NEUTROGENA I DONT THINK IS SAFE?? I COULD NOT GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER OUT OF THEM.. THEY TOLD ME TO USE THE DAILY DANDRUFF SHAMPOO AND I HAD THE PHARMACIST READ THE LABEL- TOO SMALL FOR ME GOOD THING I DID BECAUSE IT WAS NOT SAFE WHEAT PROTIENS WAS THE FRIST THING ON THE LIST

HELP!!!!!!! AND ITS BAD!

IT IS SO BAD THAT LAST WEEK A TEACHER BETWEEN CLASSES WENT TO THE SCHOOL NURSE AND TOLD HER THEY CALLED HER DOWN TO CK.. THE NURSE EVEN ASKED HER WHY WE WERE NOT TREATING IT AND MY DAUGHTER TOLD HER THAT WE HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS AND THAT NONE ARE HELPING! SO THE SEARCH CONTINUES. AND YES THE NURSE KNOWS THAT MY DAUGHTER IS gluten-free..

THE TEACHER MUST OF THOUGHT IT WAS BUGS! SHAME ON THEM.. I WAS SO ANGRY.. BUT ITS NOT LITTLE FLAKES- ITS ALMOST LIKE CHUNKS.. MY MUM SAYS IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE CRADLE CAP- I KNOW USE BABY OIL BUT I CAN NOT COVER HER ENTIRE HEAD WITH BABY OIL!!!

Sounds like a description of my head, only I have psoriasis. I would take her to a dermatologist for help. All I know is that nothing helps my head, unfortunately. I have white scales like an albino alligator that flake off and fall around me so that I look like a white Pigpen in Peanuts, because I have to scrape them off or they drive me crazy :lol: I have tried all the shampoos, prescription and non-prescription; use a daily preparation (non-oily) from a dermatologist, and they just persist. Sorry to not be more optimistic, but I think a dermatologist should check her out.

I used Burt's Bees on my daughter, but... I found out she wasn't rinsing her hair well enough. A lot of what I thought was dandruff was dried shampoo! What we did for a while was to have her mix some baking powder through her hair prior to washing, to soak up the excess oil. Then shampoo for a full 60 seconds and rinse really well.

If this doesn't help, then you should talk her to a dermatologist. It could be some other problem.

THANKS THATS WHAT I THOUGHT TOO. BUT EVEN IF I WASH HER HAIR AND LET ME TELL YOU A 15 YO DOESNT WANT THAT.. IT DIDNT HELP ANY EITHER. I GUESS ITS TIME FOR THE DERMO.. I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT SO BAD.. ITS LIKE CHUNKS!...

I agree that it sounds like psoriasis. T-gel Extra has helped me a lot. I can't say whether or not it's gluten-free, but it doesn't matter to me.

Thanks Richard,

I had tried the T-Gel on her.. it had helped somewhat, but her hair is so fine we could actually see damage happening.. and major amounts of hair breakage after use of 1x a week!.. But thanks for helping..

my 7 yr old boy had this, teachers would think it was lice before they looked closely. I read somewhere that it's often yeast-related. We have had good success clearing it up (still has a little, but much less and it's continually diminishing) with him eating spoonfuls of extra-virgin coconut oil and putting it on his skin and occasionally scalp after a shower and giving his hair a good brush when it's wet (to loosen). When I've put it on his scalp he looks like a little grease slick, so it gets washed out before leaving the house! It's expensive stuff, but quite delicious.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
