IBS and Nutrafol hair growth supplement

I am wondering if anyone has had any trouble or bad reactions/flares to using Nutrafol supplements for hair growth. Before I came down with severe IBS symptoms (approximately 5 years ago), I had been using Nutrafol for hair growth with no apparent issues. And the supplement (though pricey) WAS creating new hair growth, so I was very happy to use it.
But, now with IBS (or IBS-like symptoms), I am now very wary of some of the ingredients listed in the supplement. Due to severe malnutrition from my near-death experience of being unable to eat due to IBS symptoms, my already thin hair has become even finer and thinner and grows at a very slow pace. I do NOT want to lose my hair! But I don't want to upset the improvements in my digestion that I have been working so hard to maintain.
I am seeing an IBS specialist (who specializes in malnutrition) in November, so I will probably just bite the bullet and ask her to review the ingredients list (which is long) and ask her opinion about my resuming taking the supplement. My initial consultation with her led her to think that I may not actually have typical IBS, but perhaps a bowel function disorder which, in her words, would possibly be somewhat easier to treat and perhaps even be reversible.
I would love anyone's opinion or experience with taking Nutrafol. Thank you!
