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?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers? 
    • Scott Adams
      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?

      same! how amazing you have a friend who has celiac disease. i find myself wishing i had someone to talk about it with other than my partner (who has been so supportive regardless)
    • RMJ
      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.
