Hi guys -

I just purchased Dove moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. I like it. Do any of you other celiacs use any of the other Dove products succesfully - like the Pro-Age stuff, face cleaners, soaps, etc.?

I'd like your opinions.

Thanks again - A

I use Dove for almost all my products: facial lotion, body lotion, body wash, hairspray, frizz controller, and often their shampoos/conditioners. I like it a lot. They have a couple of face lotions with oats (I believe they are the sensitive skin varieties of products), but that's the only source of gluten I've seen in any of their products, and I use almost all their stuff, so I feel safe with their products. Plus, I have very dry skin/hair, and their products are very moisturizing--yea Dove!

I'm glad to hear this. I'm switching my products to Dove just because of their real women campaign.

I use Dove - they are a Unilever company and will always label the sources of all of their ingredients. I've only ever seen one with oats.

I have used their bath soaps and am fine. I can't use their shampoos and conditioners, they just are not strong enough for my hair, very few are. I find that Pantene, Aussie, and Fruitis are the only ones able to tame this tiger, with Pantene being my favorite.

Deb, I understand with what you're saying as I have hair that also needs a shampoo that is not as gentle as Dove; we need shampoo with "detergent" in it (that's what my beautician says and also says it strips my hair too much, but she doesn't understand that the "gentler" shampoos don't cleanse it as well).

I use Dove bar soap in the shower, and their Anti frizz creme. I got a free sample of their shampoo and conditioner for dark hair from their website, and liked it.

I'm currently using Thermasilk, and like it also.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
