Glutened By Nailpolish

Believe it or not.. nailpolish was the culprit.

I have a not very good habit of trying to fix accidentally smudged spots on my nails by licking them.. As much as this is embarrassing to admit I thought I'd share it anyway as a warning.

Which products do you use which you know are gluten free? I'm specially curious in terms of lip gloss.. haven't dared to put any since I started.

I use Blistex Medicated Lip Balm (in the blue-green tube) and have no problem with it. I know others use Chap Stick. There are obviously more but I have no experience with them.

I use Burt's Bees for lip gloss/lip stick.

Instead of lipgloss I just use plain old vaseline. I react to chapstick as does my boyfriend. There are some cosmetic lines that are completely gluten free, and several that are partially gluten free. I suggest you use the Search engine.

For myself I have to be particularly careful since I am also salicylate sensitive, so most dyes are out.

So more than likely you can thank your lucky stars you aren't as sensitive to colorants as I am and are instead just needing things that are gluten free. At least now I know why I was never very comfortable with cosmetics. As an artist i have to use nitrile or vinyl cotton flocked gloves when I paint and be careful not to fling it everywhere. LOL!

I'm not big on make-up except for lipgloss and lipstick -- it has always been my one splurge. I pitched everything upon my diagnosis and went without until I found Red Apple Lipstick. I have been using their stuff with no problem. They are gluten free, paraben free, a bunch of other stuff free! I was not keen on ordering lipstick online since I've always liked to see it in the past but I gave it a try and I haven't been sorry. I really love the stuff. They've also recently introduced a balm that is very nice -- I bought three and have one at home and one in my purse and a backup because I just know I'm going to loose the one in my purse (it has happened in the past!) I've also used the Neutrogena Naturals lipbalm with no problems.

Both Burt's bees and Chap Stick brands may be cross contaminated, don't use them. However the whole Soft lips brand is gluten free, their whole factory is gluten free.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
