Glutened By Eos Lip Balm?

Hi guys! I've felt slightly glutened for the past few weeks, and the one new thing I've been consistently using is EOS lip balm. I know it says it's gluten-free, so it seems unlikely. Has anyone else had problems?

 

I got the Strawberry Sorbet flavor in the sphere, if that makes a difference.

Unless you are just eating these things,( and that would be a whole other issue :) ) I think I would look around for some other problem.

I believe all there products are gluten free.  Many on here use these balms.  I would look else where for the problem.

Yes, all of their products are gluten free. I've used every flavor of lip balm they offer without issue.

Are they? After viewing their website, they only list their hand cream and lip balm as gluten free… it concerns me that they bother to list that on the hand cream and lip balm but not their body lotion or shave cream… I have heard that their products are all gluten free… but, again, the website freaks me out a bit hah.

Call them on it. Someone said their shaving cream was gluten free, I didn't believe it because it has oats, which is why I stopped using it. So I emailed them. Called them, twice. They said there are the lip balms and hand lotions, which they say are gluten free. And then there are the body lotion and shaving cream which don't say it. I don't know why they don't just list the oats as gluten-free oats or whats up with that. Or if they just don't say it because they don't want a bazillion people calling in like I did questioning if it's really truly true. But I was told on three separate occasions that all products are gluten free. Naturally, I'm just repeating what I was told which was probably a year ago. As far as I can tell the ingredients look like what I recall. (But who remembers a whole list?) Seriously though, who eats body lotion and shaving cream? Maybe they only list the ones they do because they're the only ones that make sense, seeing how one gets applied to our mouth and one goes on our hands which is the only part of our body that comes in regular contact with our mouth.

Thanks for the reply/feedback :) I may attempt to contact them again, I didn't have much luck last time. 

 

I generally only use their lip balm… I found other products that are gluten free for hand lotion/body lotion. Also, it's a good point about not eating shaving cream… but in terms of body lotion I generally apply it with my hands, and I don't usually wash my hands after. Might just be me though.

I use whatever lotion makes me happy at any given time. Usually I buy stuff on sale or that I have coupons for. I have found that if you call a company about the gluten free status of their products that they often offer to mail you coupons. I do use a lot of J&J baby products because they're reasonably priced, frequently on sale and coupons are abundant. By preference, I would use Eucerin. I have used ones though that I haven't checked on as body lotions (I mostly use them for my feet) because I do wash my hands after putting lotion on my feet.

 

I do have the incredibly terrible and probably unhealthy habit of putting my razor in my mouth while I apply shaving lotion. I know how bad this is, and I tell myself I'll stop... and next thing I know my razor is in my mouth again. <_< I have a terrible problem with following simple instructions I guess.

I also do that... I try to be really careful but... it happens each and every time.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
