I  am having major problems with hair loss.  Thank goodness I had very thick hair!!  Is there anything I can take or do about it??  I am not allowed to drink protein shakes.  All of Dr Chapman's patients know this.  I had to have my stoma stretched last Thursday and I am finally able to eat and keep it down!

I am taking Biotin to help with the hair loss (suggested by my hairdresser and approved by my nutritionist). The good news is that the hair will grow back. Three years ago I had an illness that resulted in major hair loss. I lost big clumps of hair; I looked like I had been taking chemo. My hair came back thicker than ever. It has been poker straight before and came back rather wavy.

Good luke.

Biotin does not help hairloss... only hair growth. When you start losing hair its because of what has already happened... take the biotin (it makes ALL hair grow) and get in your protein and you will notice a slow down/stoppage over time... it typically takes a few months!

Thanks Jennifer!!  Does anyone up here drink protein shakes?  The only I eat is protein, but I am not getting enough in.

yes, i drink Isopure zero carb, it doesn't have much of an aftertaste.

I am curious to know why can't you and all of the other patients of Dr. Chapman's,  drink any protein shakes??  What's that about...please explain.  Thanks.
