Glutened By Nailpolish

Believe it or not.. nailpolish was the culprit.

I have a not very good habit of trying to fix accidentally smudged spots on my nails by licking them.. As much as this is embarrassing to admit I thought I'd share it anyway as a warning.

Which products do you use which you know are gluten free? I'm specially curious in terms of lip gloss.. haven't dared to put any since I started.

I use Blistex Medicated Lip Balm (in the blue-green tube) and have no problem with it. I know others use Chap Stick. There are obviously more but I have no experience with them.

I use Burt's Bees for lip gloss/lip stick.

Instead of lipgloss I just use plain old vaseline. I react to chapstick as does my boyfriend. There are some cosmetic lines that are completely gluten free, and several that are partially gluten free. I suggest you use the Search engine.

For myself I have to be particularly careful since I am also salicylate sensitive, so most dyes are out.

So more than likely you can thank your lucky stars you aren't as sensitive to colorants as I am and are instead just needing things that are gluten free. At least now I know why I was never very comfortable with cosmetics. As an artist i have to use nitrile or vinyl cotton flocked gloves when I paint and be careful not to fling it everywhere. LOL!

I'm not big on make-up except for lipgloss and lipstick -- it has always been my one splurge. I pitched everything upon my diagnosis and went without until I found Red Apple Lipstick. I have been using their stuff with no problem. They are gluten free, paraben free, a bunch of other stuff free! I was not keen on ordering lipstick online since I've always liked to see it in the past but I gave it a try and I haven't been sorry. I really love the stuff. They've also recently introduced a balm that is very nice -- I bought three and have one at home and one in my purse and a backup because I just know I'm going to loose the one in my purse (it has happened in the past!) I've also used the Neutrogena Naturals lipbalm with no problems.

Both Burt's bees and Chap Stick brands may be cross contaminated, don't use them. However the whole Soft lips brand is gluten free, their whole factory is gluten free.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By Maura Gissen · Posted

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's.  Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      By Maura Gissen · Posted

      Hi! I have been diagnosed with celiacs and hashimotos for about 1.5 years. I have been on a gluten-free diet since then, and was on a strictly AIP diet for about 6 months a while back. I'm now pregnant, making food eliminations really hard. However, even with cutting out gluten and cross-reactive foods like corn, dairy, oats and yeast, I'm still having flare ups and I cannot pinpoint the foods (some weeks I am fine, others not so much). My symptoms are less digestive and more dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of being "sick." Can anyone relate? Does anyone have guidance? I feel really stuck and frustrated.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?
