I too am anxiously awaiting for that miraculous day of “I FEEL GREAT!!”

I do feel a lot better than before my DX and I’m eating 100% gluten-free, and am taking 25 mg of Dapsone a day, every time I try to stop the Dapsone, I break out. So not worth it, guess my body needs that wee boost, but I’m still only about 60% of my former self.... But! We WILL get there. Have faith. ?

I was just coming here to ask people what lip balms or chap sticks you use that seem safe.  I have been using Burt's Bees pomegranate flavor lip balm lately and have been having stomach issues, so it just dawned on me I better check it out.  I see that some posts here people are saying they use Burts Bees with good results, but I looked online at their FAQ section and it says it cannot say their products are gluten free.

But I noticed the replies here are a few years old and someone told me Burts Bees was bought out a few years ago, so I was wondering if people are still having good luck using Burts Bees lip products even now? 

What lip balms or chap sticks is everyone here using and happy with in the past year or currently? 

 

Thanks.

I buy EOS which marked Gluten Free.  I can get it in bulk at Costco in yummy flavors.  If you are in doubt or in a pinch,  try Plain old Vaseline or Coconut Oil.

I used Burts Bees in the past but also saw on their website that it may not be safe. I've been using Eco Lips or EOS, which are both labeled gluten-free, and haven't had any issues.

Burts bees is not good to me, and neither is carmex. Probably a weird allergy of mine. I've been using my hand lotion that is gluten free over my lips while I'm dragging my feet to find something new.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. It helps a lot because my lips are getting horrible and i see that EOS brand in all the stores so I'll grab some tomorrow.I'm not sure I've seen the Eco one. I was just about to go look up Vaseline as worst case scenario.  I like Badger too, but wanted to wait and order from them a little after the holidays and get more sunscreen too and just get it all at once. They have some yummy looking lip flavors in their gluten-free section.  I am glad to know I was not the only one that didn't have luck with Burts Bees.  I was wondering if that was what was bothering my stomach so stopped using it.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
