Dh Relief

Last week I was suffering from some DH breakouts and hives (new makeup issue).  I went into my local Wallgreen's and decided to pick-up some new gluten free lotion to try.  I sampled Dove Cream Oil (extra dry skin/advanced formula) on my itchy arms and hands in the store.  I laughed to myself thinking, "I'm either going to feel a little better or a whole lot worse in about 30 minutes."

 

I liked the way the lotion felt on my skin and decided to purchase it.  I noticed on my drive home that I was no longer itching on my hands as I had all morning long.  I waited a few hours and my hands felt soft and calm.  I decided to go for the gusto and apply it to my whole body.  Same result.  My DH on my stomach, back, legs, and shoulders were no longer driving me insane.

 

I had a peaceful nights sleep for once!!!  So, I have been religiously this cream to my body for the past few days.  I actually feel normal.  WOW.  I forgot what that was like.

 

I am pleased to announce that my skin is calm.  No new breakouts.  My DH spots are healing & I have a new sense of hope that I can experience some relief!!!

 

It is very early on, but I really wanted to share this good news.  I know how miserable this itching can be and if this helps anyone else I will be so pleased.

 

 

Thank you.

Hmmm, that's interesting.  I may have to pick some up.  My daughter should try that.  She has rashes / dry skin all over her arms and legs that I'm starting to wonder if it isn't DH.  For my DH, I sometimes put preparation H on it which actually numbs it and helps with the itching.

It's no cure for sure, but my skin now is soft, it calms my itching within a few minutes, and I swear my reactions are left frequent. Good luck. I will have to try prep h too. Thanks!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
