Hand Wash

What do those of you with DH use as handwash? I live in Dubai and am struggling to find gluten free options available here.

I haven't been tested for DH but from all the info/pictures on this website am convinced that that is what I have on my hands (and elbows and face). Dermatologist has told me to use QV Wash but as I'm not sure that he knows much about celiac disease and/or DH I am wary of trying this. I have emailed the manufacturers for info but no reply as yet.

Ingredients are listed as: aqua, sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerin, lauryl betaine, disodium cocamphodiacetate, sodium cocoyl isethionate, peg-120 methyl glucose dioleate, glycol stearate, methylparaben, citric acid, propylparaben - does anyone know if that lot are "safe"?

Thanks in advance for any info/advice.

I had DH and gluten on my skin does not trigger DH reactions. It's not something I worry about.

That appears to be mostly coconut based and I don't see anything that looks like it could have gluten. I also have DH and do avoid it in topicals since anything I use on my skin can get into my mouth.

If you have DH you should also avoid iodine in foods until you have been clear for a while as iodine will reactivate the antibodies.

      Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins.  One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.”   I clean and separate the banana from the bunch and store in the refrigerator.  The outside peel may turn color, even black, but the banana inside does not get overripe so they can last a long time.

      I only intend to do the blood screen. I also fully intend to remove gluten from my diet whether the test is positive or negative.  I’d just like to know, even if it’s inconclusive, if Celiac might be the cause my life-long gastrointestinal distress. If the test is positive, I’ll assume that I probably have Celiac, like my sister. If it’s negative, I’ll assume that I may have a gluten intolerance/allergy — or not.  My quest will end there. My belly problems don’t render my life insufferable. My sister’s diagnosis (positive blood and biopsy) just made me curious whether I have Celiac, too. Either way, I’m done with gluten as soon as I give the blood sample on Wednesday 👍🏼

      Keep in mind that a celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps: 1. blood antibody testing and 2. if there are positive antibody test scores, an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining. You have only mentioned the first in your strategizing.

      There are about 8 grams of protein in an egg and also in a cup of milk. About 90 calories in an egg and around 100 to 120 calories in a cup of milk, depending on the fat content. To increase your calorie intake with food items that are also nutritionally dense, concentrate on seeds and nuts. They are high in fat content, so lots of calories, but also rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a moderately good source of protein as well. Black molasses is a good source of calories but not such a good source of vitamins and minerals so don't go overboard on it. It is somewhat better than table sugar from a nutritional standpoint, however. Spirilunia and moringa powder I am not familiar with but I doubt there is much calorie value there and it is refined so I doubt that they would be a great source of vitamins.
