hi to all i wish to say hello.

i was told i had celiac disease about two years ago.I am still getting used to the diet but the doctors in hospital, could not agree that i was a celiac as i had a false positive result finally they told me that i was a celiac my bloods kept coming back high as was my older sister (r.i.p)

i have a question my hair is thinning and is bugging me i have heard on this site, that there is gluten in shampoo if so does any one know which ones. my doctor says that it is just natural most men lose there hair.

thanks

James

Welcome James!

We have the shampoo discussion alot. In the upper right corner of your screen, we have a google search of this forum. Just search shampoo. Watch the dates because products change. But I know we have had some mentioned in the last few months.

Hi, Nice to meet you. I am pretty new too. I used these forums for all kinds of quick lookups before joining. :)

In my effort to find gluten-free Shampoo and Conditioner, I found this company. Not only is it gluten-free, but they also say their products help with hair loss. I bought their stuff, but it was not what I was looking for in a haircare system. I had long hair and wanted typical shampoos and conditoners, this stuff is not typical. It is all about scalp cleansing, detoxing, and hair growth. So if you are interested, here is their link:

Hope it helps and good luck!

Suave, Dove and Garneir all will clearly label gluten ingredients. If you prefer organic Himalaya makes some great stuff and label their gluten free items and I think Giovanni and Shikai also label well.

However if you are not strict with the diet it may be what is going into you not onto you that is contributing to the hair loss. Do your best to be strict with the diet. If you need help with that we are here to answer any questions you may have and welcome to the board.

Hello!

I'm pretty new here too..I just wanted to welcome you.

I hope you find some answers as to the cause of your hair loss. Checking your hair care products sounds like a great way to start?

Also, have you had your thyroid checked? If it's acting up it can cause hair loss too..just a thought?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD.   You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD.   You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate).  A magnesium glycinate is fine, too.  Doctor's Best is a good brand.  Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect.   Be sure to take the B Complex.  The Benfotiamine and TTFD will need the other B vitamins.

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
