Where acceptance is all there is!
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone is going this route? We ditched the steroids about a month ago after 8 months of treatment. I am juicing organic fruits and greens each day. We have stocked our kitchen with vegan, non GMO, no gluten, no dairy, pure foods. Our new strict diet is of the highest quality and nutrition packed. Supplements include D3, Omega, B12, Calcium, and probiotics. It has been 6 weeks and hair is still falling rapidly. I was so hopeful it would slow by now. Has anyone tried this approach? I am grateful for any information or support.

While I feel it is to late for me, I have read where some people have had good results from going gluten free. If I was given this information 42 years ago, I would give it a try. Seriously why not? Eating a more healthy diet is good no matter if you get your hair back or not and if you get your hair back, bonus!
I feel like it has helped me. I am constantly trying to balance what the medical doctors and research tell me with what the nutritionists and holistic doctors say. First, alopecia is an autoimmune disease and it has to go through the disease process, which means you would not see results for a long time. Keep it up. I have been following a diet that is gluten and dairy free, organic, mostly plant based with some wild caught fish, organic chicken and grass fed beef and I take supplements such as a multi-vitamin, biotin, B-12, probiotic, etc.. After losing all hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, I now have everything back. My eyebrows and eyelashes are dark and fine, and the hair on my head came back white but it is now starting to change back to brown. I know I am better because I have less inflammation and I feel great. Only time will tell, and it certainly doesn't work for everyone, but it did seem to help me. I am hoping to be wig free in the next 6 months and that would be a beautiful thing.

Hi, I have also chosen a nutritional approach. The Paleo Autoimmune Approach as written about by Sarah Ballantyne is scientifically based and very logical to why the body is inflamed. This is different from the Vegan approach that I believe can still have offending foods and not enough nutrition without meat. I highly recommend you read her book and her web page is Paleo Mom. I feel great, the inflammation at my hair line is lessening and everyone says I look great (I believe I have lost a lot of inflammatory puffiness) . I have been doing this for 2 months and continue with a lot of confidence. (I have frontal fibrosing alopecia). Good luck.......
