Ugh. Feeling a bit bad about all this now.

Over 5 years. 5 years I've been battling this thing. Researching, digging deeper, trying to work out what's going on not just with my hair but my whole body... mostly digestion I guess.

And... while I have a network of theories that I do have confidence in, I'm still shedding hair as fast as ever and my digestion is still as bad as ever.

What do I need to do?

One day my body decided to freak out, and since then it's been giving me Hell. Why?

My theory, as I've said, is that insulin resistance led to hyperglycaemia which led to Candidiasis then a hormonal imbalance probably via the HPA axis through to high DHT causing more sebum, infection of the skin of the galea, yada yada.

The stuff I've said a million times.

Is it true? I dunno. Seems true.

But then why is my hair still piling out?

I've tried tons of antifungals, things to correct hormones, tons of different diets, and more recently I'm drinking lots of apple cider vinegar and taking a fair bit of vitamin C, in the hopes that it will reduce my blood sugar levels and that will fix my body.

But nothing ever works.

Help?

Welcome to the world of hair loss.


Keep trying.

Have you tried DT? That's my only suggestion now because after tossing the kitchen sink at my hair loss I still lost half my hair in ten months. I didn't see any mention of manuals in your post so maybe give it a try. I'm stacking DT with fin but its up to you if you want to go down that route.

Yeah about the same for me, 4 years of slowly balding. Bad Digestion, seb derm, all the fun stuff. Can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Probably should try to accept being bald. At least I look pretty good with a buzz cut, but the worse the temples get the worse I feel like it looks. Also sucks to feel shitty most of the time due to poor digestion. Dunno though, I guess some people have to spend their whole lives being sick. Maybe I'm one of them.

what is your regimen

and diet ?

list them please

Also, it is best not to get attached to a single theory of hair loss.

I'm feeling a little bit better today

I think I hadn't had much sugar/carbs yesterday and also not that much sleep so it was all affecting my mood. I felt better when I had some Ribena and bacon haha - salt, calories, sugar, woo! xD

But erm... I'm kind of thinking maybe I should take a bit more vitamin C and also focus it on the morning, because apparently cortisol levels are higher in the morning. I'm not sure.

My diet is a bit changeable but tends to simply involve limiting carbohydrate especially around fibrous food so that it doesn't feed the Candida (I am pretty confident it's Candida) in my large intestine. It works pretty well at MANAGING my digestion, but it doesn't make me better ._.

carbs are the cell's primary fuel source. candida likes sugar whether it's overgrown or not. the more you starve it of sugar the more likely it will overgrow in search of food.
