If Biotin increases hunger.... It makes sense! I have to eat every 2-3 hours. Well my dr suggests it and I thought I'm just used to it. But dang that makes sense!!!!

Thanks for sharing I had no idea!!!

FYI - Biotin INCREASES hunger. Not only have I experienced it' date=' it's a proven side effect - I will NOT take Biotin.

I am so pissed about my hair - I had this happen 2x in my life in the past 20 years. I have tried anything in the past to no avail. I really thought it wasn't going to happen.[/quote']

Maybe it won't increase your hunger. It hasn't for me..maybe it doesn't effect red heads! I also take B12. I had Hair loss when my b12 was low. I'm never Hungry and still have to set my alarm to remind me to eat. Try the biotin Shampoo

Any guys out there dealing with this? I have pretty short hair so any loss is going to jump out. I definitely would trade it for being healthier but I will take all steps possible to minimize.

for some reason i thought Hair loss would not happen to me because i am african american..

.not! lol! i have lost a lot of hair, more like thinning, length is still there but it is thin. This has been going on for 3 months now and i am 7 months out. I'm hoping it thickens up once the thinning episode ends.

I had crazy hair loss! It slowed down after 6 months. This is the first I have heard about the Biotin causing hunger, but my doc told me biotin does not prevent Hair loss, it only helps the strength of Hair growth. I take it because I am desperate for healthy and full hair again! Lol

Mine started at 3 months, I'm 4 months now. I thought I was prepared for it, and its way worse than I could have imagined. I'm afraid I'm gonna have bald spots on my scalp soon. I'm a hairstylist so this is my world!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
