Sadly, I have found out that all my lip products have harmful ingredients. Can anyone recommend some to me that I can replace them with? Thanks!

I highly reccomend Red Apple Lipstick! Afterglow has some shades as well. I use Red Apple because they have really pretty pink and shimmer shades. I have 4 of their lipsticks and two glosses. They are also nut and soy free and have a lipstick exchange program. Very nice customer service as well. I know that others have thier favorites.ut I waited over a year and half tofind a pretty pink to replace what I was using....Love RAL They also sale a lipbalm.

I use Afterglow and Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers. Looks like I'll have to check out Red Apple too :)

Red Apple Lipstick's products are fantastic! I believe thier countdown to Christmas sale is still going on so if you sign up for the free VIP membership you can stack the monthly coupon code with the sale for a great deal! Plus, they have thier lipstick exchange program where you can send in your old lipstick for a discount on a new one! They are amazing and so friendly! Check them out for sure!

Thanks! I'm definitely going to order from Red Apple Lipstick! How did you go about finding the right colors for you? I've never ordered a lipstick online before.

They have several pictures of each shade and are pretty true to the color online. I also judged it by how it looked on the models, finally, I pulled out my favorite that I could no longer use and went by that as well. I love french skirt, it has a shimmer to it and you can add other matte shades to it to change them up. I thought the red would be too bold for me, but when they sent me a sample, I use alittle of it with The French Skirt shade. I will say some of the shades are very light feeling and some a little heavy (French Skirt and some glosses) I like that though. I started out with one lipstick and one gloss and went from there. Great people, if you facebook, check out their page there!

Depending on where you live, there are lipsticks you can buy in a store. NARS entire make-up line is gluten free which is sold at various department stores and some make-up specialty stores ( i think MAC sells that line). I believe most bare minerals lipsticks are also gluten free.

To be honest I didn't really know what shades to pick up. I just sort of went off my skin tone (I have very light skin with pink undertones). Skin with pink undertones tend to do better with lip colors that are also pink or reds that are blue based NOT orange. I use Red!, Rebel, New York, Beach Peach and Petal Pusher lipsticks and I have the Metropolis lipgloss. The wonderful thing about Red Apple Lipstick's lipsticks are you can apply sheer coats or layer it on for a more bold look.

I use Red Apple also.  I love the red-sometimes I use it over gloss or mix with some of their lighter ones.

I did try Red Apple and love it! I ordered 2 different shades of pink-- one lighter mauve for everyday and a rose shade. They stay on a long time, don't dry my lips out, and taste and smell good. Highly recommend.

      Yes.  I have had the tmj condition for 40 years. My only help was strictly following celiac and also eliminating soy.  Numerous dental visits and several professionally made bite plates  did very little to help with symptoms

      Cristiana makes a good point and it's something I've pointed out at different times on the forum. Not all of our ailments as those with celiac disease are necessarily tied to it. Sometimes we need to look outside the celiac box and remember we are mortal humans just like those without celiac disease.

      Also suffer badly with gluten and TMJD, cutting out gluten has been a game changer, seems to be micro amounts, much less than 20ppm.  Anyone else have issues with other food stuffs? Soy (tofu) and/or milk maybe causing TMJD flare-ups, any suggestions or ideas? --- I'm beginning to think it maybe crops that are grown or cured with glyphosphate. Oats, wheat, barley, soy, lentils, peas, chickpeas, rice, and buckwheat, almonds, apples, cherries, apricots, grapes, avocados, spinach, and pistachios.

      Hi @Scatterbrain Thank you for your reply.   Some of these things could be weaknesses, also triggered by stress, which perhaps have come about as the result of long-term deficiencies which can take a long time to correct.   Some could be completely unrelated. If it is of help, I'll tell you some of the things that started in the first year or two, following my diagnosis - I pinned everything on coeliac disease, but it turns out I wasn't always right!  Dizziness, lightheaded - I was eventually diagnosed with cervical dizziness (worth googling, could be your issue too, also if you have neck pain?)  A few months after diagnosis I put my neck out slightly carrying my seven-year-old above my head, and never assigned any relevance to it as the pain at the time was severe but so short-lived that I'd forgotten the connection. Jaw pain - stress. Tinnitus - I think stress, but perhaps exacerbated by iron/vitamin deficiencies. Painful ribs and sacroiliac joints - no idea, bloating made the pain worse. It got really bad but then got better. Irregular heart rate - could be a coincidence but my sister (not a coeliac) and I both developed this temporarily after our second Astra Zeneca covid jabs.   Subsequent Pfizer jabs didn't affect us. Brain fog - a big thing for people with certain autoimmune issues but in my case I think possibly worse when my iron or B12 are low, but I have no proof of this. Insomnia - stress, menopause. So basically, it isn't always gluten.  It might be worth having your vitamins and mineral levels checked, and if you have deficiencies speak to your Dr about how better to address them?

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.
