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

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
