Vitamins and hair problem!

[Guest guest]

Hi there! I'm glad the subject of vitamins has come up, because I am

having a problem and I think taking a vitamin will help it. See, my

hair is coming out. Not in clumps or anything...just enough for me to

really notice it! This has just happened since I have become veggie

about 5 months ago. Has anyone else who is vegetarian had this happen?

Am I not getting enough protein? I bought some vitamins and I started

taking them today...I hope I will see a difference in the amount of

hair I lose!!!

 

Have a great day everyone...

Hi Rachel in 'Bama,

I can really sympathize with the hair loss problem because it happened to me.

Mine started about 6 months after I because a vegetarian. It didn't all fall

out at once, it went slowly in the brush, but within about 6 months I had a near

bald spot on the crown of my head. Fortunately, for me, it was accompanied by a

scaley patch that allerted me to the potential of a food sensitivity. At first

I thought it was cucumbers and I do love cucumbers, but soon realized that it

was cashews. I can live without cashews. Since I quit eating them, about 18

months ago, I have had not further problems and the hair has grown back in to

fill the bald spot. I am not technically allergic to them, as it is not a

hystimine reaction, but I am sensitive to them and by body reacts in this way.

I hope you can as easily figure out what is causing yours and easily avoid it.

I don't know why, and experts will argue it, but in my experience, becoming

vegetarian makes us more suspetable to attacks by sensitivities and minor

allergies that we had not noticed before. Over all, sensitivities amd all, I

have in better health as a vegeatrian.

There could be an allergy or a deficit causing this or a med problem.

But for me , i know that lack of protein will cause me to start

loosing hair. If this is the case and you eat dairy a couple ounces of

cheese each day will help, if you are vegan, a couple ounces of nuts

and a serving of tofu or beans should help. Do keep up with the

vitamins as well. Good luck!

You should have your thyroid levels checked. I started losing hair and

found out I had an overactive thyroid.

I came across this post today, the whole losing hair thing caught my attention

but the " scaly patch " made me post a que. Since I delivered my first baby last

year, I have had this " patch " on the back of my neck that no doc seems to know

what it is. They all guess psoriasis or eczema, offer no treatment and tell me I

just have to live with it. It is very embarrassing and ANNOYING! I am wondering

if it could be an allergy? I am thinking the pregnancy kicked my immune system

into overdrive and what may have been lurking as a mild allergy, now is a

moderate to severe allergy? I am suspecting wheat. Does anyone know if I

" tested " this theory, how long it would take of avoiding this in my diet for me

to know if that is the culprit. Thanks

You have to be off wheat for at least a week before you get it all out of your

system and can determine if that if the culprit.
