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.

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
