Pain in the hair and hair loss - symptom on Celiac disease ?


Krasimir

Recommended Posts

Krasimir Newbie

I am a man of 32 years.

At 18, I got my first pain in scalp and hair loss. I started looking for the problem and I was with many doctors . No one found the cause The pain was so strong like "hair is burning" .
I noticed that when I eat a lot of carbohydrates I had severe pain and most hair loss . I have a same problems when i drinking alcohol. I stop everything.

The burning in hair was so intense that I poured cold water on it ...

I didn't know about gluten then, so I decided to stop eating carbs . The hair immediately began to grow.

It was hard to live without any carbs. I started reading and learned about Celiac and gluten.

I did a gluten test, but it turns out I'm not allergic to gluten.

Some have had such pain in the hair/burning scalp from gluten ?

Burning hair and scalp are a symptom of high blood sugar.  High blood sugar is a symptom of celiac disease.  The blood tests for celiac are inaccurate. get retested.

Kasimir, can you be more specific about the test you did for gluten. What kind of test was it? What is the name of it? There are some blood antibody tests specifically designed for diagnosing celiac disease. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/screening-and-diagnosis/screening/ These tests detect antibodies that are produced by the inflammation in the small bowel being cause by celiac disease. But if you have already stopped consuming gluten it will render the tests invalid since inflammation is no longer happening.

Celiac disease is not an allergy and therefore cannot be diagnosed by allergy testing. It is an autoimmune disease that damages the villi that line the small bowel. The villi are responsible for absorbing the nutrients from the food we eat. When the villi become significantly damaged by untreated celiac disease we begin to suffer nutrient deficiency symptoms, no matter how well we eat. Hair loss can be a symptom of nutrient deficiency.

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.

      Hi @Mettedkny I’ve had the same problem with Xiromed Progesterone 100 Caps. I’m very careful about gluten and only have had gluten “gut issues” since starting these. I previously had another brand, and no problems. So, even if Xiromed says “gluten free” perhaps in the manufacturing process there is gluten cross-contamination. I’m already requesting a different manufacturer to see if there is improvement.

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?
