Re: Hair loss -- Cheryl, we need you here...

[Guest guest]

I do know that hair loss can be caused by nutrition that isn't giving

you everything you need. -- Cheryl, isn't this so? -- I am not saying

that's it in your case. I think a lot of other things can do it to

you, too.

Didn't Princess Caroline of Monaco have a mysterious malady that made

her completely bald a while back?

So check what you're taking in...

Here we go....

May I ask how old you are? Hormones play a huge role in hair loss.

Could you be either pregnant or menopausal?

Some medications can cause hair loss. Have you started taking

anything new? Ditto for physical and/or emotional stress. I think

four months post-op is too far removed to be related to surgical

stress or anesthesia.

An excess of Vitamin A has been related to hair loss, as has a

protein and/or caloric deficiency. Are you dieting?

Lastly, a diet too high in animal fat has been shown to increase

testosterone levels which can cause hair loss. Rarely, hair loss can

be linked to cardiovascular disease, so if none of these other

options fit ask your doctor.

I would start taking a good multi-vitamin, if you're not doing so

already.

Keep us posted,

Forgot the B vitamins!!! Make sure your multi has B12, biotin,

riboflavin as well as iron.
