I’m a 67 year woman who had been experiencing serious hairloss for about two years. Like many of you, I went the doctor route without them finding anything amiss. I wracked my brain, was it an allergy? Food? Fabric? Makeup? Bedding? Was it dust mites? Toothpaste? The litterbox cleaning chore? My cat? I tried some of the suggestions put forward on this site and from various articles I read. I scoured the internet for information, and finally came to the conclusion that I’d likely not find a a one-size fits all remedy.
In my case I believe it had to do with a malabsorption problem. Suffering a lifetime with IBS-D and always too thin for my height, my hair eventually suffered and started actually hurting and drastically falling out. Doctors don’t really take hair loss very seriously since thinning is expected as one gets older, but what I was experiencing wasn’t just minor – it was wrecking my vacuum cleaner. I had to cut the hair away from the bottom roller with scissors as the hair completely tangled it, and this was every time I vacuumed. Hair was in my food, all over my clothes don’t even talk to me about my brush… in fact I stopped brushing my hair. It was so limp thin and weak I couldn’t even put a small hair clip or bobby pin in it without it falling out.
Here’s what I eventually did. Cut out gluten and went on a low FODMAP diet. This helped my IBS-D problem quite a lot, though it took some time. Unfortunately my hair was still falling out. I prayed continually and brought my tears and anxiety to God meanwhile trying every supplement known to man, including biotin. I tried green drinks looking for that elusive nutrient that my body possibly needed. Beet juice, kale drinks, spirolina, chia seeds, flax seeds. I tried special shampoos, even Rogain (awful stuff) and then came across some Moringa leaf powder as I wandered down the health food aisle. I was desperate and willing to try anything even though I had never heard of this plant. It was awful tasting stuff but I held my nose and gulped down a quarter teaspoon mixed in water. After four days my hair went from being like hay to a much softer texture and my hair stopped hurting. I don’t believe in coincidence and know that my prayers were being answered. After about 2 months drinking a tiny amount of Moringa leaf powder in about 16oz of water everyday my hair finally stopped falling out. My bald areas still haven’t grown back but the remaining hair is strong and healthy and easily covers those areas. I also lost hair all over my body which hasn’t grown back either. This December will mark one year of no hair loss. I didn’t want to post anything here until I had something positive to add and to hopefully help someone else out there.
It’s been a heartbreaking, frustrating, depressing, embarrassing affliction, I know. I am praying for success, healing (spiritual and physical) and plentiful hair regrowth for you all. “For nothing is impossible with God.”
