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.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
