As Silly As This Sounds.....

Hi, this may sound silly as I know acrylic nails are not a necessity however they make me feel so much better when I have them on. I do my own nails with tips and acrylic overlays and just the last month and a half I've had a hard time with them not lifting after 4-5 days. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm gluten free since July of this year...........just wondering if the inside of my body is reacting to my nails....

Pam,

I also wear acrylic nails - for 13 years now - and I have been having more trouble with lifting since I went gluten-free about seven weeks ago. In fact, it doesn't even take a few days for them to lift, I find myself applying nail glue to free edges almost as soon as I'm done applying the acrylic.

When I first started wearing nails, we had a lot of trouble with mine lifting, in fact, my first set popped right off like some kind of press-on nails. My nail tech and I experimented and found that using both OPI's Bond-Aid and Creatives' Acid-Free Primer worked best for me. My nail tech became a stay at home mom nine months ago, and I've been doing my own nails ever since. I have an appointment with a new nail tech on Tuesday, and I'm hoping that she can help me figure out a way to stop the lifting.

I have been gluten-free since May and I haven't had a problem with mine. I actually had a problem with them lifting beforeI went gluten-free and now they are fine!

Kate, thank you for shedding some information that totally sounds like what's happening to me. I'm going to try and see a nail tech that I know & see if she can't help me as well with the lifting. Mine also start lifting within 4 days......ugh. I'm still nail free and I don't like it...........Thanks Again. You by chance aren't in IL are you......

Pam,

I live in southern Indiana. In addition to the usual Bond-Aid/Acid-Free Primer combo, the new nail tech used Creatives' Retention liquid, which has their Acid-Free Primer in it. One week later, none of my fills have lifted. Hooray!

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
