Just wondering if anyone out there who is losing their hair has noticed a similar pattern in themselves concerning protein ingestion and an itchy scalp with associated hairloss.
I recently noticed after eating a chicken breast on a completely empty stomach that my scalp started to itch within 20 min of eating and whenever my scalp itches my hair will fall out in those itchy areas; this has been happening for years. I've always felt that my hairloss was due my diet whether it was due to sugar, vinegar or in this case, protein.
I've noticed this pattern with a pure rice protein drink, pork and as I mentioned, chicken.
I exercise 3-5 days per week and would hate to go even one day w/o a protein source but I'm thinking it may be necessary . I don't have any food allergies in the traditional sense in that some people will break out with a rash or hives or get an itchy mouth nor will anything upset my stomach. All I notice is that my scalp, especially the back, will get itchy and fall out. It really sucks that I can't feel comfortable getting enough protein without my hair being affected. Thanks
