Does anyone know of a good gluten free sunscreen?

 

Thank you.

I use CeraVe for my daily sunscreen on my face. Then I add blobs of Banana Boat for Babies on my bike rides as it does not run into my eyes which can cause stinging or blurred vision. I use No-Ad that Consumer Reports rates well and Coppertone spray because it is cheap at Costco and I only spray my back while standing in the shower in case my jersey does not block the sun (plus, my family is usually still in bed when I leave for a ride). Finally, we use old-fashioned zinc oxide on our noses and cheeks while surfing as extra insurance.

My grandmother used to admonish us for getting a tan, "You will look like a peasant!" And that still rings in my ears.

I don't spend a lot of time out in the sun, but do try to remember to get out every evening before sunset to water my garden. I never wear sunscreen when I'll be outside for short times like that, or when I'm just out running errands and will only be in the car for 10-20 minutes at a time. It's healthy to get some sun.

 

On Saturdays though I spend hours outside at the farmers market. I'm kind of a hippie (so my husband tells me) and do not want some chemical laden product with 10 things more sure to give me cancer than too much sun. So instead, I make my own. Recipes are all over the internet and it's super easy to make. You'll know what's in it and don't have to question whether or not it's actually gluten free, although to be perfectly honest since gluten can't be absorbed through the skin, it doesn't matter. There are lots of things about sunscreen that make it far more dangerous to ingest, even to us, than gluten so always wash your hands thoroughly after applying.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
