Hi all,

Been having a hard time finding an SPF I like. One was recommended and looks good (Rohto Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk SPF50+ PA++++) but its from Japan and I've had problems getting in contact with the manufacturer. I do have a list of ingredients (below) -- does this appear to be gluten free? Thanks for any help here!

Water, cyclopentasiloxane, zinc oxide, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, butylene glycol, diethylhexyl succinate, polymethylsilsesquioxane, hydrated silica, glycerin, lauroyl lysine, lauryl PEG-9 polydimethylsiloxyethyl dimethicone, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, sodium hyaluronate, acrylates copolymer, hydrogen dimethicone, phenoxyethanol, triethoxysilylethyl polydimethylsiloxyethyl hexyl dimethicone, methylparaben, disodium EDTA, sodium acetylated hyaluronate, hydrolyzed collagen, arginine, bis-ethylhexyl hydroxydimethoxy benzylmalonate

Looks gluten free to me.  Here is a list of ingredients that contain gluten:

 Remember, you really have to ingest it to cause a celiac disease flare up.  But I avoid gluten in personal care products because I am have been rewired to look for gluten.  Just gives me piece of mind which can be priceless.  Why support manufacturers who do not care about me?

Thank you cyclinglady, and I appreciate you and all the other contributors here that share your insight and experience. I'm much the same with products, although I'm extra cautious regarding sunscreen as I get sweaty during the summertime and I don't want the extra worry regarding my products. I have DH as well, which just seems to aggravate everything.

I use a zinc oxide product on my face with added zinc oxide on my nose and cheeks for cycling.  The more chemical sunscreens can really burn my eyes.  A sweatband helps too.  I use regular chemical sunscreen (based on Consumer Reports recommendations) for the rest of my body.  

While gardening or walking I cover up (e.g. hat, sun shirt)  after getting some sun for Vitamin D.

My dermatologist finally talked me into buying EltaMD UV Daily Broad Spectrum SPF40 for my face.  It's expensive, but lasts a long time if you just use it on your face. The big deal here is when and if it sweats into your eyes, it doesn't sting.  At all.  I'm very fair and it's a game-changer as I would avoid using sunscreen on my forehead before this - the sting was just too difficult.  The only ingredients are Zinc Oxide and Octinoxate.

I have used the EltaMD UV Daily Broad Spectrum SPF40 on my face for years.  I haven’t had any issues, and I am pretty sensitive. One word of caution, not all of the EltaMd products are gluten free, so be careful.  BTW, it does a great job and doesn’t feel heavy on your face.  I wear it underneath my makeup everyday.

Thanks for the heads up - I didn't know not all of the EltaMD products wouldn't be gluten free.  Do you know what isn't?  I just ordered an SPF 30 sunscreen too and now I'm worried about that one...

I’ve always gone by the EltaMD website product descriptions.  I did find this website that lets you filter by gluten free.  It shows more items being gluten free than the EltaMD website.  Not sure if EltaMD is inconsistent in their descriptions vs. this other website.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
