Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen


Peej

Recommended Posts

I was glutened last weekend and after going through every little detail of the weekend's events, the only thing that could have caused it, unless there was some cc involved aomewhere (unlikely), was the sunscreen.

I checked with the company about it and they couldn't guarantee that the product was gluten free (here's the response I got: Thank you for your inquiry. We do not add wheat or wheat germ oil to our formulas; however, we are not certain that it is not included in the raw materials we purchase. If you have allergy concerns, we suggest you consider purchasing products from our Banana Boat line for the time being. In the future, we hope to provide you with specific product recommendations for Hawaiian Tropic.

Given that response, the sunscreen was likely the culprit but I wanted to see if anyone else had had a reaction to it.

Thanks!

I used some a week ago and didn't have a reaction. Even if it does contain gluten, you would have to ingest it somehow of course. I may very well have done this because I accidentally got some on my face near my mouth. But I didn't notice anything afterward, so I'll be using it again this summer.

I know this is a 4 year old thread.

For the past few days I've been on a full elimination diet - eating only 5 clean foods, and only prepared by me.

Yesterday, I decided to lay out at the pool for an hour. I applied some Hawaiin Tropic Tanning Oil, and was fully affected.

It didn't all add up until waking up an hour ago and feeling like I ran 2 marathons yesterday, but in fact even walking home from the pool yesterday brain fog settled in and visual acuity diminished. I wrote it off to laying out in the 110 degree sun for 90 minutes. The slight bloating I tried to ignore, and the same with the constipation. Getting up a little while ago though, I haven't had this much joint pain since I did my re-glutening for blood testing.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
