Gluten Derived Cosmetics Ingredients

Does anyone have a list of ingredients to look out for in cosmetics?

I just figured out that I've been reacting to my lip gloss and I'm going to cleanse my cabinet of all things gluten related just to be ultra sure.

Thanks!!!

Don't forget to add tocopherols to the "Wheat" list. I like this statement from the Afterglow Cosmetics:

"Your cosmetics contain Vitamin E. I thought that Vitamin E (tocopherol) was primarily sourced from wheat? Yes, most Vitamin E found in cosmetics is derived from wheat sources and contains gluten. Many manufacturers may not even know what their Vitamin E actually comes from. Afterglow Cosmetics sources only gluten free ingredients and uses Vitamin E (tocopherol) derived from organic cotton seed oil and organic olive oil. "

Aveda's tocopherols are from soybeans. I've contacted another company, DHC, and they won't give me a straight answer, stating that their product's components are 'proprietary'. Guess I'm staying away from their tocopherol-containing products!

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
