I am pretty confident that my make-up is causing me problems. What do other super sensitives use for make-up or do you just go without?

Also, what do you use for chapped lips? I am using plain old vaseline but i'd like something else.

I've been mainly going without for make-up. I do use some occasionally, and I haven't noticed problems, but that is with only very limited use. For chapped lips I use Softlips organic. To test if it could bother me, I used it a whole bunch of times one day and the next, when I would usually experience symptoms, I didn't. They have a slightly tinted version too which I sometimes wear for "make-up".

What kind has been bothering you?

I use Everyday Minerals foundation, Nars blush, Loreal Million Lashes Mascara, Smashbox eye shadows, and either Afterglow or Burts Bees lip products.

When I was searching on here for shampoo and other cosmetics information, one thread had this:

afterglow cosmetics (they are after all made by a celiac...)

I have a text document for making notes of various things when I run across it, so I can have it handy when I'm making up a shopping list.

Thanks for the info everyone. I am using Cover Girl clean makeup for sensitive skin and Maybelline shine free loose powder. Cover Girl says the foundation is gluten free. I can't get any answers out of Maybelline. I'll look into your suggestions..Thanks

I am headed that way! I can't get an honest answer out of any of these companies. It's just not worth it to me. I will take health over beauty any day!

When I was a teenager (20+ years ago) I really thought I was going to get into the whole make up thing (despite no sisters/mum who was into it.. no surprise in hindsight). But it was just so irritating on my skin (the ONLY time I had " and in hindsight was like laundry powders, bread, pasta and so many other things I tended to avoid.

I would love to feel like I could trust something to put on my skin but after so long but I just don't know if I ever will. It never bothered me in the past ... just "me" but now knowing what it is all about - it kinda makes me sad .. and mad. I wonder how many women out there are suffering because of all these products and ingredients that our skin just isn't meant to have.

diandliam,

I've alays had the same problems and not been able to use make up until recently, I'm in AUS also.

I use Inika for makeup. I have never had problems with any of their products. Trilogy make good skincare products that don't both me either (which is rare), the only product of theirs that contains gluten is their hand cream.

It makes me mad too. The thing that is the worst is that none of the companies can tell you exactly whats in it AND, do I really want a bunch of chemicals all over my face every day? I would bet that there are a ton of women in our situation who can't wear make-up. It is sad.

I hear ya on the laundry detergents and everything. I have to use unscented Cheer or I will break out all over. Unscented Dove soap in the shower etc. Sometimes I would like something just a little girly and scented. :angry::huh:

I have ordered from Natural Solutions for years. She does a great job sourcing beauty products for sensitives. I ordered from her before I knew I had a problem with gluten.

I use the Beautywise products, Earth's Beauty, as well as bare minerals (not ordered from her). I have NOT researched what I have to screen for gluten but so far no problems. I don't, however, wear cosmetics very often right now so who knows.

She generally lists product ingredients as well as interesting tidbits about product performance and use. She also lists gluten-free and other allergies is she knows them.

She does sell samples at a very reasonable price so it is easy to sample without making a huge financial commitment.

Just a note - she carries Devita which is FABULOUS. But, they advertise "gluten sensitive safe" products which contain oats and degerminated wheat germ oil. I used some of those products for years, then 2 months post gluten-free I woke up with swollen eyes. Stopped using them and it went away. So, unfortunately I don't use Devita anymore. But oh they work sooooo well.

The only product I use on my face daily is chapstick, I use Yes To Carrots and love it.

On the very occasional occasion that I do wear makeup I use Neutrogena mineral sheers powder foundation and Maybelline Great Lash mascara, haven't noticed any problems.

There's a lot of options online if you google gluten free makeup but it's quite pricey.

I use Dr. Woods Shea Vision Lavender Castile soap and it smells good and is very gentle. I've also used Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castile soap and really like it too, this is actually what I use to make my foaming hand soap...lavender is naturally antibacterial and the castile soap doesn't dry your hands out like most will. And it smells good! :)

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?
