Scalp / Kinds Of Itch

Hi all,

I have been ignoring this part of the forum up till now so scuse me.

1. The talk lately of scalps makes me ask this. I pick stuff like brown glass fragments out of my hair. Before it turns into this I can't of course see what it's like nor can anyone else as I live singly. Any one got any insight into this?

2. A mention by someone of an itch that's different from a histamine reaction (sting, bite) makes me ask, anyoner give more detail on this, I want to think around how I'm feeling a bit more than I was doing and this might give me some insights.

:huh::unsure:

gapspan,

Can't help you with the "brown glass". Perhaps you are scratching and breaking the skin. Regarding odd itching scalp. I was using a hair gell that had wheat oil or some other derivitive. I switched to something else and the odd itch went away in about a week.

LOL. Love the topic description! Thanks for the laugh!

To add a 3rd question... does anyone have premature balding/thinning? I'm 27. Noticed about 10 years ago that my hairline seemed to be receeding. About a year ago I started to notice my hair thinning in that typical spot where guys always go bald (I am female). It was confirmed by my friend (who is a hairdresser) when she trimmed my hair a few months ago. She was just like, "Hey, you're getting old! You're going bald right here" and she ruffled the existing hair in the thin spot. I know stress can cause it too, and I have tons of stress.... but curious if it's a symptom of celiac.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
