly going without for make-up. I do use some occasionally, and I haven't noticed problems, but that is with only very limited use. For chapped lips I use Softlips organic. To test if it could bother me, I used it a whole bunch of times one day and the next, when I would usually experience symptoms, I didn't. They have a slightly tinted version too which I sometimes wear for "make-up".

What kind has been bothering you?

I use Everyday Minerals foundation, Nars blush, Loreal Million Lashes Mascara, Smashbox eye shadows, and either Afterglow or Burts Bees lip products.

When I was searching on here for shampoo and other cosmetics information, one thread had this:

afterglow cosmetics (they are after all made by a celiac...)

I have a text document for making notes of various things when I run across it, so I can have it handy when I'm making up a shopping list.

Thanks for the info everyone. I am using Cover Girl clean makeup for sensitive skin and Maybelline shine free loose powder. Cover Girl says the foundation is gluten free. I can't get any answers out of Maybelline. I'll look into your suggestions..Thanks

I am headed that way! I can't get an honest answer out of any of these companies. It's just not worth it to me. I will take health over beauty any day!

When I was a teenager (20+ years ago) I really thought I was going to get into the whole make up thing (despite no sisters/mum who was into it.. no surprise in hindsight). But it was just so irritating on my skin (the ONLY time I had " and in hindsight was like laundry powders, bread, pasta and so many other things I tended to avoid.

I would love to feel like I could trust something to put on my skin but after so long but I just don't know if I ever will. It never bothered me in the past ... just "me" but now knowing what it is all about - it kinda makes me sad .. and mad. I wonder how many women out there are suffering because of all these products and ingredients that our skin just isn't meant to have.

diandliam,

I've alays had the same problems and not been able to use make up until recently, I'm in AUS also.

I use Inika for makeup. I have never had problems with any of their products. Trilogy make good skincare products that don't both me either (which is rare), the only product of theirs that contains gluten is their hand cream.

It makes me mad too. The thing that is the worst is that none of the companies can tell you exactly whats in it AND, do I really want a bunch of chemicals all over my face every day? I would bet that there are a ton of women in our situation who can't wear make-up. It is sad.

I hear ya on the laundry detergents and everything. I have to use unscented Cheer or I will break out all over. Unscented Dove soap in the shower etc. Sometimes I would like something just a little girly and scented. :angry::huh:

I have ordered from Natural Solutions for years. She does a great job sourcing beauty products for sensitives. I ordered from her before I knew I had a problem with gluten.

I use the Beautywise products, Earth's Beauty, as well as bare minerals (not ordered from her). I have NOT researched what I have to screen for gluten but so far no problems. I don't, however, wear cosmetics very often right now so who knows.

She generally lists product ingredients as well as interesting tidbits about product performance and use. She also lists gluten-free and other allergies is she knows them.

She does sell samples at a very reasonable price so it is easy to sample without making a huge financial commitment.

Just a note - she carries Devita which is FABULOUS. But, they advertise "gluten sensitive safe" products which contain oats and degerminated wheat germ oil. I used some of those products for years, then 2 months post gluten-free I woke up with swollen eyes. Stopped using them and it went away. So, unfortunately I don't use Devita anymore. But oh they work sooooo well.

The only product I use on my face daily is chapstick, I use Yes To Carrots and love it.

On the very occasional occasion that I do wear makeup I use Neutrogena mineral sheers powder foundation and Maybelline Great Lash mascara, haven't noticed any problems.

There's a lot of options online if you google gluten free makeup but it's quite pricey.

I use Dr. Woods Shea Vision Lavender Castile soap and it smells good and is very gentle. I've also used Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castile soap and really like it too, this is actually what I use to make my foaming hand soap...lavender is naturally antibacterial and the castile soap doesn't dry your hands out like most will. And it smells good! :)

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
