Soy Free Lip Balm

Along with gluten, I am finally starting to realize that it may be soy that is also bothering me. I use Burt's Bees lip balm and see it has soy. Big bummer since I like Burt's Bees. I want to go completely soy free for a while to see if my symptoms clear up. My issues have been going on for over a year, so I'd really like to figure out what's bothering me.

I am totally addicted to lip balm and need a soy free (and gluten-free) replacement. I prefer the natural stuff rather than something with a list full of chemicals. Does anyone have any lip balm suggestions for me?

Thanks!

Karen

Check out 100% pure-- it may be mopre liquid than you are used to.

Also, there is always carmex. But carmex is a petroleum base. Still, it is the best one out there for me.

Good luck!

I've been using Badger Balm for years--they have lots of different moisturizing products, and their lip balm is some of the best I've used. Soy free and mostly organic.

Thanks for the replies. I will be on the lookout for all of these, but will start with the Badger brand since I can get that locally at Wegman's. It looks like there are several flavors from which to choose. Thanks again. Here's to hoping a lip balm switch can make a difference.

I keep a little container with coconut oil in it. It works soooo well!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is not under control, however, I would take the result you posted at face value.

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By StevieP. · Posted

      Going on a cruise next week and I’m a celiac. Bought a bottle of GliandinX. Should I just take two tablets per day as a precaution? Never tried this before!! Any help is appreciated!!

      By Hope07 · Posted

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
