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.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.
