Soy Intolerance And Carmex

Austin Guy

Recommended Posts

I was frustrated with lip balms as they all seem to contain soy, which I am intolerant to. I was going on a skin trip in lake February and bought some Carmex after I thought I researched the ingredients well. For the following month I had a lot of GI distress and bloating. It was OK some days, mild on others and pretty bad on other days.

I finally did better research and am convinced that either the cetyl esters of lanolin, or both, are vegetable based. That suggests soy. I have quit using Carmex and am feeling better. So this is just a warning for people who are intolerant to soy. Watch out for cetyl esters and lanolin.

I'm going back to plain Vasaline.

Can you do olive oil and Shea butter?

If so find pure Shea and mix in some olive oil. Works great for a multitude of things, I've found.

Vaseline is my to-go lip balm and it comes in a small tube.

I was using CLEURE for awhile,as it is free of gluten and salicyates, but then realized it had soybean oil (bummer)

I don't know if there is soy in the balm, but lanolin is from sheep so that wouldn't be soy.

Coconut butter or oil is often suggested.

Cortisone cream also works well for chapped lips.

I'm using Open Original Shared Link because it smells purty, and I got some at a B&BW closeout for $2. :) Otherwise, vaseline is a quick fix, and coconut oil tastes good. You could probably make up your own blend of coconut and almond oils so you have a softer substance to use.

I love that stuff but not sure a guy would.

      Eczema or dermatitis herpetiformis

      By dublin555 · Posted

      I’ve been through something similar recently, and I know how frustrating it can be when nothing seems to work. Based on what you’ve described, it might be worth considering dermatitis herpetiformis, especially with the family history of celiac disease. Testing could give you some answers, and while online kits aren’t as reliable as a GP, they’re a good start if appointments are hard to get. I also found relief through medical cannabis for my eczema, at Releaf, a clinic in the UK that offers eczema medical cannabis treatment. They start with a low dose, adjust weekly, and track progress through online consultations.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Jaylan! Almost all of the symptoms and medical conditions you describe have been found to be associated with celiac disease. But they can also be caused by other things as well. There certainly is enough circumstantial evidence in your list of medical problems to warrant being tested for celiac disease. Ask your physician to order a celiac panel consisting of, at the very minimum, these two blood antibody tests: total IGA and tTG-IGA. Please do not attempt to limit your gluten intake before the blood draw is taken or you will invalidate the testing. Incidentally, celiac disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS.

      Symptoms & waiting on blood test results

      By Jaylan · Posted

      Hi there!  I’ve recently been tested for celiac disease, along with other autoimmune diseases. My symptoms started back in 2018 with joint pain in my knees. Since then, it has progressively worsened. I now have joint pain in both knees, elbows, and sometimes my shoulders. The pain is almost unbearable. I feel so stiff in the mornings, and this stiffness can last the whole day. I also experience swelling and warmth around those areas.   Other symptoms include IBS (diagnosed at age 16), restless legs, chest pain, tiredness, miscarriages, bloating, and sharp pain on the right side of my stomach. In the past, I’ve also had problems with a vitamin D deficiency, and my serum folate levels recently came back very low.   My question is: How likely is it that I have celiac disease?
