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.

      This is all really useful information, thank you so much to you both. I have a history of B12 and vit D deficiency which has always just been treated and then ignored until it’s now again.

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the...

      9 Year Old test results - help interpret

      Hi everyone After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra i...

      Food Tasting Salty

      Those are great points and some follow up thoughts and ideas. I think you're both stating the same thing in two different ways, but I appreciate the "accuracy" of what you're getting to. 1. Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If...

When I eat certain food like dairy or soy my face gets so hot and I feel flush and my heart rate shoot’s up. And sometimes my bottom lip swells or I get hives somewhere. This started happening after I had a really bad case of Covid.  Before that I was able to eat all those things (minus gluten) I was diagnosed with celiac way before I had Covid.  Hmm, not sure really. I may look for a different allergist my current one told me to take Zyrtec and gave me an epi pen.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gill.brittany8! There are two main genes that have been identified as creating potential for developing celiac disease, HLDQ2 and HLDQ8. Your daughter has one of them. So, she possesses genetic the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population carries one or both of these genes but only about 1% of the general population develops celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some kind of triggering stress factor (e.g., a viral infection or another prolonged health problem or an environmental factor) to "turn on" the gene or genes. Unfortunately, your daughter's doctor ordered a very minimal celiac antibody panel, the tTG-IGA and total IGA. Total IGA is not even a test per celiac disease per se but is a check for IGA deficiency. If the person being checked for celiac disease is IGA deficient, then the scores for individual IGA tests (such as the tTG-IGA) will be abnormally low and false negatives can often be the result. However, your daughter's total IGA score shows she is not IGA deficient. You should consider asking our physician for a more complete celiac panel including DGP-IGA, TTG_IGG and DGP-IGG. If she had been avoiding gluten that can also create false negative test results as valid antibody testing requires having been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks leading up to the blood draw. Do you know if the GI doc who did the upper GI took biopsies of the duodenum and the duodenum bulb to check for the damage to the small bowel lining caused by celiac disease? Having said all that, her standard blood work shows evidence of possible celiac disease because of an elevated liver enzyme (Alkaline Phosphatase) and low values for hemoglobin.

      Hi everyone  After years of stomach issues being ignored by doctors, my 9 y/o daughter finally had an upper endoscopy which showed a ton of stomach inflammation. The GI doctor ordered some bloodwork and I’m attaching the results here. Part will be from the CBC and the other is celiac specific. I’m not sure what’s relevant so I’m just including extra information just in case.   The results are confusing because they say “No serological evidence of celiac disease. tTG IgA may normalize in individuals with celiac disease who maintain a gluten-free diet. Consider HLA DQ2 and DQ8 testing to rule out celiac disease.” But just a few lines down, it says DQ2 positive. Can someone help make sense of this? Thanks so much.  result images here: https://ibb.co/WFkF0fm https://ibb.co/kHvX7pC https://ibb.co/crhYp2h https://ibb.co/fGYFygQ

Are you both stating that the "too salty of a taste" could be triggered by a histamine reaction, and the flavor is coming from the electrolytes? If that is the case, wouldn't the individuals mouth always be salty during a "Glutening" situation, or are we saying that the person could get "use to the flavor" until introducing food or beverage and that could be enough to "stir the pot" and notice the salty flavor? 2. To push back on "#1": If that were true anyone with issues of histamine releasing foods/treatments would experience the same thing. Also, I did not experience a situation where most beverages were "too salty". Thoughts?
