Hi – can you please expand on your post. I’m assuming you’re asking for resources on hair loss due to covid and how to assess for hypochlorhydria? Please clarify and confirm. Thanks

Yes, that’s correct. I remember these topics being talked about so I was wondering where I can find solutions to hair loss from long covid and I also know there was a test you mentioned to see if a person has low or high acid in their gut.

I believe you’re referring to THIS post on long covid hair loss correct? I shared 4 different mechanisms that can cause that to happen; 3 are nutrient related and stress is the fourth.
So if you’re still struggling post-covid, get the following markers checked:
• iron, ferritin, saturation %, TIBC
• CBC with differentials to check hemoglobin and other red blood cell characteristics (and white blood cells)
• RBC zinc
• vitamin A
• RBC folate
• full thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3, anti-TPO, anti-TG)Let me know if stress is at play in your case, as that will require different testing/support.
You can also find more root cause reasons for hair loss in the Symptom Dictionary handout HERE.
Regarding testing for low stomach acid, you can read this handout HERE. I also share an at-home baking soda test that you can watch HERE (3 minute mark) in the Gut Health Masterclass course which also explains signs of hypochlorhydria.
Hope that’s what you were looking for.
