Are There Gremlins Lingering In Your House?
Below is a list of items that are not food but still may contain gluten, as well as brands that offer gluten-free options. Please do your own research, because formulas do change, and I have not personally tested a majority of these. Our skin is the largest organ of the body, and the things we put on it can have a great effect on our health. I strongly encourage purchasing products that are organic and have the least amount of ingredients possible.

Makeup, such as lipstick, powders, and foundations, may contain ingredients that are derived from wheat and barley extracts.
