Since I went gluten-free, my acne cleared up on my back. I am wondering if the cracks in my nails may be next. Has anyone noticed changes in their nail health?

my nails are finally growing again and they are pretty strong, before goign gluten free they were brittle and would break down low. Now I actually have to file and clip them, first time in years.

Yes, after I started taking a sublingual methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), my nails slowly got better. They had become very thin for awhile.

My nails have gotten so much better since going gluten-free! My fingernails are stronger and the ridges I had (horozontal on thumbs and vertical on fingers) are gone. I have to trim them to keep them at the length I like.

My toenails (sorry to be gross :P ) are also so much more healthy.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I’m just worried about pre-existing conditions and my imminent loss of insurance. I’m self-employed. Finding insurance outside the ACA marketplace in Alabama is almost impossible even when you’re healthy. I still have 5 years before I’m eligible for Medicare. There is no treatment for Celiac except gluten avoidance. If Celiac disease becomes part of my medical history — even though the ‘treatment’ (gluten avoidance) is ‘free’ (only I can treat myself and it costs my insurance nothing), I might find myself uninsured if something like cancer arises in the next 5 years.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had to look up "TVP" and it is this product: https://www.bobsredmill.com/product/tvp-textured-veg-protein What type of test did you use? Was it a mail order kit, if so, what brand, or did you send out samples to be tested at a lab?

      Yes I have 2 eggs per day and I drink one cup of milk the. There's a big family meals which sometimes there is meat or finish or peans or our traditional foods .and then at night I make gluten free cakes which I eat with my protein shake . can you recommend for me things that I can buy and eat alone when I am hungry .do you think black molasses and spirilulina or moringa powder are good if I add them to my diet?

      1000 calories per day is not near enough to sustain your body's needs. You should be aiming for twice that much. You are in a borderline starvation mode and even apart from celiac disease that explains a lot of your medical issues. And you should be aiming for 75-100 gm of protein per day. Do you have access to eggs? Protein powders are good for supplementing protein should not become the main source of dietary protein as they lack any supporting necessary nutrients. Eggs are a nearly complete food, being an excellent source of protein, vitamins and healthy fats.
