Lash loss
So I went to my naturopath and after doing allergy blood tests, he told me that I am allergic to eggs, dairy, beef and garlic.
He also checked my auto immunity and I was delighted to hear that it has come down from 20 to 3( don't know how they count it)
My bald patch is having fuzzy re growth. All great news but last night, after washing my face I saw 3 lashes under my right eye. I know that its normal to lose lashes everyday so I am trying not to freak out but it's hard not to
I inspected my lashes and thankfully there are no bald spots.
I have been under some anxiety not stress for the past 3 days, my husband is going to China for a month and that always makes me sad. Could this anxiety be the culprit?

While this could be the cause, I have had so many people tell me that hair loss is "stress". My reply now is to say, "don't you think there might be a lot more bald people in the room than just me if stress was the cause of this." That usually wakes them up.
Who knows what casues this. Good for you if you have found that some foods cause reaction, and sounds like you have a good doc..

Drives me crazy when people say alopecia is from stress. Internal stress on the body maybe, but not "stress" like we know it in every day life. Had a doctor say this to my 11 year old daughter
last week, I wanted to punch her.

When my alopecia first started, people told me that all the time. I have 8 children (6 adopted), so a lot of people just assumed my family was causing my hair to fall out. I remember telling someone, "Your stress about my stress is causing me stress. Please stop fretting over me." I was so relieved when we found out I was a translocation carrier. I could say, "My scrambled up DNA affected my hair loss." Suddenly people quit assuming it was from stress because there was a viable "reason". There is still so much ignorance in the world about this condition. We just have to keep teaching people.

I agree. Stress is not the cause of hair loss. There is a physiological factor, too. For me it was being a translocation carrier. Where one of my chromosome legs broke off, just happens to affect hair. But certainly a family trauma six years ago helped catapult me from alopecia areata to alopecica universalis (spotty hair loss to total hair loss). As you work with treating your physiological factor (food allergies in your case), if you can, also work on positive ways to handle stress. I'd say that's the key to good health regardless of the health condition.

Translocation Carrier-how did you find out about that. It would be great to know that there is a reason for this. Not that it changes anything, but it would be nice to have an answer.

I had 8 miscarriages trying to have our youngest child. My doctor sent me for genetic testing, and that's how we found out I'm a translocation carrier. Then we had to see a genetic counselor to find out what our chances were of having a successful pregnancy, etc. I asked her if the translocation could have caused the alopecia. She did some research and said that the particular allele that had been disrupted on the 7th chromosome has been linked to alopecia in many families. She said they couldn't say that conclusively until the human genome project was finished, maybe in about 10 years. That was 6 years ago.
