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.

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.

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
