Want To Stop Itching?

HI

I've learned so much from the forum and now I'll share a product you all have talked about.

I was itching so badly and have seen so many posts about this and esp today with the Dove soap thread.

I just know this product has WORKED LIKE A MIRACLE FOR ME.

I got the body lotion, shampoo and conditioner and stopped itching right away.

I got the small bottles to sample to see if it worked and then went back and ordered the large bottles.

The nice thing is you order on line and all shipping costs are $3.99 no matter how much you order.

It comes within 2-3 days of getting your order. I think i ordered it at 11:00 pm on a Tuesday nite and had it on Thurs or Fri that same week.

I know there have been other posts re: this product on line so if you want to do a 'search' using the name I'm sure you'll find alot of other people who have good things to say.

Last time they threw in a free bar of soap to try.

Love this company.

I hope it works for you! I also hope this is the correct web site. I'm afraid to minimize this to ck and risk losing it. Do a PM to me at judy@jl-studio.com and i'll send it to you if this doesn't work.

when did you send it?

about 1/2 hr ago.

It was a cut and paste from the post re: test results

My test results on on that thread.

I also sent one to the gal who you just wrote to re: colon test and prep and don't know where it went either.

Hope you had a great Turkey day.

Welcome to the board. Are you being strict with the gluten free diet and avoiding iodine? While DH doesn't need iodine to flare iodine will keep the antibodies in the skin and increase the intensitiy of a gluten reaction.

Go with as much whole food as you can and be really strict with food, preperation and toiletries and the DH will go away but it does take time.

I've head to toe itching from June this year. I messed around with mistakes, tempations and after month or so of grief I got serious about going gluten-free. I started healing but I would still be itching all day/night.

NOTE: This is extreme and certainly not necessary for most forum members.

But CindyLouWho26 you might like to hear what is finally working for me:

FOOD:

I have had to get super super strict with my diet. 90% or more is meat, veg, fruit. I eat rice or rice noodles some days. There is one gluten-free brand of cereal (and only rice or corn flakes, rice pasta. Any of the ones containing too many ingredients is a problem) that I can tolerate.

This has allowed me a lot of freedom to experiment. Added raisins one day and spent 24 hours itching like crazy. Baked gluten-free cupcakes and only ate a little bit and itched. I have been able to add a tiny little bit of gluten-free soysauce. And yesterday I tried a gluten-free satay/peanut sauce that I didn't react to. Yey! finally something with flavour and no crazy additives.

HOUSEHOLD CLEANING:

I wear gloves to do the dishes and clean the house. I found any detergents irritated lumps and bumps on my wrist/hands.

Double check your laundry detergent. I use liquid as the powdered ones gave me trouble for years.

BATHROOM:

I have been washing myself (hair included) with bicarb soda. I hadn't had much luck finding safe products that were affordable (I'm in Australia). I did this reluctantly and doubtfully but figured it was worth having a go! Ive been doing this for about four weeks and my skin is so good now!! I won't be rushing out to replace that bicarb soda ;)

I'm going to try something natural(such as avocado, for conditioner).

I've avoided makeup for years ((I now know why :blink: ))

I'm still use a nasty ingredient deoderant but only if I need it and hope to replace that with something natural.

In the last four weeks I have had a *massive* improvement in my itching. I had a rough night last night after too much seafood but all day today is probably the most itch-free day I've had since all this started. And I am saving a LOT of money.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
