I'v e been going back and forth everyday and thought if we have a "favorite" product we could share what it is. I'm new and going shopping. If someone has a favorite blush, any make-up, skin care,shampoo, conditioner, vitamin, etc It would be so helpful and much simplier. There are tons of products out there, so between the brain frog from being gluttened and the choices it would be so helpful! Thanks LindaLee p.s. I'll learn how to put an icon on eventually.

I use Emenince face cleanser/moisturizer and Bare Minerals and glo Minerals Make-up. Emenince is not all gluten-free though. You have to read the label. But it is all natural, organic ingredients, so if there is gluten in there at all, it will be on the label. I have also read posts from others who have said that Bare Minerals cleansers and stuff are not gluten-free, but I don't use those, just the make-up. And I really like both!

I use Alterna Caviar Shampoo and Conditioner. The hairspray is not gluten-free.

I use Estee Lauder Equalizer foundation, and their lip pencils and eye pencils.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head ...

Ah! I love Mary Kay. I used to sell it (and I am still a consultant, but I don't use a lot of their stuff anymore). I like the Bare Mineral foundation much more than the MK foundation. And their nail polish has gluten in it, by the way. One of the mascara's did too, but they phased that one out, so if yours is less than 3 months old, then you shouldn't have on of the ones that had wheat protien in it. Anyway, cool!

Is Emenince something to get at the health food store? Is the glo minerals from bare minerals? Alot of people seem to like bare essentials they call it - I think its the same

Actually, I get Eminence from my local spa (where my aesthetician was the one who noticed a difference in my skin when I went gluten-free) and she suggested an organic brand. She found this stuff for me, and liked it so much, that she started selling it there! They have a website too, double-u double-u double-u dot eminenceorganics dot com. (I was spelling it wrong earlier, it is e-m-i-n-e-n-c-e). And I think Bare Essentials is the company name, and Bare Minerals is the name of the make-up. glo Minerals is a different mineral make-up company all their own. It is a little more expensive, but they have some things that Bare Minerals don't have, like a pressed powder mineral compact.

We like the shampoo bar from BeanTree because it is just olive oil with no added worries (of course, lye to make it soap! LOL)

I like the aubrey organics line of products. They are very skin safe.

I use their sunblocks and I also use Alba sunblocks.

I use Aubrey's silk transculent powder for face.

Homemade lip gloss/balm is easy to make, and we do that at home.

They have 3 different kinds, they have the regular clear one, then they have one with gold flecks and one with silver I think. The ones with flecks are venom flash.

The lip venom (regular) is great, too!

It's safe. I found it on here somewhere where someone called them. Either way, no reaction :)

I'll be honest, I'm not very careful about makeup or skincare but so far have had no problems. I use a face lotion that I love but it's not a name brand you can buy. It's manufacture by one of the companies that makes the makeup for the larger brands but I think only smaller private labels use it.

Right now I am using a Giorgio Armani foundation, Clinique concealer, Nars and Fresh Blush, Laura Mercier Bronzer and Mac Lipsticks. The only one I checked out is the lipsticks and are confirmed gluten-free. The others must be fine because I have no problems.

For shampoo I'm currently using John Frieda highlighting shampoo, Finesse conditioner and some frizz taming thing from Biolage.

But I kinda just use whatever I get from the beauty sales at work. I rarely ever buy makeup or hair products.

Oh, one thing I do buy is this awesome chapstick. I don't think you can get it in the US. I had a tube that a friend gave me to try after a trip in Europe, and last time DH went to Canada for business he brought me back a ton. It's called Lobello. It's the best Chapstick ever!! (And it's cheap).

I'm using Laura Mercier concealer and Nars lipstick, blush and bronzer -- both brands are completely gluten-free, according to the calls I made.

I swap between a Lorac lip polish and a Delux lipgloss over my chapstick.

I've been swapping between Aveda Sap Moss shampoo (gluten-free -- the conditioner isn't) and Dove -- using the Dove conditioner most of the time.

Just a warning: it stings for a few minutes after you put it on! It's not bad though, just spicy, and the effects are worth it ;)

Oh, and warn your husband before you kiss him! He might not enjoy that much...men aren't into the pain is beauty thing :P

I use coconut oil for lots of stuff - eye make-up remover, moisterizer, eye cream etc. etc.

Coconut oil is also good in the kitchen! I especially like it on air popped popcorn ... half butter, half coconut oil, with some sea salt and Bragg's Liquid Aminos! It's a natural cure for candida.

I've also used it after the shower while I'm still wet as a moisturizer (not the same jar as is used in the kitchen :blink: )

I pop popcorn with it too (separate jar in the kitchen of course :D ).

It is amazing as a moisturizer though!

I also have to sing the praises of popcorn popped old fashion style with coconut oil. UMMMMM!!

It's good to know I can use it as a mousturizer, the ever all-purpose coconut oil :)

And, it's a misconception that coconut oil is bad for you!! It's only the processed, hydrogenated, garbage that is bad. Some saturated fat is good for you and this is one of them! Of course, that's as hard to explain to people as celiac disease is! :P

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Hello, My husband has had issues with really bad diarreah for over nine months now. In mid November, he went to the doctor for what they thought was a bad cold, which two weeks later was diagnosed as bronchitis. A week later, in December, I had to take him back to urgent care and from there, to the emergency room cause his vitals were too low. They said he was having an Addisionan crisis and he spent five days in the ICU. Since my husband has Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II (type 1 diabetes, Addison's and Hashimoto's), I fought for a blood test to determine if he had Celiacs. Given the results of the test, he was told to go to a gastro for an endoscopy. It took two months to get his first appointment with the gastro. Still waiting for the endoscopy appointment. He stopped eating gluten in the hospital and has followed a gluten-free diet since. His diarreah continues to be as bad as before he stopped eating gluten. Still has a horrible cough that makes him hack. His energy is so depleted he pretty much goes to work, comes home and goes lie in bed. He is having issues regulating body temperature. He is barely eating (he's lost 20 pounds since mid-December). Body aches. Totally run down. He has been taking more prednisone lately to try to counter the symptoms.  Today, we went to his endo to discuss these things. She said to continue taking increased amount of prednisone (even though I explained that the increased dosage is only allowing him to do the bare minimum). According to the endo, this is all related to Celiacs. I am concerned because I know that both Celiacs and Addison's can have similar symptoms, but don't know if he would still be having these many symptoms (worsening, at that) related to the Celiac's after stopping gluten two months ago. If anyone in this group has a combination of Celiacs and Addison's, could you please share your experience? I am really concerned and am feeling frustrated. His primary care provider and endocrinologist don't seem to consider this serious enough to warrant prompt attention, and we'll see about the gastro.  Thanks.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.
