Makeup Product Regarding Gluten

Does anyone use or used, Loreal True Match Natural (mineral foundation)? I have researched and do not think it contains gluten. Has anyone had any problems with it? Does anyone know for certain if it is gluten/wheat free? (Or if you have used loreal skin products in general)

Thanks!

I've only used a L'oreal moisturizer and didn't have any problems with it but have not used their makeup.

I've now switched to Garnier and like their moisturizer more than L'oreal.

Cosmetics and personal care products are the most difficult to check for gluten. The one thing that's really important to be gluten-free is lipstick and lip balm since they can be ingested.

Michelle L, I noticed that you recently joined so I'm assuming that you are new to this? If so, it can be very difficult to figure out if your cosmetics are gluten free or not. You may want to first look at the ingredients on the packaging and see if any wheat ingredients stand out. If they don't, try contacting the manufacturer.

I don't use any of the Loreal products so can't help out on that front.

I know that many people on this forum like the Everyday Minerals - do a search on here and you will see tons of messages. They are very reasonably priced. I use Bare Escentuals which is also gluten free for foundation and concealor. I use Lancome eye shadow, lipstick and mascara(definicils) which I have confirmed by calling them that they are gluten free. I also use Burts Bees lipshimmers, but understand they will no longer say their products are gluten-free so I will have to re-evaluate that.

Sorry I couldn't help on the Loreal, but hopefully someone else on here uses their products and can comment.

Okay, thanks for all the makeup tips! I was thinking about switching to Bare Escentuals or another mineral powder I know for sure is gluten free!

One question..do you think the foundation or face wash I was using could have an effect on my face if it did have gluten/wheat? Only wondering because I noticed my face had gotten somewhat puffier/bloated over the past year...but i dont know if this has anything to do with makeup/skin care products or more because of the previous gluten foods I had been eating?

I would suspect, though I wouldn't say 100%, that any reaction you would have from foundation or face wash would be more along the lines of itchy skin or a rash. I switched my shampoo from one that had wheat in it because it was making my scalp itch. I think puffiness and bloating would generally be more due to toxins you've eaten (i.e. gluten).

Thank you all so much for the make-up discussion. I was wondering if anyone knew of safe gluten free chapstick, lip balm,etc.? I did contact a few companies, but it is difficult to wade through all the "25 $" words naming the ingredients.

I actually do use Loreal true match foundation and have had no issues. It really does not get near my mouth. I wash my hands well afterward.

Like other people said, watch the lip color/balm! I use Desert Essence Organics Lip Tints.

Best,

Pondy

Okay, thats kind of what I was thinking too. Even though I am gluten/dairy free, my face puffiness isnt going away. I have a list of my allergies and so I more or less think I know what to stay away from....and drink a lot of water. So I dont know what could be causing it! Just trying to think of diff. things.

I wonder if the puffiness could be due to inflammation. If you are new to this, you could still have some inflammation in your body. Or, maybe an allergy to some of the ingredients in the products you are using? It is so hard to tell. I hope you find out what it is.

I had/have some puffiness that isn't all fat.

About 2 months gluten-free my eyes started swelling from Devita skin care products that are labeled "gluten sensitive safe". They use regular oats and de-germed wheat germ oil. Was fine for years until 2 months gluten-free then whammy.

So, you never know....

Btw it wasn't just "puffy", it was obviously swollen. Different than it had ever looked.

I use MyChelle products and one Origins product that appears gluten-free. So far so good.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
