joined about 2 weeks ago, it took me abt 3 weeks to figure out how to join- i am a bit crap on computers though!) only joined for the food directory that you get. im finding it a bit odd. there doesnt seem to be a designated forum like on here and the "meeting room" they have( that doesnt belong to celiac uk) just seems to be questions about food. is...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Products Uk
jhol replied to jhol's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
well ive just got my first email back from a cosmetic company, and it was from e.l.f. which was the last one i emailed. they said they do not use gluten in any of their cosmetics but cant guarantee the lines they are produced on are gluten free. im thinking that means they are pretty much gluten free and they are just throwing out that old line as a precaution... -
