Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I just bought a Kiehl's baby lip balm for myself. It was so easy to slide on, I tried it on my son. He let me, for the first time. And it really healed his lips quickly. Kiehl's can be kind of hard to find. I got mine at Blue Mercury, do you have those? I think Bloomingdales also carries it. > > Can anyone recommend something to help w/my daughter's > chapped and cracking lips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Thanks, I'll check this out too for my daughter. But since we are looking all into these things, does anyone know what is really going wrong to create this condition? I believe I had heard it is a sign of problems with the EFA's. Also many have mentioned having cracked lips I think at just the introduction phase of enzymes, but believe that typically goes away after a few weeks. Kari Re: chapped lips Here's a link.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Kari--What other supps. are you giving? Cracked lips can be a sign of Vitamin A toxicity and also of iron overload.-Tod > Thanks, I'll check this out too for my daughter. > But since we are looking all into these things, does anyone know what is really going wrong to create this condition?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Riboflavin is vitamin B2. When all is in balance, the intestines good bacteria should produce vitamin B2. It is also plentiful in dairy, eggs, soy, fresh fruits, fresh veggies, nuts and seeds, so not surprising that it would be deficient in a restricted diet. However, this is a problem I am dealing with right now. I can get it under control with 4 times the recommended dose of my B-Complex, but I am looking for a better solution. > Dry, cracked corners of the mouth can indicate a Riboflavin > deficiency.
