Another 'does This Happen To You' ?

I am knocking on the door of 50. Other than the Celiac disease and other auto-immune related disorders, I am very active, healthy and fit. I have never in my life had problems with oily hair or skin. Not dry, just normal (if that word can be applied to me, this would probably be the only place! :D )

I have been gluten-free since November and have enjoyed a relatively good past month of not too many stomach related issues. Starting to get the hang of this lifestyle and starting to enjoy life again.

However, I have noticed a little oddity. Where I once used a normal amount of moisturizer for my skin and conditioner for my hair, I have had to cut Wayyyyy back on both because now I am tending towards the oily side. No breakouts or anything. Just shiny more often than not and the hair is positively limp if I use much conditioner at all. I have switched to conditioning only a couple of times a week, which does help. I haven't changed brands so I don't think that could be an issue.

My question: Has this happened with anyone else? Is it related to nutritional absorption because my gut is healing? I don't eat oily or fried foods. (Can any Celiac actually do that and get away with it without serious stomach issues to follow?) Or could it just be that good old standard for everything else that goes to hell in a hand basket...AGE?

Just curious.

I am a hairdresser. And your hair and nails are the last place to get nutrients. So if you have a malnuricment disease your hair and nails will suffer. but if your hair was dry and damaged it could mean you live in a dry area, your hairs not getting enough nutrients or you have dameged it by coloring or highlighting it to much.

Oily hair is not that bad, it means you are getting nutrients that you need and healthy hair tends to be oily. Aquauge has a great line of products that are gluten free. The equalizing shampoo should help with that Hopefully that helped

And i got diagnosed in September and my hair sucks right now. Its not healthy

Thank you! That does help. Guess I must being doing something right with my nutrition then. Can you purchase those products at a beauty supply store or are they something you have to order from a specialty store?

Thank you for your help.

The sell them at exclusive salons you may have to call around to find it, but the color care shampoo, healing condition, equalizing, the working spray, straightning gel, volumizing spray. When i contacted them they got me in touch with there scientist who also told me anything with sd alcohol could contain wheat. Most arosol hairspray is bad. But there beyond thermal and shine spray contains gluten but theres no cross contamination

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      I asked about the new fruit and nut one and the Dietician said yes I could eat it safely. Hooe this helps

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
