Gluten Free Sunscreen

I have been using neutrogena dry touch spf30. It says it contains Oat (Aveena Sativa) Kernel Extract. Does anyone know if this means it is gluten free or not? Thanks

You're probably familiar with the debate on the gluten-free status of oats.

1. They are very often grown with and processed with wheat products, making them usually cross-contaminated unless they are certified gluten-free.

2. The protein in oats is very similar to gluten, so many celiacs are not able to tolerate even certified gluten-free ones (including myself).

Also, there's debate as to whether gluten can be absorbed through the skin, but either way, if it's on your hands you're likely to get it in your mouth. Also, many of us do have skin reactions at the same time doctors are saying it can't happen. I wouldn't use sunscreen with oat kernel extract in it. Unless they're using certified oats (highly doubtful) you should consider it unsafe.

      No other tests. This was from about 10 years ago, I noticed it when checking through my all bloods to look for patterns.  I will go back to my doctor...

      Were there any other tests besides the EMA run for celiac disease? If not, you should request them. At minimum, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA" should be ordered. A more complete celiac panel would also include the DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. And very importantly, you should not have been reducing gluten consumption in the weeks/months leading up to the testing blood draw.

      I'm looking into it. I have several quite low vitamin results which I believe may be from malabsorption. B12, ferritin, folate, vit d all very low. Re-occuring mouth issues, gut issues.

      Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or are you looking into it?

      Thank you. There is no reference range mentioned unfortunately.
