Anyone else's toe nails look different since going GF?

[ianwoowoo]

Sorry for the potentially sensitive issue of toes but I had to ask the question.

When I was cutting my toe nails the other day I noticed that there was a distinct line across the nail about 2/3 of the way down towards the end. The newly grown nail is much lighter in colour and perhaps more evenly coloured than the final 1/3.

I wondered if anyone else had noticed a similar change?

I'm sure it take 6 to 12 months for a nail to grow right out so this would tie in nicely with my starting GF in October last year.

Not earth shattering news I know, and not on the same intellectual as some of the more informed posters, but it's the best I could come up with.

my nails are much tougher, and my sister has had (finally, in her 50s) to give up biting her nails as she can't chew through them anymore!

Haha, that is so funny you should post this!

I said pretty much the same thing to my husband earlier today! He said I just had minging toe nails!

Now that I think about it, I became GF 10 months ago and probably noticed this about 7 months ago.

Maybe we could all post pictures of our toe nails and compare them!!! ;o)

Photos??? Are you sure - I'm not a big fan of feet in general so photos of toes may be classed as offensive by the site monitors ! I think I'll keep mine under wraps for now and save the squirms.

lol, was joking!

At least I have the option of coving mine with nail polish . . or maybe you do too?!!

Not keen on feet either! Gadz min! :o)

They may be Beau's lines

Going gf helped my nails, but I think that going back to full fat stopped them cracking and flaking.

Ah that explains things my finger nails have lines on them too full fat you say I will use that when ever I finish off anything dairy my son wants ha ha.

if you don't eat enough fat in your diet you can't absorb the fat-soluble vitamins well, and if you don't have enough vitamin D you don't absorb the calcium well - too little calicum is a common problem for coeliacs. Enjoy your dollop of mayonnaise / scoop of icecream...you need it.
