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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum.   It was once believed that Celiac Disease was only a childhood disease and it can be outgrown.  That was before 1951, before gluten was discovered to be cause of Celiac Disease, also called Infantilism.  Back then Cileac Disease was thought to be only a gastro intestinal disease, once you  "outgrew" the colicky phase, you were cured. You were so lucky to be diagnosed at 5 years old so your developing years were normal.  Gluten can affect multiple systems.  The nervous system, your intellegence. The muscules, skeleton. It can cause neurological issues like brain fog, anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy.  It can cause joint pain, muscle weakness, and skin rashes. Epilepsy is 1.8 times more prevalent in patients with celiac disease, compared to the general population. Because through malabsorption and food avoidances, it causes vitamin D and numerouus other essential nutrient deficiencies, it allows allergies, infections, poor growth, stuffy sinuses and eustacian tubes. There is even a catagory of celiac disease called "Silent Celiac".  Any symptoms are explained away as this, that or the other thing. Gluten is one of the most addictive substances we consume.  Activating the Opiod receptors in our cells, it can numb us to the damage that it, and other foods are causing.  It has become socially acceptable to eat foods that make us feel sick.  "There's a pill for that".   It is generally accepted that n fact you are weird if you don't. The hardest part is that if you don't eat gluten you will feel great and think why not.  But slowly it will effect you, you'll be diagnosed with real diseases that you don't have. You'll be more susseptable to other autoimmune diseases.  As you read through the posts here, notice how many are finally dianosed, after years of suffering at older ages.  Is it worth it? I think not. Perhaps this book will help:  Here is a list of possible symptoms:

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Riley. · Posted

      Hi! Im Riley, 18 years old and have been diagnosed for 13 years.. the testing started bc I stopped growing and didn’t gain any weight and was really small and thin for my age.  I got diagnosed when I was 5 and have been living gluten free since, in elementary and middle school it was hard for me and I kept contaminating myself bc I wanted to fit in with my friends so so badly. I ate gluten secretly at school and mostly regretted it 30 minutes later.  I’ve had symptoms like diarrhea, nausea, headaches, stomachaches, threw up a lot and was really emotional.  In 2022 I really started working on myself and tried to stay gluten free and if I did eat gluten I wouldn’t tell anyone and suffer in silence.  Last year in July I begged my mom to let me „cheat“ one day bc I just wanted to fit in… I ate a lot of different stuff, all the stuff I missed out on in my childhood like nuggets, pizza and all that.. I didn’t have symptoms that day and was doing really fine My mom and I wanted to test how far we can go and said we would test it for 12 weeks to get my blood taken after to see if I’m doing good or if symptoms start showing  As a now 18 year old girl who finally gained a normal weight and doesn’t get symptoms I’m to scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz I finally found comfort in food and it got so much easier for me and my family.  A year and 4 months later i still didn’t get any symptoms and have been eating gluten daily.  I’m scared to get tested/my blood taken cuz what if I’m actually not fine and have to go back to eating gluten free. Any tips to get over that fear and „suck it up“ cuz I know I could seriously damage my body… sorry if I seem like a idiot here… just don’t really know what to do :,)

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better
