Hi, I was recently diagnosed with celiac. I knew I had a gluten intolerance, as well as multiple foods, but I didn't know how severe it was till years later. I'm still trying to figure out the foods I react to and what I can eat. I'm having a hard time with it. I just discovered that my favorite face wash, Origins checks and balances, has wheat in it! I've been using it for years. So, I'm assuming that I have to start from scratch and go through all my soaps, makeup, lotions, shampoos, cleaning products, etc. and find gluten-free products. Does anyone recommend a good face wash that they use or know another one by Origins that does not have gluten in it? How about makeup? I am using Bare Minerals and I'm pretty sure there is no gluten in it. I also use Cover Girl, Maybelline, Revlon, Almay, Clinique, and Victoria's Secret makeup. Does anyone know if these contain gluten or does it depend on the particular product? This is so frustrating. I'm also struggling financially, so if I could find some good gluten-free products that are decently priced that would be great. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Tracey

I have sensitive skin on top of celiac. What has worked the BEST for me is this...

Tea Tree bar soap - Desert Essence brand - for face & body.

Unscented Desert Essence Organics brand face & body lotion (very emollient, NOT watery).

Lip Tints - Desert Essence Organics brand.

Ecco Bella brand cover-up.

I'm kina granola so that is all the 'makeup' I use.

All can be found online at Lucky Vitamin.com - reasonably priced.

Best,

Pondy

I don't use makeup so I am no help there. I use Garneir shampoos, conditioners, face wash and facial products. They label clearly. Dove and Suave also label well. If you don't see gluten ingredients clearly listed they are safe.

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. :D I don't see any obvious gluten ingredients, but with all the reading I'm doing on this forum, I'm not so sure. What about hydrolyzed wheat protein? There are mixed reviews on this..some say it's ok to use, and some say not to use it. ??

I use Mac and Sephora make up but I do not use conceiler so not sure about that. You still need to read the labels and the sales girl was great help. I have been gluten from my lipstick before so I was real careful finding make up.

Personally I avoid it. Since it takes a very small amount of gluten to cause the antibody reaction I feel it is better safe than sorry.

I use Neutrogena Naturals face wash. It's available at most drug stores and is gluten free. Burts Bees lip shimmers are also gluten free (although not all BB products are. Their shampoos have gluten.) Blistex is gluten free. I also use Garnier hair gel. I can't remember the name but it says that it's made with 98% natural ingredients on the front. I used Whole Foods Everyday 365 shampoo. It's not as cheap as drugstore brands, but not actually that expensive. All of the above I called or checked the company websites to confirm. Other people on this site have recommended Bare Minerals as being gluten-free. Cetaphil does not guarantee their products to be gluten free, but CeraVe is gluten-free.

Hope the info helps.

I love MyChelle and Andalou skin care. I use one Origins product, you just have to read the label. MyChelles unscented cucumber wash is great. Origins Brighter by Nature pads are wonderful.

I use Bare Minerals foundation and buy most of my cosmetics from Natural Solutions, particularly Earth's Beauty brand. I use Burt's Bees lip gloss. Vanicream lotion and jojoba oil for my skin. Shampoo is JR Ligget's bar shampoo (love it because its mild and travels well).

Hi! I use

John Frieda's Roots Awakening (no gluten or dyes),

Hamadi leave in shea conditioning cream with lavender

and Hamadi shea conditioning spray

Renpure Organics Conditioner (no gluten, parabens, sulfates, dyes),

Neutrogena Moistureshine Lipgloss,

Milani Lipstick,

Physician's Formula (Eye Shimmers in Hazel, Eye Shimmers Eyeliner in Hazel and Glam Brown, Eye Liner, Undereye concealer, Happy Booster Bronzer and Blush, Organics Mascara).

Sephora eyeshadow

Yardley of London soaps

Vanicream and Vaniply lotions

Burts Bees Body Milk

Salma Hayek Nuance Dual Phase Jojoba and Coconut Body Oil

I don't use foundations, matting agents, or veils- so I can't give you recommendations there. I have pretty sensitive skin, and I've found them far too irritating to bother.

Oh- I also can't vouch for these companies personally, having not used them myself. I have however heard very good things about them.

Red Apple Lipstick has developed a line of cruelty free, gluten free lipsticks that advertise on here occasionally in sidebars. The colors look luscious, and the line is cruelty free! I also have it on good authority that the cosmetic chemist is developing a line of eyeliners that will be available in about 4-6 months or so.

Also, Afterglow Cosmetics has an *amazing* looking line that's just a little out of my price range. I might break down though and buy a few things, because holy wow, those colors look stunning.

Lancome's website has this helpful guide for make-up ingredients to watch out for:

The following is a list of ingredients that are used in our products are those that contain wheat and other grains. This list gives the standard industry names for ingredients as found in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary.

I adore Andalou skin cremes...the first I've found that actually get rid of flakiness and leave my face feeling supple and lifted, and they're gluten free.  MyChelle is awesome, I agree.  Just spoke to them on the phone and they're certified gluten-free.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @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...

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...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

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!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @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 the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
