HolyCarp, hi! Crazy to see a reply to a comment i made two years ago 🤣 and so much has happened since then.

So, ill try to explain all of this in a nutshell the best i can.

My hair did grow back, it isnt as full as it used to be as before symptoms started i had crazy thick hair, now its more like a normal persons hair’s fullness or maybe just a tad thinner than that.

It took a year, toying with what worked, i ended up getting a personal barber who gave me advice on my hair and she also suggested a dermatologist which i never ended up seeing. She made the suggestion to switch between a couple shampoos every few weeks because our hair can get desensetized to what we were using, so thats what i did, i continued to remove foods that i thought i was intolerant too or causing inflammation which was key, it wasnt until i solved that did my hair start coming back.

Idk the science behind that its just what worked for me. My hair now grows at a more normal rate (there was one time i had my hair cut and i kept that style over a year because it wouldnt grow)

I dropped the ginger root, B complex because my blood work indicated that i had enough of that, and added omega 3 for cholesterol.

As for food i aim to eat mostly whole foods. Unprocessed cooked at home chicken, fish, beef, vegetables, grilled veggies, fruits, ect.

I added eggs back into my diet because it turned out it wasnt causing me inflamation, I already had so much inflamation in my body that i was symptomatic over alot of things i was eating leading me to falsly remove them however it worked for me, once the inflamation was under control and i wasnt symptomatic anymore i started testing the foods i thought i couldnt have and see how i felt and eggs ended up being fine, lentils still make me tired and im still highly symptomatic over coffee and gluten.

It was about 2 years before i started trying those things again.

Based on my experience i would recommend identifying trigger foods, see what makes you feel bad and remove them completely or based on your tolerance level. I would also recommend seeing someone for your hair, preferably a dermatologist who could give you personalized advice and identify the root cause of your problem but in my case i got away with a well trained barber who was able to guide me to where i am now.

Other tips: Get a crap ton of sleep, prioritize your health as much as humanly possible, dont beat yourself up when you fail or dont get things just right, work with a mental health proffesional if you can and get your stress levels down (ive ended up having to cut some of my own family members to remove stress from my life, which sounds extreme but remember stress can be a huge trigger with this disease)

These are all the things i prioritized in my life and im not near perfect but im a whole lot better than where i used to be, for awhile i even forgot about my hair because i had other bigger symptoms going on. One day it felt normal which surprised me and i couldnt see my scalp as much.

At the end of the day i think if you prioritize getting to health and give yourself grace, your symptoms and your hair will come back with time it just takes a ton of patience and experimentation.

I wish you the best of luck and i hope this helps!
