Why are my nails becoming very thin and brittle and peeling?

I had surgery last week and it seems to be getting worse.Why are my nails becoming very thin and brittle and peeling?
If it's not diabetes, poor nutrition is the likely culprit. If you had surgery, you almost certainly had antibiotics, which kill the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract. This prevents you from absorbing nutrients properly.





You can build up the beneficial bacteria by eating yogurt, or taking good quality acidophilus, which you can get from a health-food store.








Speaking of diabetes and nutrition, please check into Dr. Furman's diet. It's helped a number of my friends get off insulin and feel MUCH better. For example, one friend has seen her sugar levels drop 90 points in just 10 days. That's with NO medications!

Do you happen to be diabetic? If so, you might have brittle, peeling nails. In order to combat this problem, I suggest taking a multivitamin which aids in growing nails thicker, use an oil-based nail strengthener and a clear nail laquer to prevent peeling and further damage.
