Hello Everyone,

I haven't posted for about two weeks. I was doing amazing! Still am, however, I am having an extrement amount of hairloss. It's been really bad the past year. I was at a church function tonight and ran my fingers through my hair and a handful of hair came out! I'm really involved with the children/youth ministry at church and a seven year old was standing in front of me and she said Miss Amie are you ok? Tears instantly came down my cheeks. She is the sweetest little girl ever and she just gave me the biggest hug...I'm absolutely pettrified. My boyfriend and my family all say it will pass, but I really don't want to loose my hair. When I wash my hair in the morning like 7 handfulls come out....It's so upsetting!

Please help!

Hair loss can be a symptom of iron-deficient anemia. And anemia is a symptom of gluten intolerance. Do you know what your iron level or red blood cell count is?

The doctor said everything is in order...and is fine....

Are you taking any gluten-free vitamins? A good biotin might help in addition to a good high level multi. Also check and make sure all your toiletries are gluten free and be really careful about cross contamination.

Many of us know how distressing this loss can be but hopefully it will stop soon. Your body has been under a lot of stress and as you heal it should resolve. It can seem like it takes forever for hair to grow back but most see regrowth in about 3 months.

I agree with RAvenwood. Take a multivitamin and up the Biotin and B12 with additional supplements. Both B12 and Biotin are not known to have any toxity level. Liquid form would be best for vitamins for quick absorbtion.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
