I've finally kind of gotten used to what for look for in foods, but now I've started reading my meds and chapstick and other products and they use totally different terminology. Can anybody help me. Below is the link to my chapstick ingredients list. If anybody is experience reading this stuff can you look at it and then let me know if it if gluten-free?

Thanks! Abby

Abby- I think it looks fine. This website is a good resource--has definitions of random chemicals that are hard to identify... I looked up one of the random ingredients in your chapstick and it told me what it is: Open Original Shared Link

Also--here is a list of gluten-free chapstick products in case you or anyone else uses those...

Whenever there is alcohol and flavor you should check. Whenever you don't know about all of the ingredients you shoud check just to make sure so you are not overlooking anything.

You guys are very helpful. Thanks! I'm happy that I can keep using my favorite chapstick! :D

I don't want to be a pain about this, but is there a list somewhere for ingredients found in these things as to whether they are safe or not? I have another thing now that I'm trying to find out if it's gluten-free, where can I go in the future to find out without having to bug you guys.

It's ingredients are:

Polybutene

Hydrogenated Polyisobutene

Mentha Piperite Oil

Sorbitan Sesquioleate

Menthyl Lactate

Saccahrin

Thanks, Abby :P

Yeah, I refer to that list when I'm checking my foods, but I thought cosmetic ingredients might be different and not on the lists. Because when I read the ingredients on my chapstick, shampoo, etc. I don't recognize any of the names.

This email might help you out with some makeup ingredients. You may want to do a search on FDA regulations for gluten ingredients to look for. I would just ask on here I am sure someone will no and if not you could always call.

We are attaching a list of grain-derived ingredients, found on our labels, which will be helpful in providing you direction. This information covers products marketed under the following trademarks: Est

      The site I posted earlier does include ALL ingredients, including ANY binders. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Hi Fly1962!  You are definitely not too late to take part, please can you send me an email at: m.figueiredo@surrey.ac.uk  so I can get in touch with you asap to provide more information       Thanks! :)

      Have y'all checked for any binders with the manufacturing chemists? Binders on medications don't have to be listed in ingredients lists and the only surefire way to find out is to speak to the chemists directly. It's very difficult to find them, but if you do I would be very interested since I was just about to start Xiromed and already struggle with my diet. I would love to hear if you do find a safe source!

      Flapjack is as British as Fish & Chips!  Oats, butter, sugar, golden syrup... yum.  I have just returned from Fowey in Cornwall having discovered they have a branch of this amazing, award winning flapjack shop in the town.  I would thoroughly recommend that all coeliacs visiting Cornwall and Devon, who can tolerate pure oats, to drop in and buy one buy one (or several).  The oats used in Flapjackery's recipes are certified gluten free.  How wonderful for us coeliacs to be able to go into a shop and buy absolutely EVERYTHING on sale!  They come in so many interesting flavours including blackberry, cream tea, clotted cream, millionaires, salted caramel, tropical fruit, Eton Mess...  Also available by post. https://www.flapjackery.co.uk/

      As mentioned earlier in this thread, one of our sponsors here, Tierra Farm, sells certified gluten-free nuts and has a free shipping deal going now: https://www.tierrafarm.com/discount/gfships Coupon code: GFships
