Re: Candida-Hair Loss Connection--Please offer your experience
I too am convinced my hair loss is from candida, in fact I am blaming a lot of other issues I've had recently directly related to candida.
I have been researching this same subject and this is how I found this post, in a google search.
Not only did I experience hair loss but my scalp itched intensely in only one spot and upon inspection there was never anything there. I also had a very strong thick-like "greasy" smell that often came from the back of my head. In the summer I would sweat and it smelled really bad. I could smell it when I dried my hair with a hair dryer. I also at times had tiny pimples all over my scalp.
Then after going on a strict anti-candida diet and detox my symptoms are about gone and my hair is now growing back.
I have chronic lyme disease also. I thought that was the reason for my hair loss and other issues but this symptom is not consistent with many others. After treating the LD with a years worth of ABX, my symptoms got worse.
Now that I am done with the ABX and on the strict diet, things are really starting to go back to normal.
I wish I could find valid proof there is a connection with hair loss and candida but it's not out there but I believe there is a connection.
