I have a heck of a time with shampoo. A lot of them give me sores on my head. Not sure if you can get DH on your head but they itch and ooze and scab over like DH so who knows.

I have been using Johnsons Baby Shampoo and although it has never given me sores, I don't think it has enough conditioning in it.

Oh YES! You can get dh on your head, in your ears, on your ears. Basically, you can get dh anywhere.

I use Suave Naturals --- gluten-free & cheap. But I use conditioner on my hair only from the neckline down. Again, you can use the Suave conditioner but I have just been using the conditioner that comes in my Loreal Superior Preference hair color (also gluten-free).

I don't have DH, but I did have lots of scabby yucky sores and a peeling, itching, red BURNY scalp that made me cry. It was yucky and I lost a lot of my hair when I was sick. :(

So, I used CLEURE for a long time (it is expensive, but it was gentle and free of everything we worry about--the brand name stands for CLEan and pURE)

Now I alternate between that and Garnier. My hair is not thick or luxurious and I do not use conditioner because it weighs it down. I need all the "floof" I can get. :)

I will check Suave out. Thank you. Funny you mention DH in ears. After I took Aleve (sals) I got the armpit DH and I had sores in my ears too and all along my hairline. Not on my scalp but hairline. It's scabbed over now but aghhh!

Do you react to Aleve or Advil with your DH?

Irish, Thank you! I am going to Google that right now. :)

I use California Baby shampoo and conditioner. They are gluten free as well as free of other common allergens. It has worked well for me.

Funny you should ask about the Aleve & Advil. The day after you posted about your cramps & taking an Aleve, I managed to pull a muscle in the side of my back over my ribs & I COULD NOT stand the pain & hadn't gotten to the compounding pharmacy yet so I took an Aleve b/c ice packs weren't getting it. Then had to break down & take a 2nd Aleve. I had some blisters break out when they HAD been on the wane. I would have done a few or more shots of Vodka but had none in the house. Middle of the night you know.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
