Crohn’s, stress and hairloss

[Guest guest]

Hi

everyone, I'm new to this forum. I would like to know if any (or how many) of

you finds a direct connection between stress, hairloss and Crohn's, and

strategies you've used to control both of it.

I lost a

lot of hair since my early twenties (around the time I had my first Crohn

symptoms: arthritis); I went on phases of re-growing some, but on my last

personal autumn I lost even more and haven't recover most of it. I am taking

some B vitamin complex, and doing some shampoo+spray treatment.

I started

with SCD in February, after getting quite worse on my gastrointestinal symptoms

(after major stress moment), which pretty much consist of constipation/diarrhea,

gas, mouth cracks, dizziness, and constant tiredness. The prednisolone also gave

me a constant reflux. I tried to stick to the diet in the beginning, then left

it, and then returned around the end of March.

I am also

taking probiotics, flax seed oil and homeopathic medicines under the supervision

of a naturopath (since March). I have been feeling better overall – except for the

abdominal distention and smouth cracks. I rarely get D or C.

Also, I was

wondering if/how many had strong arthritis caused by CD? I had a really

impairing case in my left knee for a long time ( 4 orthopedic doctors told me

for months they were sure it would be a meniscus tear until the MRI came out

perfect – I'm 33 y.o.), things got ok only with a cortisone shot (for the knee)

and 5mg/prednisolone during 6 months (I'm not sure on the results of this).

Thank you

for any input! All the best,
