Thank you all so much for such a great response!!

Sorry for the delay in bringing you my summary.Hang on it's lengthy.....

* try to find a registered/trained Trichologist ....registered with the
International Association of Trichologists....that would be the person
to help you with your hair loss...

*Eight yrs. ago  when I became a celiac and went on a GF diet the hair
loss stopped.  It took about 6 months .. to have my hair look
normal...the cause is malnutrition....be sure to take a vitamin tab
daily...I use Thergran-M ...it is GF..

*Low thyriod can sometimes cause hair loss...before I was diagnosed I
experienced hair loss...

*Hair loss may well be from the lack of nutrients because of the
malabsorbtion that untreated CD causes..

*..hair loss is the result of hypothyriodism....

* I have HH (iron overload) ...I have the hair loss and gallbladder
removal due to the HH...

*I was diagnosed in my 20's ..noticed hair loss...with the help of a
protien treatment for my hair and the GFdiet  my hair grew back
again....

*One person has problems with eyelash loss...may be others

*I was diagnosed w/ gallstones..advised to have it removed...I had no
sympotms ..I declined...I am also hypothyriod and type one
diabetic...also had lesion on lower rt. lung..had it removed...could be
possible side effect of CD...ws told I had a hemangioma on my liver that
it is not a tumor but a collection of blood vessels and nothing should
be done about it...(MY NOTE REGARDING THIS...... A HEMANGIOMA IS WHAT
THEY CALL A BLOOD-VESSEL TUMOR - MINE WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF MY LIVER
ABOUT TO RUPTURE WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HEMMORRAGE - IT DID NEED
TO BE REMOVED.....MELINDA)

*I think there is a relation to CD and gallbladder pblms. if your "good
cholesterol level is low (mine always was prior to the diet) I
experienced hair loss before diagnosis..think this is due to
malnutrition...

*I also have had a hemangioma on my liver...Gastroenterologist did'nt
feel that it was any problem (MY NOTE REGARDING THAT...MY DR. TOLD ME IF
IT IS ENCASED IN THE LIVER IT IS NOT MUCH OF A DANGER   - MELINDA)  Also
she didn't feel there is any link between hemangioma and CD...

*Let me take a wild guess about the gallbladder...some people who go on
a very strict medical diet to lose weight where they eat no food..just
have prepared drink w/ no fat for several months...lose weight...develop
gallbladder pblms  because of lack of fat...

* I have hair loss due to malabsorption...I and kids had appendix
removed...I had gallbladder removed at age 20...teen daughter also had
hers removed...found on internet if one has bad gallbladder one is a
celiac or vice-versa...had maga intestinal obstructions until GF diet...

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO RESPONDED
