Disposable Razors

I generally used Gillette razors and have NEVER had any problems...but my sister bought some Bic disposables and she decided she didn't like them and she passed them off to me.

I have never had good luck w/ Bic razors and should have gotten off my lazy shell and gotten to the store before putting myself in a position to only have the Bic razors on hand to use but that didn't happen.

SO...I used the Bic and the result is itchy, itchy, itchy shaved legs!!! :wacko:

Does anyone know if those little strip things on the razors can have gluten in them and maybe that's the cause of my itchy itch??

Oh yeah, the Bics have been tossed in the trash and i'm off to the store for my Gillettes! See ya! :P

I don't know what brand I bought just recently - but I

thought they didn't have the little aloe strips on them -

well after breaking out with red itchy patches - I looked

and lo and behold they DID have the tiny strips on them.

I am allergic to all kinds of things - so lesson learned

examine a lot closer!

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      4 Years and very little progress

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!
