Abstract/Notes This 38 year old female patient was referred for nutritional help because of three primary complaints. Her order of importance was as follows: hair loss, extreme fatigue, and diarrhea. She stated her hair had always been her crowning glory and it was now coming out in chucnks. She just recently had to cut her hair short because of hair loss. She stated over the past year her hair had had been progressively falling out during washing and running her fingers through her hair. She said it had diminished in volume by fifty percent over the past year and was lifeless. She had become very depressed about this. This patient had increasing diarrhea for months but the driving force for her to seek further help was the progressive loss of her hair.
