hair loss help.

Thinning hair is a common thing when it comes to colitis, whether a side effect of the medications or the condition itself. I can't say it thinned my hair, fortunately, but it is indeed something that normally accompanies colitis. My advice for you is to see your specialist and try to pinpoint the reason for it (check out therapeutic alternatives), maybe seek a psychologist or psychiatrist to reduce your stress levels, and look into bringing your condition under control as quickly as possible, if it isn't already stable.

Thankyou for replying.Nice to hear yours grew back. Hope mine does.Babz.

How do Iget to a specialist. I have left sided uc. Iam having salofalk enama every night.That is all, as the morning pill put me in hospital for 11 days It was awful.with pancreatitus.Babz.

 Thank you so much for telling me that. Ihope mine does xx

apply any oil on your whole scalp and hair every day for at least one hour before washing hair (i usually use argan oil, flaxseed or burdock oil), i can't think of anything better provided it is done regularly

Head massage daily with Almond Oil OR Gooseberry Oil makes the hairs grow again in lot of people. Try not to use too many shampoos, conditioners which contain all kinds of chemicals and damage the hairs in long term.
Simple, organic soaps are safer. Eating green veggies provide necessary vitamins and minerals needed for good hair.

Thankyou for all your help. Iwill try all the remedies you have mentioned, Babx zz

What is biotin please?

I started losing hair after I started on Remicade but it doesn't matter much to me because my hair is so super thick that now it's at a manageable thickness. I was on Biotin to help with nail ridges but yes it will help with hair too. I found that 5,000mcgs (or 5mgs) is the only strength that really works well. Biotin is naturally produced in the large intestine so when one has constant D it can deplete this vitamin which in turn can cause hair loss.
