A Soap That I Found That Helps The Itch

I usually buy my Dove bar soap at the Dollar General Store because it is close to my house and cheaper. I was using Dove Unscented for Sensitive Skin. They were out of that variety so I bought Dove Cool Moisture Green Tea and Cucumber scent. I don't know what the deal is with it but it calms down my DH, especially the underarm DH. Plus it smells awesome. I am thinking that the Dove Shampoo of the same scent might be good for my scalp and ear DH. DH behind the ears is so effin' annoying! ;):P:(

Thanks for the info, I too have been using the Sensitive Skin and almost bought the Green Tea this time, but whimped out, I will have to give it a try.

DH behind the ears is very annoying, especially if you wear glasses...ugh!

Does it actually have cucumber and green tea in it? I think they use those things in "natural" facials to soothe skin. Glad you found something so easy and cheap!

I don't think it has real green tea and cucumber but it smells like it does. What do you expect for 5 bucks for like 8 bars. lol :P

All of the Dove soaps smell great! Glad they are all Gluten-Free. :D

There is a Dove Unscented for sensitive skin. Do the scents bother your DH or you can't do scents b/c of allergies or something else? I am pretty sensitive to scents that smell fake like Febreeze and Downy fab. softener but the Dove scents I find don't bother me at all.

All scents annoy me except essential oils. It's hard to tell of scents bother my DH because it bothers me so badly otherwise that I'm just annoyed and sneezy and itchy from them. My ND says its liver congestion.

I tried to smell it but the "collective stench" from everything in that section made everything the same. I didn't see anything startlingly different on the ingredients except maybe palm oil??

The unscented Dove is pretty good too. I know what you mean about the stench, I get that feeling in the laundry and bread and bakery isle.

I think it's time for me to get rid of the crystal stick deodorant. It's making things worse with the salts.

I couldn't use it on my pits. It just burned like a SOB.

I found a Tom's that was ok but I have no idea if it's corn free, low sals....Dove ended up working best for me but I know it bothers you.

I have seen that Tom's at Walgreens. I'll have to check it out. The sals are killing me right now. I ate steak with a billion green, red and yellow peppers and now i'm a mess. I guess I have to start taking sals very seriously from now on.

You are right, it sucks!

Yes, whatever your main ancillary aggravation is - you must deal with to get that first "lay down".

I found its much easier once you find the biggest trigger and control it (aside from gluten).

For me it was iodine. Especially carageenan and egg yolks. And omg seaweed (sushi).

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
