I just chatted on line with a representative from Cover Girl Cosmetics. She said that none of the eye shadows, eye liners, mascaras, or blushes have gluten added to them. I asked about cc. She said that could see no reason for that.

So, has Cover Girl cleaned up their act? Are they safe to use? I would really like to find some make up at a neighborhood CVS that I can use.

Sounds like their customer service has improved significantly! I was essentially accused of trying to steal their secret recipes for their cosmetics a few years ago because I wanted to know if there were any gluten containing ingredients in the cosmetics I had been using for 15 years. I sent a letter to management and got a CYA reply, so I stopped using them out of principle.

I have one of the blushes that has oats in it. But I did buy it a year or 2 ago (you gottta buy when you like a color) and recently opened it so maybe the new ones don't. I figure the amount of cross contaimination in the tiny amount of oats will be next to nothing. It doesn't go on my lips.

Oh I shall pin them down if I have to when they're teenagers!! DS makes me hug and kiss him a block away from school so his friends don't see, but at home, he's attached to me like glue :rolleyes: DD feels sorry for me so she makes a point to hug and kiss me in front of her friends to make up for her ornery little brother :P

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
