Other Tests To Solve Thinning Hair? B12 And Iron Were Normal

Afternoon folks, as an advisory I am still undiagnosed, possible eosinophillic disorder, possible food allergies, possible leaky gut, possible celiac, it just keeps going.....

 

 

But anyways, I feel this is similar to all but how have you helped slow the hair thinning?  I'm not balding,  I still have a solid hairline, HOWEVER, its so light and thin that when its really sunny out you could see my scalp in certain areas (my hair is short, but this was never an observation)

 

My iron, ferritin, B12, and beta carotene were all healthy/above normal so the GI says I don't have any problems absorbing food, yet I have low vitamin d and struggle with weight.  Does this even make sense?  Any other vitamin I should be testing for?  I see my second GI on may 19th and was hoping to bring this up amongst other testing for SIBO

thyroid  testing? hair loss  heredity?  sometimes  just  part of the  aging process...I  knew  a guy  &  by 10th grade  he  was  balding  but  family males all  were  top of head  bald  by  age  20.....

Yep, thyroid.  Hypothyroidism is more common among celiacs and can do a number on your hair. My hair thinned on top... as a woman, I'm not impressed.  

 

Check TSH (should be near a 1), free T4 and free T3 (should be in the 50-75% range of your lab's normal range), and anti-thyroid antibodies like TPO Ab.

Nvsmom is riGht. My hair thinned due to long-term hypothyroidism.
