I e-mailed both these make up companies in hopes that they had make up i can wear....neutrogena typed this:

Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies fully comply with all regulations on ingredients in the countries in which our products are sold. Wherever regulatory authorities have set limits on certain ingredients, our product formulations either meet those limits or contain a lesser amount of the regulated ingredient. We are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and safety that have been our hallmark for generations of consumers.

Although Gluten was not added to these products, we cannot guarantee that cross contamination with Gluten did not occur in the manufacturing process. In addition, some of the ingredients in the product may have been purchased by us from outside distributors and we cannot say with absolute certainty that cross contamination did not occur at their facilities. We recommend that you speak with your treating physician if you are concerned that with your self particular sensitivity, the product's listed ingredients may trigger an allergic reaction.

Also the Oil Free Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin does contain gluten.We hope this information will be helpful to you.

Boy am I glad that I stopped using that moisturizer and switched to cetaphil...i hope that one really is gluten free.....

I've heard a lot of you say neutrogena seemed to be okay though so i'm confused....i'm at a complete loss about make up. And I don't want to use mineral make up which the majority of you seem to use so i'm confused *sighs*

Here is the response from smashbox regarding some products i was considering...

Thank you for taking the time to contact Smashbox, a brand of the Estee Lauder Companies.

For the benefit of our gluten-sensitive consumers who may have cross-sensitivities, Smashbox takes the extra precaution of including soy, corn and rice in our research in addition to wheat, oat, barley and rye derivatives.

In addressing your concern about gluten, we would like to explain that a vast number of raw materials from many different suppliers and sources are used in the manufacture of Estee Lauder Companies' products. It is therefore not possible for us to fully guarantee that our products are completely free of ingredients that may elicit an allergic response in highly sensitive individuals who react to gluten. For example, it is possible that small amounts of a wheat sourced ingredient may remain on shared manufacturing equipment even after a thorough cleaning. We therefore recommend that you discuss this with your physician, because consumer safety is of utmost concern to us.

Below are the results of your gluten ingredient inquiry:

Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation SPF 10 - contains ingredients derived from Soy and Corn

High Definition Healthy FX Foundation - contains ingredients derived from Soy and Corn

Be Legendary - contains Wheat bran, Soy and Corn derived ingredients

Limitless Waterproof Liquid Liner Pen - alcohol may be derived from various grains

Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact Smashbox. I sincerely hope I was able to be of assistance. Please know that your satisfaction and business is very important to us. We hope you will continue to look to Smashbox for your essential beauty needs.

Sincerely,

Gloria Chang

Consumer Care Representative

Neutrogena Naturals skin care is gluten-free.

I read that e.l.f. Is gluten-free ingredients but the equipment may be cc'd. Supposedly available at Target.

I use lots of mineral makeup so it's easier but I struggle with sourcing all of it online.

I think Cetaphil states their gluten-free status online.

Do you know if neutrogena Naturals contains soy by chance?

They tell you more than most. And they do say gluten-free on the website. You'll have to ask about the soy - but last I checked soy was a legume.

You'd be surprised how people have mixed that up before honestly. But they really SHOULD be more specific...let's say someone was allergic to corn..would be nice if they could know that you know? Stuff like that..

Actually, I wouldn't...since half the population can't correctly identify produce at the grocery store.

They are better than most mainstream cosmetics companies on this brand. Origins is very good at using "regular" names on labels.

Beans and peas are also legumes, but people call them vegetables :P I bet people would find it weird to find out there were legumes in their cosmetics if that was the way they referred to soy..:D

Have you looked at the Kiss My Face line for moisturizers? This one says gluten free and I don't see soy listed unless it is hidden in one of those other words!

According to the Neutrogena website, their entire Naturals line is gluten free.

For make up, NARS (you can find it at Sephora) is gluten free. They have a statement on their website that their entire line is (wheat) gluten free, but I think one or two of their products, it says, contain corn gluten.

I talked to a make up company I found that i used for stage makeup and what not. They also have HD makeup. Well they said their products contain no gluten or soy and that there is no need to a high quality company to contain those ingredients. When I asked about cross contamination they said "They guys might eat a sandwich in the break room

I tried e-mailing neutrogena again about soy and got word for word the same response i got before about gluten. They totally ignored my soy inquiry. And stated in the e-mail they couldn't guarantee it wasn't gluten free.

I just checked the ingredient list for Neutrogena's Oil-Free Moisturiser for Sensitive Skin. Can anyone tell me what the gluten-containing ingredient is? I've been using this product because it looked OK. (I'm a silent celiac so don't show obvious symptoms).

Water, Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Cyclomethicone, Soybean (Glycine Soja) Sterols, Isopropyl Isostearate, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG, 10 Soy Sterol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Carbomer, Tetrasodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Diazolidinyl Urea, Ethylparaben, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, why can't companies use plain english for allergens! :angry:

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
