Coping With.....

Fingernail growth....

Holy cow. My fingernails are going to put me in Guinness Book of World Records. I have to cut them almost every day now.

From my picture, you can see I'm bald... I had a hair grow out the middle of my bald head - close down to what used to me my hairline... It grew out, overnight, about 2 inches.

I used to cut my fingernails once or twice a month. This past week I've had to cut them twice and need to again today.

I am so happy to be getting this new lease on life. :D

Even before I was diagnosed my hair and nails grew fast. However, there is a difference gluten free. My hair and nails are not as brittle, healthier looking and thicker. My nails always were very soft and would peel. I also would have white marks all over them. Now they are very strong and clear.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
