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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
