A member asked:

I lost 65 lbs from march to oct. hair started falling out in june. i am ana positive 1:640 spec pattrn. rheum dr tested for autoimmune. all negative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Malabsorption: This is malabsorption / maldigestion until proved otherwise. If there's joint problems too, i'm thinking enteropathy arthropathy. The ANA may be a red herring. Solving this type of problem is why we have primary care physicians; respectfully nobody here can address this beyond raising possibilities. Celiac sprue? Whipple's? Crohn's? Many possibilities.
