I am a 39 yo female in really good health. I just got back from getting my hair cut and the hair dresser commented that the hair at the top of my head is very thin. She was concerned enough to suggest I see my Dr. She isn't sure if I am losing hair or it is breaking off.

She asked if I was on any medications or had a recent illness. I am on armour thyroid, which I have been on for @ 7-9 months and was on synthroid previously for the last 15 years. No illness other than I started having gallbladder issues a year ago, but still have my GB. I have lost 86#s in the last 13 months through a low fat, high fiber diet and have been vegan for the last 5 months. I excersise 5-6 days a week.

Can eating too little fat cause this? The vegan diet? Or something else completely? I am really worried and plan to see my Dr next week.

Thanks,
Jean
