Need Suggestions For Completely Celiac Friendly Makeup

I am desperately searching for Celiac friendly makeup. I'm not just talking about gluten free, I'm talking about gluten free AND cross-reactive foods free as well; this includes: wheat, barely, rye, oats, corn, soy, rice, milk, potato, egg, yeast, spelt, coffee, sesame, buckwheat, sorghum, millet, hemp, amaranth, quinoa, tapioca, & teff. I am severely sensitive and anything that contains these items makes me extremely ill. I have searched far and wide. I have tried ELF, made me extremely sick, come to find out that glycerine is derived from soy. Has anyone tried Dermablend creme? It doesn't contain any of these that i could find but, I would like to hear from others that are very sensitive that have tried it.

Thanks for reading and your replies.

Wow!  That is a lot of intolerances!  How long have you had celiac disease? How damaged was your villi?    If you are new, it can takes a year or longer to heal and resolve intolerances that often accompany celiac disease.  

I just worry about products that can be swallowed accidentally.  This includes sunscreen, lipstick, foundation,  hand lotion, shampoos,etc.  I do not worry about mascara.  I use Gabriel gluten-free lipstick.

I have been sick for a little over 7 years. All of the doctors where I live told me that it was stress and anxiety related except for one but they couldn't figure out what was wrong because it stayed subclinical for 5 years. They got me accepted as a patient at the Cleveland Clinic and it took them almost a year to figure it out. I have improved tremendously but, I'm still having problems. I was able to come off of thyroid medication, I can now stand for longer than 5 minutes, I can drive again, my skin doesn't feel like it is sunburnt all of the time now and many other smaller things have improved. I'm also still drinking Pepsi and I'm guessing that is probably causing me to still have some problems. I wouldn't be so concerned with makeup of it wasn't for the huge circles I have around my eyes from being sick. They look terrible and I would love to find something I can use to help comceal them.

Ah, so many of us have been told that our symptoms are "all in our heads"!  I am glad that you finally are getting better.  There is a huge learning curve to the diet on top of varying degrees of damage, so recovery is long for most.  It took me a year to feel okay and another year to feel normal (I dealt with wildly swinging thyroid too).  A severe glutening last year (unknown source but confirmed by antibodies testing), created some new problems (hives, rashes, itching, etc).  The new symptoms have resolved thankfully, but that took about six months.   Enough about me.

My cousin has always had dark circles under her eyes since she was a kid (duh...she is gluten intolerant, but it could be totally unrelated).   She is an expert at concealing them.  Uses a yellow color (green for hiding red).  My daughter and I use Physcian's Formula concealers.  Google tips from makeup artists.  Hopefully, your circles may diminsh as your health continues to improve.  It may be related to allergies and not even celiac disease.  Hard to say.  

Pepsi.  Drink it as a treat.  It is crap and you know it.  But I get it.  You have to have a vice as we have given up so much.

Thanks for all of the replies and messages! Yes, Pepsi is crap and I do know, like you said, I have given up everything, it's all I have left. It needs to go too. 

I will most definitely check out Physician's Formula and Arbonne cosmetics. Hopefully, I will be able to use some of those products.

My dark circles are absolutely hideous. They aren't just dark circles, they have yellow in the center of them. Sometimes they start to clear up and then they go right back to the way they were. I'm probably very vitamin deficient, I'm sure that's playing a role in this.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cameo674! First, let me correct a misconception you have about celiac disease and intestinal anatomy. Celiac disease does not affect the colon. It damages the lining of the small bowel which is on the other end of the intestinal track from the colon. The small bowel, the duodenum, is the part of the intestines right below the stomach. So, your colonoscopy would not have been examining that area. The scope just won't go up that far. Examination of the small bowel is done with an endoscopy, not a colonoscopy. The go in through the mouth, the stomach and into the upper part of the intestines.  People with celiac disease experience an autoimmune response when gluten is consumed that generates inflammation in the lining of the small bowel which, over times, wears down the millions of tiny finger-like projections that constitute this lining. We call those finger-like projections "villi" and the lining is termed the "villous lining" of the small bowel. The inflammatory response by the immune system perceiving gluten to be an invader threat produces antibodies that can be measured in the blood. This is what was what those tests were done for that you posted in your opening narrative. The villous lining of the small bowel is where all of the nutrition is absorbed from the food we eat. The constant inflammation of celiac disease over time wears down these millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections and greatly reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption. Hence, it is common for those whose celiac disease has been undiagnosed for a long time and who continue to consume gluten develop health problems that are related to nutritional deficiencies, even though they may be eating well. Your test results do indicate you have celiac disease. The most important of those tests you listed is the Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) - 44.0 U/mL and it was "out of range". We abbreviate this as tTG-IGA. I take "out of range" to mean it was elevated. You did not include the reference ranges used by the lab for the tests so I am assuming "out of range" means positive or high. There are no industry standards for reference ranges for these tests. Each lab uses their own because they each build the tests a little differently or may use different units to express the results. Normally, if any of the celiac blood antibody tests are positive, a GI doc will want to perform an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to microscopically check for damage to the villous lining. This is confirmation of the blood antibody testing. Sometimes they will forego the endoscopy/biopsy if the tTG-IGA score is very high. But it is very important that you not begin to cut back on gluten until all testing is complete. Doing so will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin and will likely invalidate the testing. It is recommended that people consume at least 10g of gluten daily (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) in the weeks leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy.  Finally, it sounds like your middle child also needs to be tested for celiac disease. A couple of studies done with rather large sample sizes in the last couple of years showed that almost 50% of first degree relatives of those with celiac disease, when tested, also had celiac disease. Many of them were "silent". That is, they were largely asymptomatic.

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Still waiting to get into the doctor to discuss my test results and see if further testing like a biopsy is necessary. My appointment is in June 2025.  Yep it takes that long to get in to see the doc.     Anyway, I paid to have some functional health bloodwork done in December 2024.  I got the results just after Christmas. Because my middle child suffers from bloating and she asked if I ever considered that I might be gluten intolerant or have celiac disease, I added the celiac blood tests to the testing that I was having completed.  That child has panic attacks when a needle goes near her; so, I decided to do the testing to see if she needed to move forward with testing for herself.   My test results were: Deamidated Gliadin (IgA) - 53.8 U/mL; Deamidated Gliadin (IgG) - 250.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) - 44.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG) - < 1.0; and Immunoglobulin A (IgA) - 274.0 U/dL. The first 3 are out of range and the 2nd two are in range.  That company does not offer the Cyrex array 3 & 4 so I could go in armed to my appointment with further information.  I have read the article that seems to be posted as a reply for most of the posts in this forum.   First of all, I never thought I had an issue with gluten, because I never associated flatulence or constipation with gluten. I know I am lactose intolerant.  As I have gotten older, I’m in my late 50’s, I have decreased my bread/pasta intake 4 or 5 years ago, because I have been trying to increase my protein intake which is hard for me to do since I don’t really like protein most the time.  My friend who is a nurse said that I should not go on a gluten free diet until a doctor decides whether or not I need a biopsy which may take a few months to get on a doctor’s schedule based on how long it will be just for my initial visit. So my question is this, wouldn’t the gastro doc, who did my colonoscopy when I turned 50 when I did not have a restricted gluten diet, have noticed that I had celiac if I had it? Or are there zero visible changes to the colon it’s self?   I did not have any polyps so no biopsies were preformed as a result of that preventative colonoscopy.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.
