I e-mailed both these make up companies in hopes that they had make up i can wear....neutrogena typed this:

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies fully comply with all regulations on ingredients in the countries in which our products are sold. Wherever regulatory authorities have set limits on certain ingredients, our product formulations either meet those limits or contain a lesser amount of the regulated ingredient. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and safety that have been our hallmark for generations of consumers.

Although Gluten was not added to these products, we cannot guarantee that cross contamination with Gluten did not occur in the manufacturing process. In addition, some of the ingredients in the product may have been purchased by us from outside distributors and we cannot say with absolute certainty that cross contamination did not occur at their facilities. We recommend that you speak with your treating physician if you are concerned that with your self particular sensitivity, the product's listed ingredients may trigger an allergic reaction.

Also the Oil Free Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin does contain gluten.We hope this information will be helpful to you.

Boy am I glad that I stopped using that moisturizer and switched to cetaphil...i hope that one really is gluten free.....

I've heard a lot of you say neutrogena seemed to be okay though so i'm confused....i'm at a complete loss about make up. And I don't want to use mineral make up which the majority of you seem to use so i'm confused *sighs*

Here is the response from smashbox regarding some products i was considering...

Thank you for taking the time to contact Smashbox, a brand of the Estee Lauder Companies.

For the benefit of our gluten-sensitive consumers who may have cross-sensitivities, Smashbox takes the extra precaution of including soy, corn and rice in our research in addition to wheat, oat, barley and rye derivatives.

In addressing your concern about gluten, we would like to explain that a vast number of raw materials from many different suppliers and sources are used in the manufacture of Estee Lauder Companies' products. It is therefore not possible for us to fully guarantee that our products are completely free of ingredients that may elicit an allergic response in highly sensitive individuals who react to gluten. For example, it is possible that small amounts of a wheat sourced ingredient may remain on shared manufacturing equipment even after a thorough cleaning. We therefore recommend that you discuss this with your physician, because consumer safety is of utmost concern to us.

Below are the results of your gluten ingredient inquiry:

Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation SPF 10 - contains ingredients derived from Soy and Corn

High Definition Healthy FX Foundation - contains ingredients derived from Soy and Corn

Be Legendary - contains Wheat bran, Soy and Corn derived ingredients

Limitless Waterproof Liquid Liner Pen - alcohol may be derived from various grains

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact Smashbox. I sincerely hope I was able to be of assistance. Please know that your satisfaction and business is very important to us. We hope you will continue to look to Smashbox for your essential beauty needs.

Sincerely,

Gloria Chang

Consumer Care Representative

Neutrogena Naturals skin care is gluten-free.

I read that e.l.f. Is gluten-free ingredients but the equipment may be cc'd. Supposedly available at Target.

I use lots of mineral makeup so it's easier but I struggle with sourcing all of it online.

I think Cetaphil states their gluten-free status online.

Do you know if neutrogena Naturals contains soy by chance?

They tell you more than most. And they do say gluten-free on the website. You'll have to ask about the soy - but last I checked soy was a legume.

You'd be surprised how people have mixed that up before honestly. But they really SHOULD be more specific...let's say someone was allergic to corn..would be nice if they could know that you know? Stuff like that..

Actually, I wouldn't...since half the population can't correctly identify produce at the grocery store.

They are better than most mainstream cosmetics companies on this brand. Origins is very good at using "regular" names on labels.

Beans and peas are also legumes, but people call them vegetables :P I bet people would find it weird to find out there were legumes in their cosmetics if that was the way they referred to soy..:D

Have you looked at the Kiss My Face line for moisturizers? This one says gluten free and I don't see soy listed unless it is hidden in one of those other words!

According to the Neutrogena website, their entire Naturals line is gluten free.

For make up, NARS (you can find it at Sephora) is gluten free. They have a statement on their website that their entire line is (wheat) gluten free, but I think one or two of their products, it says, contain corn gluten.

I talked to a make up company I found that i used for stage makeup and what not. They also have HD makeup. Well they said their products contain no gluten or soy and that there is no need to a high quality company to contain those ingredients. When I asked about cross contamination they said "They guys might eat a sandwich in the break room

I tried e-mailing neutrogena again about soy and got word for word the same response i got before about gluten. They totally ignored my soy inquiry. And stated in the e-mail they couldn't guarantee it wasn't gluten free.

I just checked the ingredient list for Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisturiser for Sensitive Skin. Can anyone tell me what the gluten-containing ingredient is? I've been using this product because it looked OK. (I'm a silent celiac so don't show obvious symptoms).

Water, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Cyclomethicone, Soybean (Glycine Soja) Sterols, Isopropyl Isostearate, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG, 10 Soy Sterol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Carbomer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Diazolidinyl Urea, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, why can't companies use plain english for allergens! :angry:

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
