Dove Opinons

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.

Thanks guys - I've sort of decided to switch all my products, too!

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.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
