Does anyone know of any, or where I could find out which ones are safe? I use a lot because my lips are dry.

Thanks!

all burts bees lip balms are gluten free... the original is my favorite with the peppermint... mmm :)

also, i called wyeth last year regarding chap stick, and all of their varieties are gluten free. i use carmex at home too for the winter when my lips get very chapped... they have only a few very plain ingredients, however i did not call to confirm.

The very best out there IMO is carmex. It comes in pots and tubes and you can get it at Target or Walmart.

I second Carmex. From their Open Original Shared Link:

Does Carmex contain gluten? Nope, not even a speck. There is no gluten in any of our ingredients. We do not use flour in our manufacturing process, so there's no chance of any trace of it on our conveyor belts.

The things= about carmex is that it is not hard and waxy when you put it on and it stays on a lot longer. It is more like a balm, but it has the perfect consistency and it sticks.

It also has a nice vanilla-menthol kind of smell to it. I use it instead of lipgloss and I have used it for years. There is nothing else that even comes close IMO.

Do you know if the all natural chapstick brand is gluten free?

These are gluten free from what they say.

HOORAY FOR CARMEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to find out that my all-time favorite lip balm was gluten free all along!!! What good news!

So I third the motion for Carmex. :D

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
