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.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
