Now why is this driving you nuts?? . . . It was something new, you eliminated it, now you feel better. Good job!! I looked at the ingredients. It's all very chemicalful . . . of course, most shampoo/conditioners are . . . so it's hard to tell what's in it/where it came from.

Because it's been 5 years, and no soaps or shampoos work for me for very long. :( All I do is eliminate things. I have to send away for soap--it's ridiculous.

I seriously wonder if it a multiple chemical sensitivity type of thing. I understand not all doctors recognize it, but I have just about every symptom.

I knew it wasn't a gluten issue--I just didn't know what could be causing it.

That sucks! (can I say that, cause it really does). Maybe you will have to go au naturale.

OK . . . I'm sure that you don't have anything else going on right now . . . but have you ever thought of making your own shampoo? Then you'd know what was in it.

Shampoo recipe: Open Original Shared Link

Castile can be purchased or it can also be made. Castile soap recipe: Open Original Shared Link

. . . at least you wouldn't have a bazillion chemicals to decipher.

Not naked. Just no soap, lotion, deodorant, etc. You may keep the clothes - unless you find you are allergic to cotton......

I was just kidding. :P I do use crystal deodorant and love it. I get soap from Dakota Free--about as pure as it gets with no cc worries. Hair stuff is a pain..... still have to figure out something for that. Maybe California Baby? That's really all I use most of the time other than some Everyday Minerals and Afterglow lipstick. I used to be a real product junkie, too B)

That's ok--I make up fer it in shoes and handbags :D

Yes--he has a very hard time :(

Well, last night I was feeling pretty good by the time I went to bed. Decided to lie down and read for a little while and about 10 minutes after getting into bed, my head went from no pain to feeling like someone was trying to hammer their way out of my skull.

I got up and went into the living room, and the pain started subsiding, so I took the sheets off the bed and put on fresh. Got back into bed, and no pain at all :huh: Even though it was a 'scent free' shampoo, it must have left some sort of chemical residue on the pillowcases. Woke up today without a headache for the first time in weeks.

Jeesh :rolleyes:

Just saw something on GMA about airline food. The FDA found that a lot of it was dangerous - not hot enough or cold enough, unclean prep, etc. Makes you glad that many airlines don't have gluten-free food. :P

Ouch, Pads, what a bummer to be so scensitive to 'scents'. I once went for a consultation with someone who asked me not to wear perfume or deodorant of any kind, but I had not washed my hair and there was hairspray residual. She asked me to leave and we did the consult over the phone :o T'is no laughing matter. My sister is supersensitive to chemical sprays and gets "dosed" almost every time she leaves the house :unsure:

Tis a bummer fer sure, Shroom. I've been sensitive to smells and things for a long time, but I think it's slowly been getting worse and causing all these weird sensations. The pillowcase thing last night really threw me fer a loop, but after reading on a few sites, I see that these things are common with chemical sensitivities. Who knew? :huh:

Do you know what yer sister uses to wash her hair by any chance? B)

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By cristiana · Posted

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      What should I do with these test results?

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
