Topics I've Started

Soy Intolerance And Carmex

15 April 2012 - 11:35 AM

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.

Fructose Malabsorption Worsening

21 March 2012 - 09:23 AM

Since going gluten free 9 months ago I have identified a number of additional foods I cannot tolerate. FM came into the picture as well. However, I don't remember FM being so problematic until I cleared all the other foods. I have had the healthiest gut over the last month since kicking coffee and corn, but anything with even a small amount of fructose causes GI distress. Any idea why it has worsened? Could I have a leaky enough gut still and when or if that heals might I be able to tolerate fructose better?
