    Default 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?

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

    Its possible thats whats causing your hairloss; are you loosing in the typical norwood pattern or are you diffuse?

    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.
