Dish Soap

This is not a "is there gluten in dish soap post". With that said, between my lovely elbow DH and scars and my bleeding hands from Dawn dish soap. (I do a heck of a lot of dishes and this stuff takes oil off of wildlife so it must be harsh) my arms don't look very pretty.

I bought some Palmolive Pure+Clear Dish Soap. It says no unnecessary chemicals ..to try. I was wondering what you other DH'ers use?

Thanks!

I have been allergic to Dawn since it first came on the market. I have for years used Palmolive Soft Touch w/ Aloe for dry skin. When the store is out of that I use regular Palmolive but the Soft Touch is gentler on my skin & still does a terrific job. I have not seen the Palmolive Pure & Clear but when I do I will be buying a bottle of it!

I think the real solution is that someone else should do the dishes! :D

Unless I can get Aidan (my 85 pound greyhound) to do them, it's all me! :lol:

I like kareng's suggestion! But I bought a large bottle of Dawn at Costco, and since it's so concentrated I have a smaller bottle that I refill about 1/3 to 1/2 with Dawn and add lukewarm water and turn the bottle around (upside down) several times until it mixes together. When I'm doing a LOT of dishes, my hands do get dry, so I sometimes use rubber gloves, and I found some Suave hand lotion that seems to work fine so far.

Great topic!

We've used Dawn for years since we do not have an automatic dishwasher. We usually use the "Hand Renewal" version (the pink, non-see through kind). Not too long ago, my hubby came home with the blue see through version. After that, I started having eczema problems again on my hands (mostly by my wedding ring) AND strangely enough, my finger tips started burning and hurting horribly when using the touch pad on my phone and laptop. I even went so far as to purchase a stylus since my finger tips hurt so badly that I couldn't even use my phone very well. I was so frustrated thinking that I'd discovered yet one more "weird thing" about my system.

Nothing had changed in my diet or anything else so all I could attribute it to was that version of Dawn.Whatever is in there was NOT making my poor hands very happy. So, when we finally finished that bottle, we went back to the hand renewal version and all is well. No more skin problems on my hands. So, keep in mind that the version of the dish soap might be a factor (as I'm sure many of you already know all too well). I don't know if it was gluten in there or not but there was definitely something in there that my hands reacted to.

Happy Dish Washing!!

I've noticed with the blue version that it is more harsh than any of the others. I had a large patch of skin that was cracked and irritated and it took some time to clear up.

Yup. That's what happened with me. At least we could identify it and remedy it.  :-)

I found Dawn free and clear a few weeks ago at Walmart, but I am even reacting to that, so only Palmolive free and clear for me. Weird thing is when I was younger, maybe 11 I reacted to every dish soap as well as body soap out there except Ivory.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
