Dh And Sunscreen

I have been diagnosed with celiac, and have had outbreaks of dh on my forehead for about 2 years now. I do use a cream from my doc that minimizes the outbreaks.

However, this past weekend I used coppertone sunscreen and my forehead now has a huge dh breakout. Could this be just from the heat of the sun, or is the coppertone sunscreen a culprit? I though I read somewhere on this site that coppertone was gluten free?

I am very sensitive to most sunscreens, but have found if I find one of the pure mineral "block" types which contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide those do not bother me. I believe Neutrogena makes one of these for sensitive skin (look at the active ingredients, and be sure it's only these 2 things above and not the other "new" ingredients such as helioplex etc). I myself use one daily made by paula's choice (online). It's only spf 15 though, so if I'm out in the sun a lot in summer or skiing in winter I use my basic one and then on top I put Neutrogena's highest one, and I generally don't have a problem with it on an occasional basis like that.

Most of the other sunscreens sting when I put them on and I get blotchy from them.

I have never found a sunscreen that I can use without breaking out. A couple of years ago I came across this company that makes clothing with an SPF factor of 30. They are surprisingly lightweight and stylish. I wear the hats, pants and shirts when I am going to be exposed for an extended period of time. You may want to check them out.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
