Does anyone know if Vaselne or any brand of Petroleum Jelly is gluten free? If not, what is the ingredient that contains gluten? Thanks! I use it on my lips.

It's fine, unless you get breadcrumbs in it LOL!

Burt's Beeswax is good, too.

It should be no cause for concern unless someone dropped gluten crumbs in it. :)

If you share it, I would suggest that you get your own.

Remember that a lot of personal care products - shampoo, conditioner, other hair products, cosmetics, nail stuff, lotions, etc. have gluten in them. So keep that in mind if you share it.

This winter, after I get out of the shower I slather Vaseline all over - it's sooooo dry here. I've also been using the Burt's Beeswax carrot "lotion" - I think the other carrot cream has wheat germ in it, so be careful.

It's all healed up my chapped hand and back...

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By Farmerswife · Posted

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bernade! There are a couple of possibilities here what is causing your up and down experience since being diagnosed with celiac disease and beginning the gluten free journey. One is that you are not yet consistent in avoiding gluten. It is easy to avoid major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta but to arrive at a completely gluten free state on a consistent basis is much harder and involves a real learning curve. Gluten is found in some many food products that you would never expect to find it in. Just a couple of examples: soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually). Gluten can be in medications, pills and supplements as a filler. And if you are still eating out at restaurants you are very likely getting "glutened" by cross contamination even when you have ordered foods that are naturally gluten free. Another is that you have other food intolerances in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community and the most common culprits are dairy, oats, soy, eggs and corn. Some foods have proteins that resemble gluten closely enough so as to cause a celiac reaction for some celiacs.
