i need help with finding a company that sells hair coloring.,..preferably a national brand such as L'oreal,etc. My hair

used to be thick and full, now very thin and grey. I am assuming it is from malnutrition since my doctors cannot tell me

otherwise. This is very frustrating to me.

Before going wheat-free, I had bad hair loss, and like you, the quality of my hair had deteriorated as well. It was really important that I switched to wheat-free hair products.

My dermatologists suggested against using any kind of hair coloring on my hair, because the harsh chemicals in hair dye products will only add to the hair's damage.

That said, I don't know about any brand name products, but I personally use an all natural henna product and I've never had a problem with it. I get it from a local Indian grocery store. It works really well at coloring my hair too, and doesn't wash out after a few weeks like some of the name brands do.

Hope that helped, and best of luck!

I like Ferea by Loreal. The last I used it, it was gluten-free.

Any gluten is likely to be in the conditioner--read through the ingredients to be safe, whichever brand you choose. :)

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Ooh thanks for all the info I'll check them out, though I may not be functional after 6 slices for 6 weeks 😅

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Your experience is incredibly common and frustrating for many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community, and it's especially challenging with the added layer of healthcare disparities for people of African descent. A negative endoscopy and blood panel, while the gold standard, are not infallible and can miss cases, particularly if you weren't consuming a significant amount of gluten leading up to the tests (the "gluten challenge"). Your dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet is the most critical piece of evidence here—your body is giving you the answer the tests could not. The symptoms you're describing now, especially the dyshidrotic eczema and blister bumps, are huge red flags for a gluten-related disorder, and your GP dismissing the possibility of dermatitis herpetiformis without a biopsy is a significant oversight. Requesting a new dermatologist and specifically asking for a skin biopsy next to an active lesion (not on it) is the absolute best next step. In the meantime, documenting your symptoms with photos and a food/symptom diary will build a powerful case for yourself. While the financial burden of a gluten-free diet is very real, your health is the priority; perhaps focusing on naturally gluten-free whole foods like rice, beans, and vegetables, rather than expensive processed substitutes, could be a more sustainable path forward until you can get a definitive opinion.
