Stress Free Make-up for people with allergies or sensitivities!

As a cheer mom, I have struggled with the amount of make-up my eight year old has to wear during cheer competitions, will it affect her sensitive skin?  The debate continues to go on, will people have allergy reactions to topical products?  Regardless of what the data and reports say, I feel it has to be considered on an individual bases.  Each of us is different.  How we react to the make-up we wear will be different too.  I know many people who have lost eyelashes, broke out in rashes, and had other side effects from the make-up they apply.  But, I can take the worry away by using all natural make-up products.   Why add stress and worry to our life?  Finding great make-up products that are also Natural and gluten free help to take the stress away.

What is my stress free make-up?

New Years!

Well, we have almost made it to a new year!  I hope everyone had a safe and gluten free holiday!
I am very thankful for all the time I was able to spend with friends and family.  I am also extremely thankful for the break away from work.  It is such a joy to be able to have days to just be with the family and not worry about other obligations.  Around the holiday, I also enjoy memories of lost loved ones.  If you have lost someone close to you then, you understand how each wonderful event in your life is now bittersweet.  Events are always a joyous occasion that also have a sadness to them because you wish that your loved one was with you.  And, you often are filled with memories of what that lost loved one would have brought to that occasion.
As the new year approaches, I hope for the usual...good health for the family.  But, I also hope that I can continue to provide a resource for those individuals who struggle with the need to have specialized products.  My partner and I, at No Gluten Natural Girl Products, have dedicated ourselves to our small company.  We seek to provide quality products at lower costs.  But, more importantly we seek to provided Gluten free and natural products.  We are always working hard to help out our costumers with whatever personal needs they may have.  We do our best to offer not only gluten free products but also Vegan friendly products and allergy free products.  It is very important to us that the products we offer are tried and true.  So, as the new year approaches I wish everyone a healthy and happy new year and I hope that No Gluten Natural Girl Products can continue to help make people's lives a little healthier and happier!

Going Gluten Free, What Does That Mean?

If you have Celiac Disease, Going Gluten-Free is essential to your health.  

But, being on a gluten free diet is not one of the healthier diets out there.

In addition to this, a gluten free diet is not easy to follow.  

For some people, a gluten free diet can have nutritional drawbacks.  

So, who really needs to go on a gluten-free diet?  

People with celiac disease, an autoimmune disease in which an individual can not tolerate

gluten (a protein in wheat, rye, and barley).  Also, people with a gluten sensitivity need to go

on this diet too.

Why do these people need to go on this diet?

Well, people with celiac disease who eat gluten will damage the lining of their small intestine.

Eating gluten causes the lining of the small intestine to become inflamed and damaged, if you

have celiac disease.  Some of the symptoms that individuals with celiacs may suffer are diarrhea,

upset stomach, bloating, and abdominal pain.  In some cases, people with severe celiac disease 

have other symptoms such as: skin rashes, loss of hair, and itchy skin.

How do you know if you have Celiac disease?

Celiac disease is often misdiagnosed for years.  It can often be mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome.

Often, individuals will suffer from chronic poor heath.  While these individuals are being misdiagnosed,

their lining of their small intestine is being damaged.  This often causes other problems.  Many times the

lining will not allow for certain necessary things to be absorbed into the system (for example: poor calcium absorption).  Your doctor can do a blood test and/or an intestinal biopsy that will show damage to the villi, to find out if you have Celiac disease.  Doctors will need to rely on the patients past experiences and side effects to gluten to say weather or not the patient has a gluten sensitivity. 

What has gluten in it?

Gluten shows up in lots of things.  The most obvious is breads and pastas.  But, it can be found in 

other things such as crackers, cookies, cold cut meats, salad dressings, ketchups, soy, beer, licorice, lip stick, toothpaste, lotions, shampoos, bubble wrap, and glue (to name a few).

The gluten debate.

Many people say that if you have Celiac disease you only have to worry about gluten in the items

that you put into your body, not onto it.  However, many individuals who have a severe reaction to 

gluten have reported that this is not so.  There is a large population of celia patients that report needing 

to go 100% gluten free in their life.  This includes what goes on their bodies.  Some patients reported hair loss, rashes, and skin itching/irritations.   After using gluten free products, these individuals reported that 

their hair grew back, skin cleared up, and itching stopped.  The debate seems to continue, so the best

answer is to do what works for you.

Best Gluten Lifestyle Tips:

*Watch for hidden gluten in foods.

*Know that foods can be cross contaminated if they are manufactured in a facility that makes 

  other items that contain gluten.

*Know that gluten free foods often try to "mimic" the gluten counterparts and this causes these 

  gluten free items to be high in carbohydrates, fat, and sodium.  They also lack the fiber and/or 

  protein that you need.  

*Look for products that are certified as being uncontaminated and gluten-free.  

*Play it safe and go natural.  Eat more fruits and vegetables (many try the raw diet).

*Know what you are putting in your body and on your body. 

*Stay away from frozen and processed foods (if you use them check the additives that most likely 

  will contain gluten).

*When going out to eat, don't be shy, speak up.

*Learn to read labels and know the hidden culprits (such as malt and hydrolyzed vegetable protein,

  to name a few). 

*Watch items that contain oats.

***Find small reliable companies that will help you on your journey. 

      Such as, No Gluten Natural Girl Products, LLC is a small company that has products for women,   

      men, and children.  They will help you answer any questions that you may have and guide you to

      where you need to go, if they don't have the item you need. Check them out at:

Gluten Free and Thankful!

Does your child need to wear make-up?

Do you have a child who participates in activities that require them to wear make-up?  This can be difficult for a parent to deal with.  We want our children to remain looking natural and stay looking their age.  Yet, they still are required to wear make-up.  If your child is an actress/actor, dancer, cheerleader, or model they may be required to wear make-up. Well, you can give them a light and natural look with make-up that is gluten free, vegan, natural, and safe.  Check it out these pictures of my daughter doing activities that require her to wear make-up.  She is wearing gluten free and natural make-up from our site,  www.NoGlutenNaturalGirlProducts.com:

Gluten Free Travel

Summer vacations can become less relaxing when you have to worry about gluten sensitivities.  Vacations almost always equal eating out!  As we all know, eating out is not easy when you have to stay gluten free.  It is hard enough to find a place to go eat when you are familiar with the restaurants in your area. But, what do you do when you are NOT familiar with the area.   What do you do when you are surrounded with food courts and stands? In the summer, evan a simple day trip to the ball park, an amusement park, or fair can become stressful.

Here are some places that provide gluten free food items:
Disney
Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells
Sea World

A routine you need to get in is to call ahead.  Try to call ahead anywhere you are able to and tell them about your allergy.  Ask them what they have available.  Ask questions to help you prevent eating foods that may have been cross contaminated.  Also, if you are able, get use to packing a cooler with your favorite gluten free foods.  If all else fails you can take a break from your activities and have a fast picnic.

I would love to hear some great safe - gluten free summer trips that you have taken!
Happy Summer and don't forget to pack your gluten free sun screen, hair care, and mouth care items (visit www.all-gluten-free.com to find some great gluten free items to take on your next trip).

Skin is the LARGEST organ in the body....what you put on it will be absorbed!

The long term debate....is what we put onto our skin going to effect us?  Here is my opinion on this topic.  I am not a doctor, this is just my view on this topic.

Skin is the largest organ of the human body!  So, why wouldn't you want to be attentive to the ingredients of the the items you place on your skin?  This goes for everything that you place on your skin: make-up, lotions, soaps, antiperspirants, perfumes, hair care, sun care, insect repellent, and even medical creams.  If you are placing something on your skin, the largest organ of your body, why wouldn't you want to be cognitive of what ingredients will enter into your body.

Let's think about this for a minute. There are LOTS of drugs that come in a "patch" form.  How do they work?  You place a patch on your skin and then it is absorbed, through your skin.  They are proven to work by scientists and approved by the medical industry.  So, people can sit and tell me that a patch that I place on my skin will work but that the make-up that sits on my face, the deodorant I apply (that lasts all day), the cream that I spread on my legs...those items won't be absorbed?  It can't be both.  Why did scientists develop the "patch" systems?  Because they know that the skin is an active organ that they can use.  They know that it will absorb the medications. So, right there....you should know that your skin can and will absorb what is placed onto it.

If you do a little research, you will find that there are many studies that have been done that have found that our bodies do absorb topical products placed on the skin or that it comes into contact with. Many studies claim that 60% of these topical products are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.  

Something to think about the next time you reach for something that you will be placing on your skin.  And, did you know that some of the ingredients in some sunscreen brands are also the same ingredients listed as possible links to cancer?  That is ironic!  Hey, I think I will error on the safe side and pick natural products, with ingredients that are natural and safe.  But, you decide for yourself.  

Celiac kids and summer camp?

Kids with Celiac still want to be kids!  But what about summer camp?  Just thinking about it makes my head spin.  But, did you know that there is a camp made special for kids that have Celiac?  This years camp is coming up soon.  It is on July 10-15 and registration is still open.  It coast less then $500 but the downfall is that the only location is in Texas.  But, what a great worry free summer idea!  If you have a child with celiacs you should stop by and check it out at:
http://www.dallasrock.org/gge.htm

If you know of any great ideas for celiac kids this summer please share them with us.
Thanks and happy summer!

Did you know that most shampoo contains forms of wheat protein, oats, or fragrances.  And, most of the fragrances aren't even required to be disclosed because it is a "trade secret".  If you call the company of the brand of shampoo you buy they will often tell you that they can not guarantee the fragrances are gluten free.

Gluten in toothpaste!?!?!?!

Many people need to worry about gluten free toothpaste. I have heard many people tell me that their doctors even recommended it. I have found a great link and video that talks about the hidden sources of gluten.  Check out this link:http://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-free-society-blog/avoiding-cross-contamination-and-hidden-gluten/ 
If you watch to the end (at around the 8 min 30 sec mark), the doctor talks about the hidden gluten in toothpaste and what gluten in tooth paste CAN do to you. It is a great video from a great source - "the gluten free society" 
I buy my gluten free toothpaste from No Gluten Natural Girl Products!  A gluten free mouth is a happy mouth for me!

Is Gluten free just about food?

Is gluten free just about what food you eat?  No way!
Nothing is just about what we put into our mouths. I have a daughter who has an allergy to fish and shell fish.  She can't simply not eat fish, she also has to be aware of what foods were cooked in the same oil as fish.  She can't sit at a table that is not cleaned well, if someone before her ate fish.  She can not go into a Red Lobster or any other fish restaurant without getting sick.  She can not use ANY product that has fish oil in it.  For her it is about eating, touching, breathing, and the use of products.  Think about this for a minute.  This is the same for a peanut allergy.  Some kids can't be in the same room as peanuts.  Why would we think that gluten is any different?  Depending on your severity level, gluten can effect you if you breath it in in large amounts (such as going into a bakery).  The products you use need to be gluten free too!  Don't believe this....take the gluten free challenge.  If you need to be "gluten free" then try using only gluten free products for one month.  And, let us know how it changed your gluten free life.  Need ideas on where to buy some great gluten free products (laundry detergent, make-up, soap, and more) then stop by www.All-Gluten-Free.com
