CELIAC DISEASE ASSOCIATED ALOPECIA HAIR LOSS

Celiac or celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which affected individuals have an adverse immune reaction to gluten in their diet. The most reliable treatment approach is a gluten free diet. However, those who fail to strictly adhere to a gluten free diet can develop hair loss problems. The hair loss can be due to two different mechanisms.

As an autoimmune condition, celiac disease can be associated with an increased risk of developing other autoimmune diseases. People with the condition have also been reported as also developing the autoimmune hair loss condition alopecia areata.

In addition, and probably more common in affected people, there can be thinning of hair fibre and general diffused hair loss. This is probably most likely due to the inflammatory response of gluten in the gut inhibiting the absorption of other nutrients from food which hair follicles require.

Similar poor hair growth can be seen in other people with inflammatory bowel syndromes. Erratic hormone production in people with the condition may also be a contributing factor to hair loss. In celiac disease the strict adherence to a gluten-free diet resolves the gut inflammation and in so doing also usually resolves the poor quality hair growth.
