Soy Free Lip Balm

Along with gluten, I am finally starting to realize that it may be soy that is also bothering me. I use Burt's Bees lip balm and see it has soy. Big bummer since I like Burt's Bees. I want to go completely soy free for a while to see if my symptoms clear up. My issues have been going on for over a year, so I'd really like to figure out what's bothering me.

I am totally addicted to lip balm and need a soy free (and gluten-free) replacement. I prefer the natural stuff rather than something with a list full of chemicals. Does anyone have any lip balm suggestions for me?

Thanks!

Karen

Check out 100% pure-- it may be mopre liquid than you are used to.

Also, there is always carmex. But carmex is a petroleum base. Still, it is the best one out there for me.

Good luck!

I've been using Badger Balm for years--they have lots of different moisturizing products, and their lip balm is some of the best I've used. Soy free and mostly organic.

Thanks for the replies. I will be on the lookout for all of these, but will start with the Badger brand since I can get that locally at Wegman's. It looks like there are several flavors from which to choose. Thanks again. Here's to hoping a lip balm switch can make a difference.

I keep a little container with coconut oil in it. It works soooo well!

      Enegy level extremely low

      Hello Scott, I did lose weight at the beginning of diagnosis and I know that it will take time to put on the weight I did lose. I think I have no appetite because this has been a roller coaster of emotions and a Big change on my body and its out of whack mentally and pysically. I think I am just depressed to be honest.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      It's easy to forget that it's not only the concentration of gluten in a given food item that's significant but also the total amount of gluten we consume over a period of time. This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi! I try to steer clear of dairy and I cut out oats at the same time I did gluten products. It may be that something I had recently that was labeled as gluten-free contained oats. I am just so confused as to why I didn’t react when I know I ate wheat flour (breaded fries) but then reacted to something else 9 days later. Maybe you’re right and that it was...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi, I’m brand new to this website but I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I am just now getting over a particularly bad flare up that lasted a full 7 days. I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my ...

This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative effect because our bodies aren't given enough time to clear the gluten we have already consumed. Just curious. Did you know the fries were wheat breaded when you ate them?

If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been using that was once gluten free is no more. Companies can and do change their formulations over time so it may be wise to take inventory of what is in your cupboard and what your are purchasing and check closely the ingredient labels and the allergen statements. It is also possible that the reaction you mention is caused by something else that resembles a gluten reaction. Are you still consuming oats and dairy?
