Shiny Hair


mushroom

Recommended Posts

When I was younger I always had shiny, thick, healthy hair. The longer I lived the thinner it got until I almost had bald patches (i blamed it on various icky meds I had taken) and it lost its shine and sparkle, even lost some of its curl (not necessarily a bad thing :rolleyes: ) but used to hang rather lankly.

However, since being gluten free (and also taking a lot of supplements to cure my nutrient deficiencies) my hair is so much thicker and has that old shine back in it.

Anyone else had this happen?

Also, slowly but surely my fingernails seem to be regaining some strength.

I've always been fortunate with my hair but my nails....they are the pits! They are some stronger now than before. They can actually grow out a little! Nice!

I've had positive changes too. My hair had gotten very thin when I was sick, and slowly over time it's thickening up a little and is much healthier looking. There is also have less grey in it! :D

My nails also improved--I almost never break one anymore. They're all the same length--all I do anymore is file and buff. B)

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
