I miss you, in a lot of ways I cannot explain, in a lot of ways you wouldn't understand.

You caused the unholy war between my head and my heart.

I loved you enough to let you go, but that doesn’t mean this is easy for me. It doesn’t mean my heart isn’t broken.

“Omg look at this fucking shit, gluten free mascara, ahaha, people need to be fucking stopped.”

Yes, I’m sure the person with a wheat allergy wanting to avoid putting wheat containing things near their eyeballs is truly the reason society is failing.

[thebibliosphere]

Also if anyone does actually need gluten free mascara, Zuzu Luxe is one of the best I’ve been able to find. Hardly clumps and doesn’t flake off like a lot of the others. Their other products can be a little hit or miss texture wise, but the mascara is great.

[ritualistic-raven]

I once saw a person point out that common allergens are in so many things, and it even has to do with “this facility uses it in another product but it’s still the same facility” and I stopped laughing. And then I felt bad. I was ignorant, but I didn’t think about like. My corn tortillas better not have gluten! They’re corn! And then I realized….same facility. Airborne particulates. Someone working on one line, accidentally dropping particulates in another line just by walking past.

Cause there are people who are *that* sensitive. And they deserve to be protected and have safe products.

[thebibliosphere]

I specifically do not take issue with people just not knowing things. Cause why the heck would anyone know things like that unless they ever had to? Why would you know wheat is a common ingredient in things like mascara or shampoo? I sure as shit didn’t till I started to piece together why my body went into meltdown every time I washed my hair.

What does get to me is how inherently shitty some people are about it. Like why is the first go to for things like this mockery? Why? I mean I know the answer is “society is inherently abelist even if people don’t realize they are doing it” but I’m still allowed to be frustrated by it. (It’s the same with infomercials. Those products are not lazy or worthless, they are designed for people with disabilities!)

And I know this seems like such an over reaction to something like someone in Walgreens being shitty over gluten free mascara haha. But it’s so much more than that. So much of my daily life is emotional and mental labor just trying to spoon feed people how not to be unthinkingly mean all the time. And it’s not like I can ever stop because this is my life. I am living in a world not designed or meant to include me, so constant emotional and mental labor is required to justify both myself and the things that make my life easier. And I wish people would just think with a little more kindness sometimes. That’s all.

Also people have a weird desire to catch you “lying” about an allergy? There’s a preservative used in a lot of artificial caramels that I’m allergic to, and my aunt used to get so mad because she was convinced my mom was lying about it. Once when I was a toddler she offered me a bowl of ice cream with this really smug look on her face while I ate it—a look that quickly died once I started projectile vomiting all over her brand new couch. Yup she hid the caramel in the ice cream.

Feeling miserably sick for a while aside, the look on my aunt’s face at the state of her couch was rewarding

HGSKL ALL THE TIME, PEOPLE DO THIS ALL THE TIME AND IT IS NOT OKAY

[callmeishamael]

wait i’m sorry if this is a dumb question but why in the fuck is there gluten in mascara?

[thebibliosphere]

Wheat and wheat by products are common thickening ingredients in a lot of cosmetic products, but it is also used for other properties in cosmetics too. Hydrolyzed wheat protein for example, is often found in anti-ageing creams and some liquid face soaps because supposedly it can help to smooth out the appearance of wrinkles and refine skin texture. (you’ll sometimes see it listed as wheatgrass or wheatgerm too) So it’s not that unusual to find it in beauty products. Also even if it’s not being used directly in the product, if the product is made in a location that does use wheat for other things (like a face soap) there’s a chance of cross contamination somewhere along the production line. Which is why gluten free certified facilities are a thing for both food and non-food products. To avoid cross contamination.

For some people with celiac and gluten issues, topical application is not a problem. But in others who are more sensitive or have a straight up wheat allergy, it can appear as atopic dermatitis or present as lesions like dermatitis herpetiformis. Or it can be a more severe reaction like anaphylaxis. It all depends on the individual, and those of us with compromised immune systems (such as having an auto-immune disease like celiac disease) are at higher risk of either having or developing those kind of reactions through exposure.

So that’s why :) And why it’s important that things like soaps, shampoos and make up brands etc list whether they are gluten free or not. Although it’s important to note that just because some products are gluten free, that does not make them wheat free, so if your concern is wheat allergy, gluten free brands are a safer bet for you, but it’s also still a good idea to thoroughly check the ingredients.
