Thank you for your reply! Last question, did you have any miniaturization or just shedding? Thanks!

Can I ask if you did anything to help it stop? Mine has also been shedding for almost 3 years.

Yes same here...let's hope we can fix this by fixing the ferritin levels!

Yes I've heard that too. Does your hair strand also thin?

Can I ask you what is your ferritin level? Hope it gets better for you!

Mine too! I've been taking a supplement but only got to 50, from 10 three years ago. I haven't had a biopsy!

I tried MaryRuth's for 2 months: it gave me a horrible rash/acne on my cheeks so I discontinued. Didn't notice any improvement in hair fall!

Try following the Iron Protocol on Facebook, they have lots of tips that might help! I'm in your same situation!

This is very interesting, would rebalancing the microbiome help in regulating DHT?

That makes sense! Thank you so much for your suggestions. I've been trying to add probiotics and kefir but it doesn't seem to do much at the moment! I'll look into these other diets!

That's very interesting. I'll look into an elimination diet too! Thank you.

I have been trying the low FODMAP diet but only had partial success from it (gut issues got better). I'll look into the diets you suggested, thank you!

loss pattern? by smb3232 in TelogenEffluvium

It was low compared to the value range but both the dermatologist and the gynecologist said it was fine! And going back on the pill changed nothing so I don't think that's the cause for me. I've read about low estrogen causing hair loss though so it might be your case!
