Hi rkymtrtoxie...if you've already got lupus then you might be predisposed to having alopecia since both are considered to be physical issues of autoimmune origin. Autoimmune diseases can arise in people in more than one condition, and/or later in life other ai issues 'pop-up'. Sorry you're dealing with the hair-loss...I have it too so hang in there. Celiac disease is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms. People with celiac disease tend to have other diseases in which the immune system attacks the body's healthy cells and tissues. Hope this helps. read a book/look at the sky/take a walk/run a spell |
