Any hair growth improvements???
Yes, it's much better than it was, but still not a "thick" as I would like it. No bald patches anymore though (yaay!) . I remain hopeful.

Misdiagnosed for 25+ years; finally DXed on 11/01/10. I figured it out myself. Double DQ2 genes. This thing tried to kill me. I view Celiac as a fire breathing dragon --and I have run my sword right through his throat.

Hi, I had hair loss too...clogging the shower and back then I was dx'd hypothyroid.....that was 2 years ago. Also it grew slowly, along with my nails that became dry, ridgey and brittle and hardly grew. I have been gluten free almost 5 weeks now, hair isn't falling out as much, skin and nails are much better.....now if I can gain some weight!

My daughter lost a huge amount of hair - very upsetting for her, as she was only eleven at the time. Good news is that after several months the hair loss stopped and her hair is not as thick as it ever was.

I had a problem as well, my Dr tested me for a bunch of things and for me I had a Folic Acid Defiency. Since I started taking Folic acid daily it has improved and the excessive hair loss has stopped.

Yep. I lost a lot of my hair. It had been thinning for about 18 months and it wasnt until i realised i hadnt had it cut in a year (trying to 'grow it' ) and it was half the length and thickness. I have been gluten free since october last year when i was diagnosed and its starting to get its thickness back but very slowly 
My brand new hairdresser before she even knew about my coeliac told me she could see fresh hair growing. I was so relieved. Dont worry once everything is under control it should grow back
