I've been using Clinique Long Lasting Lipstick in Bamboo Pink for many years. It's a great color for me. But I just found out it has gluten in it!! The last time I wore it, I noticed that it made my lips a bit chapped. So I think I was reacting to it and should stop using it :(

Does anyone else wear that color, and have you found a good substitute for it? I just don't have the energy to start lipstick shopping. I'm hoping that someone else on this forum has figured this out.

Thank you!

I've never used that shade but comparing the color and shine of it, I'd say you ought to try "Hue" or "Pervette" by MAC. However I can't see any ingredient lists on their site. I do know that the two shades I have of theirs are gluten free and safe, I don't know about ALL their products though.

Yikes! I remember when my favorite lipstick color was discontinued...so disappointing. I've recently found Red Apple Lipstick which is gluten free (and paraben free and a bunch of other stuff free too!) I was leery about buying lipstick online but I did and I love it. The colors are gorgeous and the glosses and lipsticks I've tried have worn really well. Their customer service is awesome (my first order actually went AWOL and they sent out another package right away, no questions asked) and they have free regular shipping. I hear they are thinking of expanding to all sorts of make-up if they can come up with formulations that fit their requirements and are good quality. I will so buy it if they make more types of make-up. Just do a search for 'red apple lipstick' and the site will pop up.

Baagh! That's my favorite lipstick, now I have to toss it (I only wear lipstick every once in a while and haven't since I went gluten-free.) Glad you posted. Do post again if you come across a good substitute, please. :)

Well, I bought some colors of gluten-free lipstick from Ecco Bella online. When they get here, I will let you ladies know which one seems to be equivalent to Bamboo Pink by Clinique. There are also some colors by Afterglow that look equivalent, but their lipsticks cost twice as much as Ecco Bella's. I might buy one or two eventually to see how they compare.

For the moment, I got a couple of drugstore lip glosses from a gluten-free list I'd found online....Neutrogena Moisture(something) ...I don't have it in front of me at the moment.

The continuing saga of gluten-free lipsticks...

I got my Ecco Bella lipsticks today. The color Napa Grape is very close to Bamboo Pink. However, I find the lipstick to feel very heavy and chalky on my lips, not nice and light the way the Clinque lipstick was. Also, it is very very matte, so I have to put some gloss over it, or it looks chalky. I also got their Vitamin E Lip Smoother in Rhubarb, and that is a little lighter and smoother, and the color is similar to Bamboo Pink. I like that one better. It doesn't feel as heavy on the lips.

I will buy some Afterglow lipsticks and see how they fare.

The Neutrogena Lip Gloss which is VERY close to the Bamboo Pink color is MoistureShine Gloss in Vita Plum #230. Open Original Shared Link

I might just also write to Clinique and beg them to help me find a gluten-free lipstick in their brand that is close to Bamboo Pink. I have never found their lipsticks to feel heavy or icky. It really sucks to have to give up my favorite!

One thing is for sure....since not using a lipstick that contains gluten, my lips are not chapped at all anymore. I had no idea previously. It really amazes me.

When I researched Clinique ingredients, I found that only the daily moisturizer did not contain gluten, dairy or soy ingredients (3 of my dx'd allergies). So I continued their moisturizer but switched to Revlon (which was free of my allergens) for all my lipstick, and switched to Almay for other makeup.

      Getting sick much more often

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello there! @Jordan Carlson , you said "Now the last 3 ish years I have been sick more than I ever have been in my life. Could it be my immune system was so tired/fatigued prior to diagnosis that it just wouldnt turn on anymore? And now that my stress and inflammation is down its functioning stronger?" I think you may have that backwards.  Your immune system was running in high gear with undiagnosed Celiac Disease, and therefore fighting infections like colds and viruses before you had any symptoms.  Now that you've gone gluten free, your immune system may be depressed and not able to mount a strong immune response to colds and viruses because it is running low in...

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional...

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour...
