Quote: the only cosmetics to be concerned about? Or do you have to look into foundations, blusher, eyeshadow, mascara, etc.
Sorry if I'm overwhelming you today. Don't feel obligated to post back. Really, I know I can keep asking question after question. Oh Beth, I don't have all the answers, in fact no one does when it comes to IBS and/or CD...there is still so much research that needs to be done, in both areas. I would venture to say that because IBS affects more people there is probably more known about it than CD and gluten intolerance. For me personally, I don't get concerned about the cosmetics. I only make sure I use a GF toothpaste, that being Crest or Tom's. I don't worry about soaps and shampoo either. BUT, there are so many that are super sensitive that they DO have to worry about these things or they don't feel good at all, and for them I mean getting the same symptoms as an IBS attack. So you really have to decide for yourself just how GF you are going to be, and if you want to go as GF as is humanly possible then yes, you do need to be concerned about all this. Kandee
