Hair vitamins

[Thesummer]

Hello.. I am new to this forum so I am not quiet sure if I am doing it right. 

I've had Celiac since Summer 2012 I live in the middle east where people don't take what I have seriously. I've had an okay doctor until I realized that she did not tell me I have UC until I was told by another doctor anyways I never used to take medication because I didn't feel the need to recently I started taking Asacol a lower dose from what my doctor prescribed because I don't have a lot of hair and after taking Asacol it's making my hair fall much more than before my eyebrows are thinning and my eyelashes as well which is upsetting me so much I tried Pentasa same thing.

I know Biotin makes your hair grow and makes it thick BUT for some reason they don't sell it here anymore and I cannot order it online I don't know if its harmful or what is going on exactly. I used Hait Vit for sometime and it was great but now it's not working for me even though it says that it gluten free I'm guessing it's not. Priorin is also a good vitamin for the hair but it's not gluten free. I don't want to stop taking my medication because of my hair but I'm desperately looking for a solution I'm 24 years old and I barely blow-dry my hair I don't know if anyone tried PRP and if it's any good? and If there is another gluten free vitamin supplements that I take? hopefully that i can find here.

 

Thank you

Hi Thesummer,

I don't have answers to your question, but I wanted to welcome you!  

Even here in America, celiac is difficult to diagnose and often not taken seriously. 

Is "UC" ulcerative colitis?  Have you spoken to your doctor about the medication making your hair fall out?

Hello SLLRunner

Thank you that's very sweet I'm really thankful for this website.

Yes I did, I search about it and I found that Mesalazine can cause hair loss (Mayoclinic) and I told him but he doesn't think it's that of a big deal. I've seen a few dermatologists they gave me shampoos ,conditioners and hair serums but they make my hair feel terrible or suggested I try PRP which costs 530$ a session I need 4 to 6 thats if it actually works I read mixed reviews about it.. wouldn't want to spend money on nothing you know..

I also wanted to note that I've been checking all the hair products if they include any gluten ingredients and as far as I know they don't.

Yes, UC is Ulcerative Colitis and I have Celiac.

 

Thank you again

I take Viviscal Proffessional, which was suggested by dermatologist here in the US. I buy it on Amazon. While it hasn't helped with the main hair loss, my eyebrows and eyelashes are growing back. Hopefully my hair will start growing back at some point as well.  Good luck with your search.  I understand how distressing this is. By the way, it is gluten free and one of the ingredients is Biotin.
