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?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
