Hi all. I haven't been on here for a while but had a question about my skin. I was diagnosed celiac based on a biopsy. Then after a couple months the doctor sent the same biopsy off to another pathologist who said it wasn't positive. Needless to say, I'm much better going gluten free and with the unclear diagnosis, have remained gluten free. No more vomiting, no more nausea, much less stomach pains, etc.

Anyways, I had dinner at my son's house the other night. My DIL made a lovely dinner but I asked her to cook my pork without breadcrumbs. I wasn't aware she had cooked it in the same pan as the breaded meat until it was on my plate. Not wanting to be the nasty mother-in-law, I kept quiet and ate it. It was really delicious!

I was nauseaus that night and

the very next day I had these blistery things on my face. I haven't had these since giving up gluten. They're almost always around my mouth and last for a few days. Definitely not cold sores. I've suffered from them and know exactly how they feel and their appearance. After going back to my regular gluten free diet, the blisters went away....took about a week.

Have any of you had this problem?

Hi there.

I started having hair loss problems last summer and it's been falling out steadily since then. My only saving grace is that I see new hair coming in but it's still getting so thin. I too had hair in the tub, on the pillow, etc. I saw a determatologist who ran all kinds of tests. All we could pin point was the low iron. Even the celiac bloodwork came back normal. However, I recently had a biopsy and that showed positive for celiac (I guess this happens). In any case, I'm confident that the celiac is at the root (no pun intended) of the problem. From what I've read on this subject, once the body starts responding to the gluten free diet, this usually takes care of the hair loss problem.

I know how you feel. It's a huge emotional issue especially for women and I"m so tired of people telling me to stop worrying. Hang in there!

Hi all. I'm new here. I was recently diagnosed with celiac after having a biopsy done (blood tests were all normal). My question is, I've been having severe hair loss problems since last summer. I've read that this can be related to celiac and poor absorption. I'm hoping and praying that the hair loss will subside once I've been gluten free for a while. I've been on the diet for just a week. Has anyone else ever had this problem?
