<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone: I was just about to write to the list when I read Ed Vala's message about shampoos and hair loss. I just bought some shampoo and spray on conditioner from my hairdresser (I usually buy them at the drug store, some don't have ingredients listed) and wheat is included in both! I have had problems with my hair falling out for years, nothing noticeable to anyone else, but I always wondered why. I've been diagnosed with celiac about 6 months ago. I've gone GF, and partially organic and started taking plant enzymes, given up dairy (except a little milk in my 1cup decaffeinated coffee in the morning), (just since the weekend) I'm on folic acid and iron for anemia. I haven't noticed any difference in the way I feel, still tired, bloating, never had the diarhhea that other people had, I quite often have a stitch in my right side, that's annoying, no pain, but just uncomfortable, etc. Is it possible that the shampoo may be causing some gluten reaction, I know the spray on condtioner would be (I only used it a couple times before I realized it had wheat in it). I'm not one of those real sensitive celiacs, or do I react to anything containing gluten. I'm still not 100% convinced I have CELIAC disease, I go for my second biopsy in April. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a biopsy confirm (or suspect) celiac, go GF for 6 months, have another biopsy and have them find it wasn't? Is it possible that the pathologist miss read the first one?? I guess anythings possible. I remember when my GI called me to tell me the results of the biopsy, he said it's not 100% confirmed, but seemed to be sure it was. Blah, blah, blah, sorry for the long message.
