Hello all. I am wanting to switch to a non-aluminum dedorant but I don't want to spend the money on one that doesn't work. I figured that someone may have some insight?

Any suggestions?

I use 2--one is a Tom's of Maine all natural deoderant. The 2nd is an aluminum-free Adidas. It works pretty well. Go here to see it: Open Original Shared Link

I've tried ALL of them LOL. The one that works best for me so far is Aubrey Organics E Plus High C. It's a roll on. Aubrey Organics makes a spray that's supposed to work pretty well too. Everything else I tried (Tom's of Maine, Nature's Gate, Crystal Stick etc.) made me smell worse. <_<

A lot of people have great luck with the crystal stick. It did not work for me though.

Funny you should bring this up! Last week, I started using a crystal deodorant--the only ingredient is mineral salts. You wet it, and rub it on. It dries almost immediately, and that's it. It is pretty warm and humid here right now, and it lasts right up until I take a shower the next morning--that's better than the conventional deodorant I was using! I have to thank Tiffany (Tarnelberry) for answering all of my questions about this a while back--it took me a while to try it, but now that I have, I love it. Also, there are no white marks or staining of any kind on my clothes--I wore a navy blue sleeveless top, and at the end of the day, there was not a mark on it.

I have been using the mineral salts deoderant for MANY years and love it. Someone I know, had just asked last Thursday about it as they also wanted to stop the aluminum kind. I got mine at a health food store.

It's just a deoderant though right?

I use Kiss My Face Liquid Rock, it's a deoderant.

You mean as opposed to an antiperspirant? Then yes.

Yes, I'm sorry jersey, having some power issues here and I couldn't get back on to edit.

Also, just in general to sdore, if you take the aluminum out then you are left with just deoderant. Aluminum is the active ingredient in deoderant/antiperspirants that blocks the pores/sweat glands in your armpits keeping you dry. Someone can correct me if I am wrong on that.

That's true. From what I understand though, the Adidas deoderant uses cotton so it still has antiperspirant qualities. Like little miniature pads for your armpits :lol:

I use Tom of Maine deodorant but I found it only covered me for about 6 hours and then I would start smelling like sweat so I also have other deodorant that is not natural:( ...I like the natural stuff

Exactly the same problem I had with Tom's. My husband uses it now with no odor problems. I prefer natural ones too. But I bought Adidas non-aluminum just to try it out.

I recenlty tried Adidas too. It worked well for about a week or so, then my skin turned bright red and started peeling off!

It does "stink" hehe. I think my skin is abnormal or something. Tom's gave me major problems too, but most people use both brands with no issues. Oh well...

I'm currently using Jason's Lavender deoderant and so far, it isn't too bad. Most I've used stinks.

Holy Adidas problem! I got a rash from Tom's too around the time that it stopped working.

I just came across some information that said when you first start using aluminum-free natural deodorants, your skin detoxes for several days, which can cause a strong odor. I wonder if this is true. Does anyone know? I'm wondering if some of the natural brands seem like they don't work so well in the beginning for this reason....

Can someone explain to me why aluminum deodorant would be bad for you?

I don't know--I'd never heard that. (Good thing, or I may not have tried the crystal!). In my case, I had never used anything except regular deodorant/antiperspirant before. The crystal worked for me right away--it actually lasts longer than the regular for me. Which brand did you try?

Mine seem to work in the beginning and then after a few weeks they don't work anymore. Who knows. I'll keep experimenting.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
