<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I would like to start off by saying thank you very much to all who responded to my question about hair loss; my questions were more than answered. I had no idea that there were so many of you! It seems that many of you have experienced some degree of hair loss, most of which you attribute to alopecia areata. I also got a suggestion to check the content of my shampoo and when I did I found that it does contain wheat. The name of this product is PANTENE PRO-V Shampoo Plus Conditioner and the representative that I spoke with informed me that all PANTENE products do contain wheat. Thank you to those of you whom sent me web sites and recipes to get me started, both were very much appreciated. To answer some of you, I am from a small town called South River in Northern Ontario Canada. The nearest support group that I know of would be in Toronto which is a four hour drive away. If any of you know of a closer one please let me know. I have sent for a copy of the product listings from CSA and am hopeful to receive that soon. I see that I am not the only person who has asked this question recently as I have just received copies of other summaries discussing the same topic. I would have liked to have done a better summary but cannot at this time. However if any one wishes to ask any question of what I have received I would be more than happy to forward the information...it seems to be different for each area. Sincere thanks Irene Young
