Re: iodine initially causing accelerated hair loss. now many things accelerate hair loss. what can be causing this?

Anything out of the ordinary about each BM. Like, does it take a long time to transit or is it fast? What is the consistency of the stool? Any color differences between each BM, or any strange observations.

Yes, definetly out of the ordinary. I took pictures of my stool last night (sorry, but it looked weird but i had to get an opinion on it from the internet) http://imgur.com/NVVT8,w9nch,JVAIC,VcGtI,ndHEH,KZ4lD#0 (its an album i made lol, but yeah.. you will notice it looks a little off). it had mucous in it which is not typical, but it is typical of my stool to be in color blocks like that where half will be one color and the other half will be anouth. plus the shape is not even normal. something is obviously wrong here. 

no it usually comes out really fast because i eat a lot of fruit now. 

the pictures above were from yesterday, my stool today though looked really weird. it was like a block of green stool like the one above. then it had a block of more red color (i think because i ate pizza yesterday), then it had another block connected, but i forget the color. it's like different color blocks connected together. 

 Do you know approximately where the bleeding is taking place in the GI tract. Darker stool usually is up from the small intestine to the stomach. Did the test show only a positive for blood only? Leaky gut can produce positive results on fecal occult blood tests due to permeability of the gut wall. The permeability can occur when the wall in compromised for many reasons such as lack of good flora, food reactions (sensitivities), parasites, and bad flora that has taken up residence in a section. I can imagine low or no gut bugs inside the GI as food passes through, an immune reaction occurs, gut wall permeates due to immune response, some blood leaks as well, and you feel tired during this ordeal.

it WAS dark. my poop isn't dark anymore. it was like black before thats how i kenw and i went to go get tested. it is not black anymore. it is like how it is above, in different color blocks. im going to try to goto doctor tomorrow morning actually adn get another stool test to see if its still bleeding so i can try to use stomach acid if im not. if not, i need to figure out a way to get my gut fixed. going to be taking glutamine. 

 Antibiotics usually screw up flora, forever. Rebuilding is a slow process. What you eat also greatly determines the flora you build.

 Food allergies/sensitivities may bring on the tiredness you describe.

Iodine is required to produce strong stomach acid.

interesting information. that is unfortunate. yes, i have taken probiotics for a while. i just bought new ones called imicroflora but i think i got hair itchy from taking it. not sure. i will try some right now actually. 

sorry about the pics, but it is the only way people can really know what im saying.
