I hear you, mouth! :P

I use that exclusively on my bunch. It works so well and doesn't wash off easily. It is especially good if other sunscreens irritate your skin.

Hi

Does it have soy in the vit E or A as some do?

probably not dairy or casein or peanuts

thanks for the info

I had no idea that there was gluten in sun screen. Which brands have gluten? I use the spray on ones from the can (store brand). I have melanoma and need to be careful in the sun. I can't believe I may have been glutening myself all this time. Thanks for the info.

I don't understand how someone can get glutened by sunscreen. If you got some in your mouth, would you not know it right away? Don't most people wash their hands after they put on sunscreen? :unsure:

I can see spray cans being an issue, but no one should get sunscreen in their mouth!

Dear Donna,

I am so sorry, I do not know which brands have gluten. I do know that Coppertone is supposed to be gluten-free. ALL Blue Lizard are gluten-free. They also have sunscreen protection against UVA AND UVB SUN RAYS.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! Maybe you should let your oncologist know about this one, because it protects against both types of rays...

Sincerely,

Lynn

Dear Doll,

Well, I thought so also, until I went to a Gluten Free Fair we had here in April, and it made me think. WHAT happens when you put make up on your face?? It gets absorbed into your skin... What happens when you wear Lipstick?? It ends up in your mouth..

Ok, May Kay has some gluten-free stuff. This is another Co that makes ALOT of gluten-free makeup and skin care, and body care and hair care. If you contact her, tell her I gave you the info. My name is LYNN. Here it is: CO: Nuskin. You can contact Kathy. Her email address is: mackeyk@bigplanet.com or makceyc@edifax.com Her phone number is 1 (757) 206-7140 ok.. GOOD LUCK.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT BLUE LIZARD IS THAT IT PROTECTS AGAINST UVA AND UVB RAYS!!

CONGRATS ON YOUR WEDDING.!!!!!!!!! SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!

SINCERELY,

Thanks! I'm really excited about the wedding! Everyone has to eat gluten-free...and there's no escaping it! :D

I am with you 100% on gluten-free lipsticks and other stuff that may get in your mouth..but I still use topical products that contain gluten, like body lotion and makeup (I always wash my hands after I apply it, in case I eat something with my hands). Gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin, and even if it could, it would need to be absorbed through the intestines to cause a reaction in Celiacs. I use Lancome Star Gloss (gluten-free) but I think they have discontiuned it. Thanks for the Mary Kay heads up...I know they have nice glosses!

Cheers!

I just added this from Clan Thompson, it helps explain what I am trying to say a little better! You can use your favorite products without worry (if you are careful to avoid CC onto your hands). I always wash with gluten-free soap before I eat anything with my hands, this takes care of CC. Please note that if you have a true gluten *allergy* and not Celiac,(IgE mediated), you might need to avoid topical gluten.

Q & A

Return to ->Ask the Doctor->Dermatitis Herpetiformis

QUESTION: I have heard that gluten is only a problem for celiacs if it's ingested and that we shouldn't worry about gluten in things like lipstick, lotions, or shampoo. Do people with DH (dermatitis herpetiformis) need to avoid skin contact with gluten? If not, why do so many complain that they react to any contact, even skin contact? What about something like lipstick or toothpaste which might be ingested? Should they be avoided? Thanks for your help.

DR. ZONE: There is always great concern about the possibility of topical gluten products causing problems. To start out with, gluten is not absorbed through the skin. There is little question about this. Topical gluten does not worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and it does not worsen celiac disease. If the topical product is eaten or licked as might be the case in lipstick, then the person is essentially eating that product and it would make sense that it would then be a problem. The same is true of toothpaste. I am well aware that many patients state that when they come in contact with gluten containing compounds that they cause problems. However, I do not know of any scientific basis for this and have a great deal of difficulty believing that this is activating celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis.

Don't most people wash their hands after they put on sunscreen?

I often put sunscreen on when I am away from home or a sink - out in the woods hiking, out on the water kayaking, out randomly walking around the city with friends, out along a beach, at a random corner on my bike, etc. So, no, I don't wash my hands. I don't usually wash my hands when I put on sunblock at home either, since sunburns on the back of your hands hurt rather a lot. :)

Donna,

Hi, again. I know that I saw it in Stop N' Shop here by me (in Nassau) but, a small tube was expensive. Let me find the letter I got from them.. Send me an email with your address and I'll forward a copy of the letter to you. That way you can write to them, or order a larger size. It seemed cheaper that way. The tube in the store I saw was 9.99 for a tiny tube, but you can order mega sized on line or call and order..

Thanks again Lynn. I shop at the Stop N Shop in Bellmore. As per the article from Dr. Zone we really might not need a gluten-free sunscreen if we wash our hands before eating. That is what I suspected anyway. I prepare non-gluten-free foods for my family and don't have any problems as long as I wash my hands right away. Hand washing is key in cutting down CC problems.

I think I will try the sun screen anyway since I do have melanoma. Thanks again for the info.

HI, I talked to my ROCK (Raising Our Celiac Kids) leader and she said yes it is important. Why? Where does stuff put on your skin go?? IT GETS ABSORBED INTO YOUR SKIN. If you wear lipstick where does it go? In your mouth and on faces of other people- or on their mouth... etc.. I say why take the chance?? I bought my self and my daughter lipstick from a gluten-free lipstick maker, and it stays on great !!!!!!!!! Now I also dont have to worry about my daughter trying my lipstick either!!!!! :)

GLUTEN CANNOT BE ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN. EVEN IF IT COULD, IT NEEDS TO BE EATEN TO CAUSE A REACTION IN CELIACS. Liptstick should be gluten-free, because it can be ingested (goes into your mouth and stomach).

"absorbed into the skin" does not necessarily mean absorbed into the blood stream and then into the intestinal tract, by the way. and there are many things which are temporarily absorbed, and later flushed back out. not to mention the fact that something as large as a gluten protein is going to need something to help it enter the skin. (patch-based medication usually has other chemicals which facilitate the transfer of the drug into the skin, and that mechanism - going in via the skin to get to the blood stream - avoids the digestive system entirely.)

(patch-based medication usually has other chemicals which facilitate the transfer of the drug into the skin, and that mechanism - going in via the skin to get to the blood stream - avoids the digestive system entirely.)

Gluten would have to be broken down into individual harmless amino acids to be absorbed into the skin/bloodstream. There is no evidence to support gluten as being absorbed through the skin, even if people believe this. Topical gluten is harmless unless you have a IgE gluten allergy (NOT Celiac). Think about it this way: If gluten was absorbed whole into the skin (which it cannot be), ANYONE would have a severe allergic reaction to it. It is a whole foreign protein and the body's immune system would freak out. Anyone with Celiac who has been glutened (their leaky gut mistakenly lets in a whole gluten molecule before it can be broken down) knows this very well! :o

In order to get the intestinal damage seen in Celiacs on top of that allergic reaction, the gluten would have to also be ingested.

That said, I am pretty sure it is safe to use topical gluten products as long as you wash your hands after. For sunscreen, no one should be eating without washing their hands first, gluten-free or not! Yuck! I don't think eating something with sunscreen residue on it is good for anyone! I wash my hands, then apply sunscreen to the back of my hands by putting the sunscreen on my forearm, then dipping the back of the hand in it. I can't have anything on the palms of my hands because I need to always be able to test my blood sugar (anything on my fingers can interfere with the result). You can also wash your hands before you eat, or use sliverware.

It really is personal choice for most Celiac adults to use gluten-free products or not, and it is up to them. I feel that Celiac has taken enough from me, I don't want to give up my favorite products or use products I don't like when there is no real reason to do so. :D

blue lizard isn't unique in protection against UVA and UVB protection. the reason it does a good job at this is because it's main active ingredient is zinc oxide, which has a very wide absorption spectrum. (well, reflective spectrum, really...) there are a number of other sunblocks that have zinc oxide (and titanium dioxide, which further expands the spectrum covered) that are safe. I personally prefer all terrain's sunblock, as it is far less greasy than blue lizard, which is more like standard sunscreens.

      I completely understand the frustration of finding reliable gluten-free ingredients—it's exhausting when trusted products disappear or companies don't respond to safety inquiries. For teff flour in bulk, check out Azure Standard or Bulk Foods; both often carry gluten-free grains in larger quantities and clearly label dedicated facilities. For soy flour, Anthony's Goods tests for gluten and offers bulk options, though always verify their current certifications. For beans, peas, and lentils, Palouse Brand is a great choice—they're GFCO-certified and transparent about their farming practices. As for lentil elbow macaroni, Explore Cuisine offers similar pastas, though cross-contact policies vary. When companies don't respond, I lean on third-party certifications (GFCO, NSF) or stick with brands like Jovial or Edward & Sons that prioritize allergen safety. It's a constant hunt, but hopefully these leads help! Have you tried local co-ops or ethnic markets for teff? Sometimes they stock bulk African or Indian brands with clear labeling.

      Beans in desserts are a fantastic way to add moisture, structure, and protein while keeping recipes gluten-free. Black bean brownies are a classic, but other beans like adzuki and pinto can also work well—adzuki beans are naturally sweet and often used in Asian desserts, making them great for cookies or cakes. Lentils, especially red lentils, blend smoothly into batters and can replace flour in recipes like blondies or muffins. Since you’re allergic to chickpeas, you might try navy beans or cannellini beans for a milder flavor in vanilla-based desserts. For less crumbliness, blending cooked beans into a paste helps bind the dough, and adding a bit of xanthan gum (if tolerated) can improve texture. If you’re experimenting, start with recipes that replace half the flour with bean purée before going fully flourless. Have you tried using aquafaba (bean liquid) as an egg substitute? It works wonders in gluten-free baking too!

      This may make you feel better about cross-contamination: https://nationalceliac.org/celiac-disease-questions/do-i-need-new-designated-pans-plates-and-utensils/ https://theceliacscene.com/rethinking-cross-contamination-no-need-to-be-so-careful/ I use Tom's of Maine or a toothpaste that states it's gluten free.  I have allergic reactions to some toothpastes so some of the toothpastes in health food stores are usually safer for me. They're typically gluten free as well. Spices can contain cross-contamination from gluten.  There are a few lists online of spices that are safe for celiacs.  I also grow my own herbs and use them in place of store bought when I can.  I think Badia lists their spices as gluten free and Spice Lab has some gluten free too. Knitty Kitty has a great point about nutritional deficiencies and B vitamins.  I got a lot of aches and pains when I got off gluten.  I tried to replace wheat with other healthy grains like teff, buckwheat and sorghum.  Limiting one's diet too much and not getting enough vitamins, can make someone feel worse.  A lot of the gluten free foods in the stores are made with lower quality ingredients than the wheat varieties.  I try to replace all my foods with homemade options.  Then I know the quality of the ingredients and which vitamins I may be high or low in.  Probiotics or prebiotics can help with bathroom issues.  Better to get them in foods if possible and not pill form.  My doctors keep recommending magnesium too.  It's not supposed to be taken alone, but they don't seem to care about that.  It's easy for vitamin D to be low too.  That was another thing doctors told me to take.  Unfortunately, they didn't monitor it and it went too high.  Again, better from natural sources like food and sunlight.  However, supplementing can help if you're not getting enough.  Some sources say to take D with K2.  You may want to have iodine levels checked.  If you add iodine, make sure to get sufficient selenium for thyroid.  You can get iodine naturally in most seaweed.  Nori may also be one of the few non-animal sources for B12.  Brazil nuts are a good source of selenium and you only need a few a day to meet RDA.  Some brands of nuts specifically say gluten free.  Unfortunately, there are issues with Brazil nut production and they're much harder to find this year. The more you can vary your diet the better.  One study said aim for at least 30 different foods in a week.  You might want to try kiwi fruit.  There were some studies that said eating kiwi improved mood.  It also has a covering which most people don't eat, so that should protect what's inside from contamination. I've limited my diet quite a bit over the years because of migraines, so I know how uncomfortable it can be finding safe foods.  However, I'm afraid limiting diets like that may actually be causing more harm than good.  It's something I'm trying to work on.  I keep trying to expand the number of foods I eat and my recipe repertoire.  I made a list of brands of foods that I've found that are gluten free so I have a guide when I'm shopping.

      Hello, @Dora77, I agree with you that your doctors aren't very knowledgeable about Celiac Disease.  My doctors didn't recognize nutritional deficiencies either.  I became very deficient in vitamins before I was diagnosed, so having experienced similar, I understand what a difficult time you're having.   Poor absorption of essential nutrients is caused by the damage done to the intestines by Celiac Disease.  The gluten free diet can be low in essential nutrients, so supplementing to boost your absorption is beneficial.  New symptoms can develop or worsen as one becomes more and more deficient.   There's eight essential B vitamins that our bodies cannot make, so they must come from our food and supplements.  These eight B vitamins work together, like instruments in an orchestra.  They need to be supplemented together with essential minerals like magnesium.   Deficiencies in the B vitamins can have overlapping symptoms.  Some symptoms can be traced to specific B vitamins.  OCD can be traced to low Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6.  Yes, I had OCD and washed my hands until my skin cracked and bled.  ADHD symptoms can be traced to low Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  ADHD is something one is born with.  People who are born with ADHD have a metabolic problem with getting sufficient thiamine into their brain cells.  People who develop symptoms of ADHD later in life are more likely to be low in Thiamine.  The same symptoms appear if one is not getting sufficient thiamine from the diet.  Yes, I developed symptoms of ADHD.  These symptoms improved and disappeared after supplementing with Thiamine and the other essential nutrients. I was diagnosed with Type Two Diabetes.  99% of diabetics of both types are deficient in Thiamine because our kidneys don't re-absorb thiamine properly.  Thiamine is needed to make insulin and digestive enzymes in the pancreas.  Poor digestion (floating, undigested stools) can result with insufficient pancreatic enzymes.  The gall bladder (upper right quadrant) needs thiamine to make and release bile which also helps with digestion.  Constipation is also a symptom of Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies.  The thyroid is another organ that uses lots of Thiamine, too.  Low thyroid hormones can be due to insufficient thiamine, selenium, iron, and iodine.  Swelling of hands, face and feet are also symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.   Our bodies use thiamine to make energy so organs and tissues can function.  Thiamine cannot be stored longer than three weeks.  If our stores are not replenished every day, we can run out of Thiamine quickly.  If we do get some thiamine from our diet, symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously, because a twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent improvement in brain function and symptoms.  Thiamine interacts with all the other vitamins in some way.  Many other vitamins and their metabolic processes won't work without thiamine.  In Celiac Disease you are apt to be low in all the essential nutrients, not just thiamine, but thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first. Talk to your dietician about eating a nutritionally dense gluten free diet.  Keep in mind that processed gluten free foods do not contain sufficient vitamins to be useful.  Processed gluten free foods are filled with saturated fats and excess fiber (that could explain your constipation).  Dairy products, milk and cheese can cause problems because Casein, the protein in dairy, causes the same autoimmune reaction that gluten does in some.  Your current restricted diet is dangerous to your health.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  It's a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal healing.   Discuss with your doctors about correcting nutritional deficiencies as soon as possible.   Interesting reading... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34165060/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21816221/#:~:text=Lipid-soluble thiamin precursors can,and attention deficit%2Fhyperactivity disorder.
