Chapstick does not contain any gluten, but the manufacturer (like most mainstream manufacturers) does not test for possible contamination. That is about as good as it gets for most consumer products.

I use it without trouble on occasion. My wife goes through it like crazy, especially in the winter.

I don't know, but I've sifted through some threads here where people have said they won't use it anymore?

It is a free world. People can do what they want. Some people get scared when the company won't make a gluten-free claim for legal reasons. I am not one of those people. In more than eleven years, I have yet to have a problem.

While we try to do our best and catch inaccurate information, it's not always possible. Some posts are old and are no longer accurate. And some people are inaccurate. :huh:

If you have any doubt, always contact the manufacturer direction. Chapstick is closed for the evening, but a phone number is on the link that I posted. :)

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause? 
    • Aussienae
      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
