Metalbabe Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've been losing a lot of hair lately and my hair is so thin at the moment that you can almost see through my scalp...do you guys think this has anything to do with my diet?? I've been a vegan for about a year now...I take 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil a day and I take a multivitamin everyday as well....so what do you guys think could be the problem???

Crash Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 It could be a vitamin deficiency. How much B vitamins do you get in your diet ? Or it could be stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I would think its stress related...assuming your scalp hasn't recently gotten terribly dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSiren Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I had it happen to me, turned out I was hypo-thyroid and it was on of the symptoms. I didn't get the weight gain with it like most people, just the hairloss and being cold all the time. The meds fixed the hair loss, but I still have trouble with cold. Maybe you could get some bloodwork done just to be sure everything looks OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
