Ive had this condition on and off for about 3- 4 years now and I'm just getting sick of it. I'm sick of having a nice bald spot at the top of my head. I wear weaves to cover it but it's so expensive. I do know that when I drink water, protein, veggies, etc. it starts to grow about an inch. Then...as soon as I eat a piece of bread or something sweet or alcohol it all falls out! Its so bad that last week I ate healthy and my hair was starting to grow. THen when weekend came I ate junk and unhealthy my hair fell out again. I'm so frustrated. Doctors find nothing wrong. My stress levels are high sometimes but stress should not make your hair fall out so consistently. The rest of my hair is ok and thicker. Its just the top of head. I thought I was celiac but its still falling after a wheat free for about 1 week. please help- advise!

From what I read, it sounds like you have alopecia areata. The good news is that monoxidil is an appropriate treatment for this type of hair loss. You can buy it in any drug store. Here's a link to more information. It speaks about proper diet, diagnosis, treatments, etc. I hope it helps you.
I didn't find anything in my search that explains hair falling out so quickly from food, even with Celiac disease. Have you been dx'd with Celiac disease? Do you have the digestive problems, swollen stomach, etc. If so, then check with doctor before trying the monoxidil solution.

You could try a treatment called nt spotbaldness from www.alopecia-areata-cure.com. My bro managed to recover his hair by using it. You might want to give it a try. Wish you a quick recovery.
