Bee balm lipbalm not gluten free


Grace Good

Recommended Posts

Grace Good Newbie

I feel super ill from putting in the lip balm. It says their gluten free but I've found a lot of manufacturers do that. 

Can companies actually be honest if they aren't entirely sure

Welcome to the fourum, @Grace Good!

I cannot find any claims in the Amazon advertising for this company's products to the effect of it being gluten free. Yet, you state in your post that "it says their gluten free". What is "it"? Is there such a statement on the packaging?

If you mean this product:

It lists the ingredients below, and the only one that could have gluten would be the Vitamin E, and unfortunately their website does not indicate that it is gluten-free:

Ingredients

Beeswax - creates a protective barrier, retains moisture, and contains anti-inflammatory properties;

Propolis extract - protects skin from environmental stressors, soothes and promotes healthy skin cell regeneration;

Vitamin E (Tocopherol)- has strong antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals, moisturizing the skin, and effectively improving skin aging;


Other: liquid paraffin, mineral fat, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene copolymer, Essence, Jojoba oil, CI15985, Honey Extract

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or two everywhere he goes. I would go see an allergist as soon as possible as suggested.
