Can Intake Of Probiotics Cause Hair Loss Problems?

I juice everyday, take probiotics and blood pressure medicine. I am experiencing sudden hair loss.When I juice I do kale, berries, fresh ginger, honey, soy protein, 1/2 cup of Kefir and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.Vitamins I take are: Multi, B, C, D, Calcium, EPA. Could something I am taking be causing the problem?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi there,,,welcome to HCM
-The diet you are following is good for hair growth and can not be the cause
of your hairfall..
-Get your Haemoglobin and thyroid profile checked as these are some of the common cause of hairloss
-Give your scalp a frequent hair massage with lukewarm olive and coconut
oil with tip of fingers..this wil increase the circulation of scalp and inturn
hairgrowth..
- I want also to mention here that falling of upto 100 strands of hair/day is
normal because every hair has a life cycle of its own which ends with it
falling out to make space for new one to grow..Sometime people
misunderstood this with hairfall..
Hope this will help
