Chapstick/Carmex/Burts Bees

I've done a search but can't find much recent -- the older posts that I've found here on Carmex and Burts Bees seem to say that these are safe, but when I go to Carmex's website, there's nothing (I've e-mailed them, but don't have a response yet) and Burts Bees says shared lines, etc.  Does anyone have recommendations for something I can use that is currently known to be gluten fee (drugstore brand, please)?  My lips are sooo dry!

I use eos lip balm. I prefer the strawberry sorbet but I think all the flavors are listed as gluten free and so is their lotion.

I use chapstick brand and have never had an issue.  I am a VERY sensitive celiac so I wouldn't for sure know if there was even the slightest gluten CC in it.

I read the ingredients.  If I see wheat germ oil - then I drop it and scream.  Gets some odd looks at Target......  I use Chapstick and others.

I've heard it's safe and that's what I've been using. I hope it is.

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
