    Severe Food Allergies and Hair Loss

    Could severe food allergies cause hair loss?

    I was recently tested for food allergies, And have found that there are number of foods that I am severely allergic to. I suspect this is the cause of my acne. Is it at all possible that it is the cause of, or a contributor to my hair loss as well?

    Any input appreciated.

      All kinds. Bananas, all types of wheat (breads), gluten, peppers, legumes, liquor, tomatoes, only to name a few. Like literally so many foods.

        bananas? tomatoes? Are you crazy? It's impossible to be allergic to those. Who tested you?

          2020; It's really not. RedPaw Data Services tested me, look them up.

            Anyway, if I've been eating foods I'm allergic to my whole life, could this be a possible contributor?

                    Well, my acne is definitely calming down. Did some research but can't seem to find a definitive correlation between food allergies and hair loss. Could be a contributing factor, though. There are people that claim a diet and hair loss correlation.
