Hair Thinning Products

[joyce]

I think I might have posted this in the wrong section but does anyone know of a gluten-free hair product for thinning hair. Anybody else out there having hair loss problems even after being gluten free for years ? thanks

No I wish I knew. Someone sent me the name of some kind of hair loss treatment--but it looked like rogaine or something like that.

I used to use Nioxin with good results but had to quit a few weeks ago when I found it all contained gluten (every product), and now am losing hair again.

I'm going to keep searching. If I find anything i'll let you know. I am going to call Nioxin 800 number on Mon.also . They have 8 different system on the web. site. System 2 contain oat something but I'll see what they say away. Other Celiac"s have heard that you have to actually digest gluten to have a reaction but I'm still uncomfortable using gluten anything. We'll find something

Yes, the problem is that how do you keep from ingesting when it runs into your mouth in the shower? Or how do you keep your hands from touching your hair through the day, etc.? When it gets on your hands it often gets to your mouth.

There seems to be a different degree of sensitivity among celiacs too. Although many report getting more and more reactive after going gluten-free.

I wrote to Nioxin and they confirmed I shouldn't use their products.

My decision is to keep the Nioxin put away someplace in the house. Months from now if I get well, then I will re-try to see if I can use it with using gloves, etc.

I called Nioxin this morning to enquire about their products. I told her I had Celiac and she surprisingly said the products are gluten-free because they are topical . Of course she gave the old( contact your doctor first before using) . I'm going to give it a try by washing my hair in the sink instead of the shower. If I wear my hair up like a french roll or something I find that I dont touch it at all during the day and at night I been using a pony tail because my neck has been braking out with pimples too. I am soon to be 50 and I believe my hair thinning is hormone related. Your plan sounds good also. Take care and Lord bless you

I just know when I stopped using it, I had a clear improvement in the "ups and downs" that I had at first going gluten free. Good luck.

I have the same promblem with my hair--makes me crazy! I did some googling and found this produdt called PROVILLUS for Women and it (according to the compnay) is gluten free. It is a supplement so I have ordered some...had a hard time finding gluten-free hair products to deal with the thinning hair situation.
