Hello-

Chiming in here - unfortunately the fabulous shampoo I used that worked so well is no longer being made :sad: It was called More Hair shampoo and it was made by University Medical. I tried to order some a few months back, as my dermatologist diagnosed me with sebhorrheic dermatitis on the scalp (he also said I had female pattern hair loss - but that seems to have subsided once the Rx shampoo kicked in - so maybe not??) and I remembered this shampoo was good for that. Lo and behold I was *so* sad!!

So no solution here - but if you stop the Asacol, the hair comes back, at least!

Good luck!

Mary

Thanks for doing that Angy.
Funny that hair loss is listed as very rare because I have read many people who lost hair. I was one of them, but since i stopped taking the asacol no more hair loss.
How are you feeling?

I hope you find lots of good recipes.
I am doing great, had thanksgiving yesterday. I cooked all morning and we ate in the afternoon. My tofurkey did not cause any stomach problems for me, eventhough it is made from soy.
Hope your reaction to the mackerel is past. I am sorry that happened.
