A Soap That I Found That Helps The Itch

I usually buy my Dove bar soap at the Dollar General Store because it is close to my house and cheaper. I was using Dove Unscented for Sensitive Skin. They were out of that variety so I bought Dove Cool Moisture Green Tea and Cucumber scent. I don't know what the deal is with it but it calms down my DH, especially the underarm DH. Plus it smells awesome. I am thinking that the Dove Shampoo of the same scent might be good for my scalp and ear DH. DH behind the ears is so effin' annoying! ;):P:(

Thanks for the info, I too have been using the Sensitive Skin and almost bought the Green Tea this time, but whimped out, I will have to give it a try.

DH behind the ears is very annoying, especially if you wear glasses...ugh!

Does it actually have cucumber and green tea in it? I think they use those things in "natural" facials to soothe skin. Glad you found something so easy and cheap!

I don't think it has real green tea and cucumber but it smells like it does. What do you expect for 5 bucks for like 8 bars. lol :P

All of the Dove soaps smell great! Glad they are all Gluten-Free. :D

There is a Dove Unscented for sensitive skin. Do the scents bother your DH or you can't do scents b/c of allergies or something else? I am pretty sensitive to scents that smell fake like Febreeze and Downy fab. softener but the Dove scents I find don't bother me at all.

All scents annoy me except essential oils. It's hard to tell of scents bother my DH because it bothers me so badly otherwise that I'm just annoyed and sneezy and itchy from them. My ND says its liver congestion.

I tried to smell it but the "collective stench" from everything in that section made everything the same. I didn't see anything startlingly different on the ingredients except maybe palm oil??

The unscented Dove is pretty good too. I know what you mean about the stench, I get that feeling in the laundry and bread and bakery isle.

I think it's time for me to get rid of the crystal stick deodorant. It's making things worse with the salts.

I couldn't use it on my pits. It just burned like a SOB.

I found a Tom's that was ok but I have no idea if it's corn free, low sals....Dove ended up working best for me but I know it bothers you.

I have seen that Tom's at Walgreens. I'll have to check it out. The sals are killing me right now. I ate steak with a billion green, red and yellow peppers and now i'm a mess. I guess I have to start taking sals very seriously from now on.

You are right, it sucks!

Yes, whatever your main ancillary aggravation is - you must deal with to get that first "lay down".

I found its much easier once you find the biggest trigger and control it (aside from gluten).

For me it was iodine. Especially carageenan and egg yolks. And omg seaweed (sushi).

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
