Hi,

I was just curious as to if anyone knows what brands of cosmetics are gluten-free? I've tried a few brands so far and all of them seem to give me some sort of celiac-related problem. For example, when I use Clinique products I get really bad headaches, when I use Estee Lauder products I break out in a rash, and when I use Yves Saint Laurent products I break out in acne. Does anyone know of any brands that are gluten-free? Thank you in advance :)

I'm not a girl, so I have no idea.....my Mom has a Celiac friend and therefore, knows that no eyeliners are gluten-free....I think she has a list of gluten-free makeups, but obviously, my mom didn't need to copy it or anything.......so, like I said, I can offer nothing else.......I feel weird, posting in this thread.... :P

Someone posted that MAC Makeup was gluten free in another forum.

Ok, thanks. I can't believe no eyeliners are gluten-free...I'll have to look into that.

I contacted Lancome and they told me all their products are gluten free but of course they're not responsible for any cross contamination of their products. I use them all the time. I also use eyeliner, both Elizabeth Arden and Estee Lauder. I have a printout Estee Lauder sent me that lists all their gluten containing ingredients and check with the eyeliner and none were there. They said they list everything and they own MAC and Bobbi Brown and Clinique. Of course their liquid make up used wheat but not the eyeliner, loose powder or blush. You need to contact manufacturers and put all the information in a notebook. After a few months you'll start to memorize all of them. ;) Good luck!

      Delayed reaction

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @RDB7918393! For some folks, gluten reactions are delayed but I would not think symptoms delayed  of a week or more out would be due to a gluten reaction. Twenty four hours or so but not 7-14 days. I would suspect something else is going on. Eating out is well-known to be the number one sabotaging activity of the gluten-free life style.

      Delayed reaction

      By RDB7918393 · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac about 10 months ago after having on and off morning stomach cramping and loose stool that only occurred like once a month. So I don’t get immediate reactions…more if build up reactions. I do my best to be gluten free but hard when on vacation and going to restaurants to fully trust cross contamination problems. I find that if I’m cross contaminated, I don’t get a reaction til about a week or two after. The reaction is stomach cramping morning only with flaky stool. Does anyone else have such a delayed reaction like a week or two after being glutened? Or should I go for more testing to see what’s going on.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!
