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.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
