I know that it has been discussed because I have spent hours sifting through posts on here, but I need to know current information... I was at the store and called like 4 diff companies and none of them could guarantee gluten free. Neutrogena had a lip gloss I was really wanting but she said that even though they don't add gluten ingredients to it it may be cross contaminated. Now what? I feel like I've done everything I can, I keep calling and emailing and can't find anything and my lips are pale and in need of some color (and moisture) Help please! I am sensitive to CC so i cant risk getting sick. I also can't afford to pay $50 for lipstick. :unsure:

my question: What product do you use?? what do you KNOW for 1000% is totally safe?

Asking for a gluten-free guarantee is asking for a "no" answer. Most companies do not test their ingredients, or the finished product, so they can not guarantee anything. Even those companies that spend the extra money to test (and cost more as a result) can ONLY make a claim based on the sensitivity of their test. Many test for 20 ppm, some for 10 ppm, and a very few for 5 ppm. There is no test that can prove 0 ppm.

I mean does anyone use products with success? I just don't want to get sick and when a company tell me they share lines with wheat germ and oat containing items it's a real bummer :( I just need a suggestion on what people do know works for them because I dont have celiac friends to ask

Okay, returning to the original question. It was kind of widespread about "lip products," so I thought about cosmetics. I don't use lipsick--probably a "guy" thing. :rolleyes:

I do use Chapstick, especially in the winter when it is dry. There is no ingredient in it that would be a concern, and I have been using it without problems since before my diagnosis in 2000;.

Yeah I use Burt's bees tinted lip colors. I have not called the company but the ingredients sound nice! And it feels very tingly and fresh. Im not one to react though to cc. I'm on the lookout myself for more options on lipstick.

Somebody posted not too long ago that NYC (New York Color) lipsticks are gluten free. They are inexpensive too. I've been using it with no problems at all.

I use Mary Kay lipsticks, but not sure all MK are gluten free. Contact a representative for confirmation.

Here is a recent thread with some tips for you. Use the SEARCH FORUM VIA GOOGLE at the top right corner under your profile and put in lipstick and there are many threads--just check the dates for recent info! This was was just a few months ago and it unlikely much has changed in the formulas since then.

Hi,

This is my first post and I've recently been diagnosed with celiac disease. Just wanted to thank you all for the great info and thought I'd add a communication I received today from Kiss My Face regarding their lip balms. I don't see a way to attach a .pdf file or I would.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
