I was very grateful for the  25 replies to my query regarding hair loss. Of
the 15 or so people who related personal experiences, 13 told me to be
patient: apparently six to 18 months is not unusual to have to wait after
starting the diet. Of the two who had not experienced regrowth, one has
spent several years trying to track down the cause and now suspects the
endocrine system/adrenal glands (which I was wondering about myself), and
the second had had alopecia areata (baldness in spots) for several years
before going on the diet. Several of these respondents also suggested
taking multi-vitamins.

Those not relating personal experiences warned of hidden gluten intake as a
possible cause for continued hair loss after commencement of the diet;
advised blood tests to rule out thyroid problems, vitamin malabsorption,
diabetes, parasites, metal poisoning, and anemia (all of which I've been
tested for several times -- I should have mentioned that in my posting);
and suggested investigating various supplements such as B-6, B-12, folic
acid, and niacin.

Thank you again for your help.
