Problems With Makeup For Eyes

I have had problems with my eyes for years. But my question to you is.. while wearing eye makeup ie...mascara and eyeliner, my eyes water, itch and then peel. would any of you consider this to be a "product" or reaction to gluten in my makeup? If so, any suggestions on a new makeup line to use? Remember that I am on a very limited budget and am also recently dx'd. My antibodies test was neg. but doctor said there was too much of a change in my appearance and general health not to be Celiac with just the elimination of Gluten from my diet. I have been gluten-free since Dec 1, 2010. This was after 11 years of pain and suffering and beind dx'd with everything under the sun. Including being told by a dermatologist that I took too many baths, and was also allergic to my spring fed well water that contains no addatives. So now I will be making an appt to speak with my primary care physician to remove all of the non-relavant dx's from my records. I am a disabled veteran so this should be a wonderful journey of red tape to accomplish. lol I welcome any and all comments on this and any other helpful advise. I also would like to add that the entire household has gone gluten-free to aid me with my health. Everyone seems to enjoy the changes in most everything edible with the exception of the store bought gluten-free bread...

I have no idea about whether it's a reaction - but because my daughter continues to hurt after eliminating gluten foods, we've cut out all gluten that comes in contact with her skin, including make-up (both hers and mine). Bonne Belle (spelling?) is gluten free and no cross-contamination according to the company when I called in December 2010. I can't find blush but they have a fairly decent selection of eye shadow kits (although they all seem to be pretty glittery) and I like the lip gloss and mascara. The only thing not safe is the lip smackers lip balm, all other lip smackers are safe. I know it's targeted towards teens (it appears that way anyway), but it's the cheapest I've found without getting into the gluten free mineral makeup that I'd have to order. Maybe that helps a little? Good luck.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
