Hair...just Another Improvement :)

I remember always wanting to have long hair, but it would get right to my shoulders and always look really stringy since it's thin and fine, so I kept it shorter.  I lost hair each day, but I didn't think it was too much of it and knew that losing a little bit each day was completely normal.  Fast forward to now and my almost 10 months gluten-free, and not only is my hair below my shoulders, it finally looks healthy and only a few strands come out each day.  

 

I keep seeing things change that I thought were normal, and really it was my body's way of telling me, "Hey!  Something is not right here."  

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Great!  My daughters always wanted longer hair!  Maybe it will happen one day.  Mine got real short just before I went gluten free.  I never lost handfuls, but it sure was thin.

Me too! My hairdresser is really impressed by how much thicker and longer it's getting. Lovely, isn't it? (Although I've just gluten myself tonight for the first time :( hope it doesn't all fall out!)

Jealous. I have super fine hair, and while it doesn't come out in clumps, it definitely doesn't like to stay in my head. It's longer than it's been in ages, cause I let it grow (and now have to deal with more tangles), but thin (and thinning hair) is just part of my genetic inheritance.
I think if it was a gluten problem for me, I'd have twice as much hair by now (if only!)

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar. I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke. I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it. My bite shifted and the TMJ went away. I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      So, since total iga 646, was high , was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease. Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded...

      Fiber Supplement

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

The total IGA test is given to determine if you are IGA deficient. In the case of IGA deficiency, other IGA tests will b skewed and their scores cannot be trusted. Elevated total IGA can point to other health issues, some of them potentially serious, or it can mean nothing. But it doesn't look like you have celiac disease.

If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?
