Clinique Products

Because I had my best week yet while I was on vacation, even though I thought the risk for CC would be high, I have started taking a careful look at all my cosmetics. I didn't wear any makeup while on vacation, so that was a reasonable place to start.

Most of my stuff is Clinique, and they are sort of annoying...they won't give a safe/not-safe list. You have to ask about specific products. I got the following info about the products I use. The Stop Signs Hand Repair is awesome, by the way...my hands get so dry this time of year and this stuff makes them soft!

Does not contain gluten:

Stop Signs Hand Repair Lotion

Colour Surge Lipstick Palette

Colour Surge Bare Brilliance Lipstick

Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher

Naturally Glossy Mascara

Brow Shaper

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Soft Shimmer

Colour Surge Eye Shadow - Super Shimmer

High Impact Eye Shadow

Contains gluten:

High Impact Mascara

Eye Defining Shadow Duo and Liner

Anyway, I thought this might help someone else. I will probably phase out of Clinique and switch to Bare Escentuals, but it's nice to not have to do it all at once. I only have to trash two items! :D

Clinique...which makes such a big deal out of saying they are free of allergy ingredients...appear to mostly contain some form of wheat. I wrote them, and here's their response:

-------------

Thank you for your interest in Clinique.

We appreciate the opportunity to explain that we do not have a

comprehensive list of products that contain or do not contain gluten.

However, if you would kindly provide us with the specific products names

and shades with which you are interested, we will be happy to have our

chemist check for each of them.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. We hope you will look to

Clinique for all your skin care and cosmetic needs.

Sincerely,

Dana Gambuto

I got that same email at first too, but when I replied with the list of things I use, they told me which ones have gluten in less than a day's time. And most didn't. Do you have another reason to think that most of their products contain wheat?

a great big thank you! I use clinique!!!!! as I said on another post, prior to this board, I never thought about topical gluten! How stupid! Have to check my lipsticks now! Like everyone here, I spend extra money for gluten-free food, in the meantime my lipstick could be glutening me!

**ok, I checked, 2 are color surge, but one is long last...anyone know about the long last???

I took them all back, and now I'm not sure I'll remember them all. I was in the store when I returned them, and I looked at the boxes. Those with wheat were Redness Relief Cream, Stop Signs Eyes, the Repairwear products (eye cream, etc.). The clerk said "All about eyes" also had wheat. So I made the assumption that a lot of them must have it. I could be wrong. I know nothing about their makeup products as I don't use them. However, I've got a bunch of Bobbi Brown things I have to check out.

Dramatically different moisturizing lotion is also gluten-free.

Clinique anything made me break out way back to the first time I used it. Thanks for the posting. It confirmed what my body told me.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and specu...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying...

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs...

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung!

Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.
