Crystal Deodorant Stone

I bought a product called Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone. The product is supposed to eliminate odor (not sweat) for 24 hours and is made of Mineral salt. My 11 year old is getting that stinky puberty thing going on and 2 showers a day is not working. With all the allergies he has I would rather not have him rubbing perfumes and chemicals into his skin. Before I have him try this I would love to hear some feed back from current or past users. Thanks

I use one. I alternate between this an normal deodrant. I have mixed thoughts about it. At times it seems to work fantastic, others I end up applying the deodorant over it after a few hours. I think it depends on how much I am sweating that day and if my body is trying to sweat out extra toxins.

My only complaint really is that it is like a roll on. It takes a few mintues to dry. I have been known to give it a blast from the hair dryer (on cold air) to speed up the drying process.

I have been using that product for over 2 years now and love it. For me, it works better than any deodorant I've ever used.

I think it would be ideal for your son :)

I used it as a teen, and not sure if it was a crazy hormone imbalance or what, but it didn't work at all for me. But if you have it already, you might as well give it a try! What is good for one isn't necessarily good for another ;)

My brother tried it - didn't work. I have a couple friends for whom it works great. Might depend on your personal chemistry and how much you sweat.

I've had one for almot a year now and really like it. I originally talked my husband into getting one b/c no matter what deodorant he got he would get a rash/discolorment under his arms. He has been using the crystal deodorant for a year now and his arm pits look normal and he likes the item -- sometime he says it does not work but majority of the time it does. We also got one for his mom who says she likes it (only brought up one time haha).

I did read somewhere can't remember where that "some" people the first week or two may smell while you are adjusting to the product. Something about the toxins leaving your body.

GOOD LUCK

Great feed back. My main concern was any reactions. Not everyone loved the product, but nobody claimed of any rash or reactions. Now we can give it a try. Thank you everyone!!

yup, works great for me. of course, it works great for odor caused by bacteria that live off of sweat - that's what most BO comes from. so, for some things (for me, an adult female, that means right around my period), it doesn't make much difference. but for what it is supposed to work on, it works great for me. I use the solid stick (takes less time to dry, for me), and the thing lasts for ever.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I would only add that cross contamination with wheat may still be a possibility, so it's still best to seek out buckwheat that is labeled "gluten-free."
