Soy Intolerance And Carmex

Austin Guy

I was frustrated with lip balms as they all seem to contain soy, which I am intolerant to. I was going on a skin trip in lake February and bought some Carmex after I thought I researched the ingredients well. For the following month I had a lot of GI distress and bloating. It was OK some days, mild on others and pretty bad on other days.

I finally did better research and am convinced that either the cetyl esters of lanolin, or both, are vegetable based. That suggests soy. I have quit using Carmex and am feeling better. So this is just a warning for people who are intolerant to soy. Watch out for cetyl esters and lanolin.

I'm going back to plain Vasaline.

Can you do olive oil and Shea butter?

If so find pure Shea and mix in some olive oil. Works great for a multitude of things, I've found.

Vaseline is my to-go lip balm and it comes in a small tube.

I was using CLEURE for awhile,as it is free of gluten and salicyates, but then realized it had soybean oil (bummer)

I don't know if there is soy in the balm, but lanolin is from sheep so that wouldn't be soy.

Coconut butter or oil is often suggested.

Cortisone cream also works well for chapped lips.

I'm using Open Original Shared Link because it smells purty, and I got some at a B&BW closeout for $2. :) Otherwise, vaseline is a quick fix, and coconut oil tastes good. You could probably make up your own blend of coconut and almond oils so you have a softer substance to use.

I love that stuff but not sure a guy would.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By shirlane · Posted

      I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product.  I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients.  If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      @nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.

      Meniers and celiac are they related

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.
