Antibiotics kill healthy gut bacteria resulting in autoimmunity
UPDATE: I've found that antibiotics kill healthy bacteria in the stomach and raise pH levels which allows for an overgrowth of yeast. This yeast is what causes leaky gut syndrome which then leads to the body attacking itself in people with a gene for autoimmunity (autoimmune response). In my case, it resulted in alopecia/thyroid issues. It can be helped with a yeast-killing diet that cuts out sugar, gluten, grains, a lot of fruit, and GMO foods (until your condition improves and then a normal diet can be resumed).
There are causes to alopecia, guys. Just because "science" hasn't found one reason why it happens doesn't mean it is a "random disease". Have faith. No disease is ever "random".

So in the past couple of months I've gone from AU to AA.
I got alopecia May 2014 and went AU May 2015. I have about 15 percent of terminal hair on my head back with 20 more of my head covered in baby hair (not exclamation point hairs). I also have sparse baby hairs on my body/brows. It started growing November 2015 with just a few baby hairs and grows more and more every day.
Weirdly enough, it started growing back while I got a cold in November and my alopecia started when I was taking antibiotics for a cold in May 2014. Weird, huh?
I've only been sick one other time since I've gotten alopecia (May 2015 and I still had ~65% of my hair growing at that point)
I took antibiotics every time I was sick and never finished the dosage -which my doctor told me NOT to do- up until this time and last time I was sick in May and I decided to forgo antibiotics due to these suspicions.

Most of the people I know who went from AA to AU or vixe versa has nothing to do with being sick. It's just a progressive disease we don't control. Some will say stress does not help.
The first few years we have alopecia we try to analyze all the scenarios. Was I eating anything special? Is it related to the weather, etc...
Good luck, we all need it here. And by the way, that picture is nice, u have a nice shape of head. U look sexy.

I believe it has more to do with genetic disposition. If you have the markers for this disease, it's probably just hitting the right trigger to bring it on (could be different for everyone). There are a lot of children that lose their hair in the first year of life.
May they find a solution soon!
