Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 My son, who was diagnosed celiac at 18 months and is now almost four has deformed toenails. I had hoped the would " recover " once he went gluten-free, but now it has been two years and they are not a bit better. They are thin and rippled with rough uneven edges that curl up and a few that curl down. The big toenails look almost cupped or dented with the end of the nail curling up like the edge of a bowl. Also rather that grow even across, mostly the sides grow. I know this toenail weirdness must provide a clue as to an underlying health issue or nutritional deficiency. Does anyone have any insights? (other than the fact that he probably won't be a foot model:-) Thank you so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
