Question 1

What could be cause of severe hairfall despite having a balanced diet?

Accepted Answer

It could be from a thyroid or other metabolic problem. Best to see your doctor for exam and some blood tests.

Question 2

Will having 6 eggs(4 yolks) per day cause kidney problems? i workout. 6 days per week vigorous. i do have a 3000 calorie. well balanced. diet

Accepted Answer

I know of no evidence that eating a lot of eggs will cause kidney problems. In someone who already has kidney failure a low-protein diet is advisable to prevent progression of the disease, but high protein should not cause problems in someone with healthy kidneys. However, i strongly advise that you (and everyone) eat only organic eggs; otherwise it is likely from chickens fed gmo corn &/or soy.

Question 3

If i am h pylori negative & i don't drink alcohol, i don't smoke, i don't take nsaids & i eat a balanced diet, what causes are left for gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Production, stress, poor sleep, caffeine, bile reflux, eating too fast, emotions, being a worrier... There are plenty other risk factorsd and triggers, as you can see.

Question 4

What could cause both chronic iron defient anemia and chron hypoglycemia in an 11 yr old boy?  no blood loss.  good and balanced diet.  no diabetes.

Accepted Answer

Between meals snacks. Sugar is the ultimate cause of hypoglycemia. That seems like a paradox but the biochemistry is complex. I suggest (if it applies) that he gets rid of all forms of sugar, ice cream, pop (including diet), candy chocolate etc on trial. It is a cheap approach.

Question 5

On 200mg spironolactone for hypokalemic per. paralysis i eat very well balanced diet.could "cheat" cause dehydration & feelin of bruising allover body?

Accepted Answer

The spironolactone you are taking helps prevent potassium losses in the kidney, helping to keep your potassium blood level up.  Avoiding alcohol and eating a low carbohydrate diet may help. If you "cheat", the typical symptoms of HPP may occur: shoulder/arm, hip/leg weakness or paralysis. One might experience aching with this. While challenging, complying with all aspects of treatment is important

Question 6

I am healthy, 35, exercise regularly and eat a fairly balanced diet. i keep experiencing intermittent pulsation of my upper abdomen (epigastric area) over the last 4 days, no pain and not pregnant. should this be a cause of worry?

Accepted Answer

You can observe for a couple more days. If that pulsation persists and it becomes stronger with exertion, you should be examined.

Question 7

What causes b12 deficiency? blood test-b12=158, b6=2.4, folate=12.5, homocysteine=12.9. i eat a balanced diet. on 325 of aspirin to prevent more dvts.

Accepted Answer

B12 is readily available in foods of animal origin (including dairy & eggs) so unless one is vegan you'll get enough via diet unless you can't absorb it; this can be caused by low hydrochloric acid, overgrowth of yeast or bacteria in the small intestines or a hereditary condition called pernicious anemia.Take methylcobalamin orally or by injection.

Question 9

I cant find even 1 website that clearly explains how excess insulin can cause weight gain.if i'm on a ketogenic diet & drinking diet coke, which raises insulin levels in blood, how would this possibly lead to weight gain if i'm not eating carbs????

Accepted Answer

Body can make carbs from protein and fat. Insulin facilitates entry of glucose into cells where the glucose turns into fat. To avoid weight gain, you need to reduce total caloric intake. Insulin is a growth factor. By doing so-called ketognic diet and diet coke you are not doing your health any favors.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine
