Guest guest Posted February 25, 2000 Report Share Posted February 25, 2000 Steve, LOL, I've been accused of losing a few hairs in some strange places... long red hairs at that ... hehe... wonder if I got anyone in trouble accidentally..... teeheee Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2000 Report Share Posted February 25, 2000 My hair loss started with a few loose strands, then lots of loose strands ... then when I brushed it would come out in alarming numbers... its very scarey at first and I had some depressive moments but, I am here to tell ya that mine stopped and its doing better ... I used a protein enriched (biotin) shampoo and I tried not to blowdry and style often because that made it much worse... I also washed my hair less frequently because I'd lose ALOT of hair during shampooing... Just my experiences, Cheryl MGB 6/17/99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I was so afraid of ending up with no hair. .. I kept eating and drinking protein.. Didn't happend I didn't loose any hair. Thanks God. It usually happens to people that are not careful with the diet. You need to take your proteins and viatamins. I'm trying to recall the extra vitamin I took.. If I can find the bottle somewhere in my room, I'll posted.. Oh, Oh, BIOTIN??? or BIOCTIN...It really works.... try it. Just go to a discount store, they should have it...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I was really careful with what I ate and drank---still am for that matter, but at 8 months out, the hair is still falling out and it started at 2 months. It's tapered off quite a bit but still coming out. Thank goodness I have really thick hair and it hasn't been noticeable. T.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I don't know what started my hair loss 3 years ago and it's been so long I'll never know. I know that my grandmother had very thin hair and her sisters did too so it might be hereditary. The only thing that changed 2-3 months ago was going into this damned flare after eating broccoli at Thanksgiving. It's like I can't come out of it. I think I ate something illegal at a restaurant even though I questioned thoroughly and bypassed on the dressing and that's kept me in the flare. The last 2 weeks the flare has intensified and so has my hair loss even though I haven't eaten out and have stayed mostly intro. I could possibly have a thyroid problem. When my F-I-L did reflexology on me, my thyroid points were always blown. When I can get to the doctor, I'm going to do like Jodi suggested and get a full thyroid panel test done. I had a thyroid test done in my early 20s and it came back ok, but I'm sure it wasn't a full panel test. For the last year, I have used shampoos with no SLF. The other day, in a moment of weakness I bough Herbal Essenses because it's a big comfort. I'm going to Whole Foods tomorrow to get my regular shampoo/conditioner and put the Herbel Essenses up because I know it's bad for me, but my hair condition hasn't worsened or lessened since starting to use it a couple days ago. Thanks so much for our input. I'm looking into the PHYTO vitamins and RF 80 so see if I can afford it. The RF 80 is pretty expensive. Do you take the PHYTO vitamins? Are you aware if there are any illegal starches, sugars, or lactose in them? Do you use the PHYTO products? Thanks again for your help!!!

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi , I had hair loss every time I went on Asacol, it grew back each time I stopped it though. Losing so much weight at the same time however might indicate a thyroid problem which will also cause major hair loss.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, it seems to be a cyclical effect for some people, particularly during flares.

Are you keeping a food diary?

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yes, I think it is the Asacol, it would start with me around the 3rd or 4th week of taking it and get progressively worse until I was losing handfuls like you said then I would stop the Asacol (it never worked for me anyway, I only took it because the doc insisted) Ann, Living in Italy Undiagnosed Crohn's since 1977 Diagnosed 15 years Sacroiliitis 25 years Rheumatoid arthritis 25 years Pyoderma Gangronosum 2 years SCD since July, 2008 Meds: None To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Wednesday, April 1, 2009 11:18:01 PMSubject: Re: Hair Loss Shirley My dr checked my tthyroid, its ok.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I take Lialda without any hair loss issues. However, when I had lost a lot of weight due to stress--not eating, I lost hair after I had it chemically straightened, which has since grown back. Malnutrition is a big factor in hair loss.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't take any meds now, just SCD (9 months) and yogurt and probiotics. I was on prednisone the first 5 months of the diet and after I weaned off that I've been fine with just the diet.

Well, you're eating a better variety of food than some! A woman needs 11 calories per pound of optimum weight to just maintain her body... that's without any exercise or chores you may perform. So, take the weight you want to be and multiply times 11. Then trot out to Fitday,Com and get a free account and plug in what you're eating and how much, and see where it falls in the amounts of foods. That will give you a starting point. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
