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...

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

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
