Can too much iodine cause hair loss in someone with hashimoto's ? when i was taking kelp or multivitamins i was noticing that i was losing a good amount of hair. when i quit, the hair loss ended?

Hair loss is common.in thyroid disorders especially if there was a prolonged period without effective treatment. The hair loss is diffuse & usually improves after appropriate treatment but can take some time. Excess iodine intake can cause goitre, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
