I am going to try these shampoos. I like variety it seems to keep the hair from build up. I do have a low thyroid but I have been on Armour Thyroid for over a years so I didn't think it was that. I do have ridges in my thumb nails and all my nails seem brittle though, so it could be vitamin deficiency. Could any of you tell me what vitamins you use, that seem to work for us Celiacs, because I am taking very expensive ones and maybe they don't work. I still get poisoned with gluten at least twice a month or more, so maybe that is disturbing the villa and absorption. Thanks for your help everyone, you are great. Here's the shampoos that were recommended: << I have DH and get on very well with Pantene Pro V shampoo and Pantene conditioner. I also use Preference by Loreal. >> ---I was told by another celiac in my area support group to use baby shampoos as they do not contain alcohol (distilled from grains). Pert has a "child" shampoo that I really like. I've also been using Johnson's and Johnson's Honey and Vitamin E baby shampoo. I used to use high priced shampoos and conditioners and I have not really noticed ANY difference in my hair.--- ----I use Suave Shampoos and conditioners with no problems. But, beware as they have some of those designer knockoffs which do contain wheat germ oil. I always look for any wheat germ oil or oats on the labels. I hope you have luck finding a good shampoo and hope that you have better luck with your hair. I sympathize. Have you tried going to a dermatologist? My mom was having hair loss and they found that it was from psoriasis and she has special shampoo and her scalp is much better, or course, that may not be your problem. Also, have you had your thyroid checked? Hair loss can happen with low thyroid function, or sometimes vitamin deficiency, among other things.---
