Chap Stick

I just got off the phone with wyeth company, the makers of chapstick. They informed me that while they do not add gluten to their products, they cannot confirm that the products are gluten free.

Also, their Peppermint flavored chap stick (which I had been using!!) has no conclusive information either way (Ugh!)

Anyone know of any gluten-free lip balm?

I use Badger Balm products, which are gluten-free. I love their lip balm; in fact, it's the best I've ever used. I order it from Drugstore.com or get it at some local health food stores (but often can't find it there). Some Whole Foods carry their products, too.

I use Badger Balm, too and love it! It goes on much smoother than Chapstick--and it comes in flavors. (as well as plain)

They use no gluten in their facility--I called and spoke with a woman there. She said they had gotten so many calls about gluten that she went to the chemist.

I get mine at Wegman's, and of course Wild Oats and Whole Foods should have it. :)

I'm also pretty sure I've seen it at The Vitamin Shoppe?

I have to say I just thought about you 5 minutes ago when my coworker said I needed to get some more good popcorn. I turned around to see her holding the Wegmans box I had bought 1 week ago, since it was gluten free. My coworkers tore through that box and the Jiffy-pop is still sitting there. Have you been to your store recently?

I use Burt's Bees and love it. It is all natural and doesn't contain any oil/petroleum products. Also make sure that what ever you use doesn't have alcohol in it...it will dry your lips.

:D Too funny about the popcorn! Their own brands are really good--I always buy their Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Yep--we go practically every weekend. It spoils you for every other grocery store, as you know. ;)

I use Blistex. I don't go a day without using it. Much prefer it over chapstick. And yes, as of the last time I checked, it is gluten-free. Plus, I have never had a problem with it. Sooo....just in case it wasn't obvious...I love, love, love, my blistex. :P

I use chapstick daily and have seen it posted here several times as gluten free.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend the dosage?

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.
