Soft Lips By Mentholatum

I LOVED that these were one product that I could buy anywhere that actually say "Gluten Free" on the label/boxing. But, I soon realized that my lips would get irritated whenever I used them. Did this happen to anyone else? Or is this just a completely different allergy all my own?

I can't answer your question but Blistex Medicated Lip Balm in the blue-green tube and Neosporin Lip Health are safe. Then again, we can have sensitivies to most anything so what I can use, others may not be able to.

I use Blistex Medicated lip balm in the white and red container but Neosiporin has sulfa in it and I am highly allergic to that, just another thing I have to look out for. My lips do dry up and even split and get very store, if I put that balm on my wrist it will blister or rash out. Hope this might help.

Mentholatum contains eucalyptus. Of course, I have no clue what things you might be allergic to, but I'm so allergic to eucalyptus I cannot even walk down the same aisle of the hobby store where it is stocked with the dried flowers, grasses, etc. without becoming sick. Perhaps you are having a reaction to eucalyptus.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, I haven't tried Gliadin X, although @Scott Adams might be able to discuss his experiences.   I think it's a bad idea to take GliadinX during your gluten challenge.  You won't mount a strong enough autoimmune response.

      Glutenease Mary Ruth Gluten Digestive enzyme? Are these just a waste of money?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The FDA doesn't regulate nutraceuticals like this. The AN-PEP enzyme has been used for decades in commercial beer brewing as a clarifying agent, and is no longer patentable, thus no pharmaceutical companies are interested in it specifically, although there are companies that are trying to develop their own version of it that can be patented.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease can indeed impact your menstrual cycle due to the body's impaired nutrient absorption, which may lead to deficiencies in iron, vitamins, and minerals essential for hormonal balance. Malnutrition and chronic inflammation from untreated celiac can disrupt ovulation and cycle regularity, potentially causing irregular or missed periods. Additionally, vomiting from celiac flare-ups could affect the effectiveness of the mini-pill, as consistent absorption is crucial for contraception. Since the mini-pill has a narrower window for error compared to combined pills, gastrointestinal issues might reduce its reliability. It’s worth discussing these concerns with your doctor—they may recommend adjusting your contraceptive method or closely monitoring nutrient levels to stabilize both your celiac symptoms and menstrual cycle. Tracking symptoms and dietary adherence could also help identify patterns. Hope this helps!
