Ask Hannah
Q. Can I have HA without low body weight?
Yes! For some women, weight loss of greater than 10 lbs. can contribute to HA. (See featured article #2 for more details.) Additionally, some situations of malnutrition - such as is seen when the GI tract is damaged from Celiac Disease or Crohn’s Disease - can also contribute to HA.
