I have alopecia aereata. Currently I have a full head of thick shiny hair, however, I have lost most of my hair for "inexplicable" reasons at more than one point in my adult life. Could you have alopecia? It's an autoimmune disorder.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Sometimes that's a factor in hair loss.

Also, obtaining sufficient nutrients/calories could very well be a factor in your hairloss. Stress will deplete B vitamin stores and that can cause hair loss.

I wish you luck in solving the mystery. In my case, there wasn't a solution (besides naturally doing everything I could to boost my immune system and giving up on the whole issue). Ironically, once I accepted my baldness, my hair grew back. While I could not do much about the hair loss (i.e. it was beyond my control and without cure), it was very comforting to know the cause.

Kate, IBS-D.
