I often 'stress' that I cannot provide my clients with the time + attention I would really like to give but the workload of five clinics is sometimes overwhelming..! In the end you can only give your best + hope that is sufficient. I do hope to get to the US + catch up with all my clients there. Again many thanks - Tony Dear Kim,

As I have much experience with this + the ONLY Trichologist from a health training background (not hairdressing) I can only suggest you see me - either by personal consultation (preferably) or my online service the home page of my website - www.hairlossclinic.com.au. Whatever course you decide please resist the suggestions of putting your child on anti-depressants, anxiety medication, undergoing scalp biopsy or having painful cortisone injections into their scalp. Believe it or not this is the common treatment out there. The problem is stemming from ALL the symptoms you described. Hope this is of assistance. Tony Pearce Trichologist Dear Cheralyn,

I am trying not to panic and after reading through your article and subsequent posts I think I have ruled out ringworm; which was my first thought. Recently my daughter has been quite 'windy' and has complained of a tummy ache. Our financial situation has changed recently we are having a lot of pasta to fill our tummys and the expensive wholemeal breads we used to buy are a thing of the past. We now have white bread and cereal from a low cost grocery chain, though we still get plenty of sun, fruit and veges and maybe a little less meat and fish than we used to. Will my local doctor be able to help me or should I try and see you or any Trichologist? Thanks Hi Tony,

I taught in FLA for a number of years (Boca Raton) + do miss those times... When you're speaking with Dr. Tosti please let her know I'm available as a 'guest speaker' at Univ. Miami if the opportunity arises. With respect to your family - you are all incredibly atopic + this has now passed to your 5yo. Even if her bloods do not reveal Gluten sensitivity (Coeliac is the most severe form) - keep her as Gluten-free + Dairy-free as possible. Vitamin D + Iodine are particularly important. According to CA-based Vitamin D Council (www.vitamindcouncil.org) you should keep your little babe's Vitamin D levels as close to 80 as possible; Iodine test is a simple urine test. I am hoping to come back to the US but you might contact Dr. David Kingsley at the association I belong to - www.worldtrichologysociety.com as he is in NY - easier access for you. Warm wishes- Tony Pearce RN, WTS Dear Jane,

I am a RN/ARNP in miami fl USA, my 5 yr old daughter was diagnosed with short anagen syndrome and has developed some bald spots that look like AA. I am real interested in the connection between hair disorders and thyroid/ celiac disease. Coincidentally, I was diagnosed at 23 with severe Hashimoto's thyroididtis (hypothyroidism), my TSH was 106 at the time of diagnosis. My uncle has severe Celiac Disease. we believe the first baby in my fathers family may have died at age 1 of undiagnosed Celiac disease. I have an appointment with a renowned hair expert, Antonella Tosti, MD at Univ of Miami. I would love to see you also. what labs should be drawn to evaluate a child with hair disorders. It would be helpful to go in with some knowledge. Please check out our parents of SAS and LAS children on FB, under short anagen syndrome. you would be a Godsend to all of us. you seem to know more than most MD's. Dear Tony,

I believe your babe's response to having Dairy probably tells you where the issue might be. I would suggest eliminating the Dairy; if you see improvement you could gradually relax the Gluten restrictions + see how she responds. Also ensure she is receiving adequate Vitamin D - a common nutritional trigger of autoimmune issues in susceptible individuals. Best regards- Tony Pearce Dear Erin -

Whilst I firmly believe Gluten/dairy are significant causes of alopecia areata (AA) or other autoimmune issues in children, you should be aware there are many other causes too. Protocol is to be Gluten-free (essentially GF-containing breads, cereals + pasta) for six months. Sometimes the improvement is dramatic; sometimes slower. It is generally accepted 'young guts' function better without these forms of food. If you notice no change or even a worsening of symptoms - consult a qualified practitioner with experience in this area. Best regards- Tony Pearce Dear Mrs. Robbins,
