Fecal microbiota transplant from a healthy donor reversed graying hair and thickened hair in an individual with alopecia areata and gut dysbiosis.

“The person saw an even more dramatic improvement after undergoing a fecal microbiota transplant because of a c difficile infection again this is a different type of hair loss disorder this is alopecia areata borderlining on alopecia universalis and it is autoimmune in nature it's a different pathology from pattern hair loss but look change in the diet sorry change in the microbiome fecal microbiota transplant hair regrowth following 18 months after the procedure”

“those are cases that support your hypothesis that it's the biome itself and not necessarily the inclusion or exclusion of carbohydrate that could be driving these changes but that these changes to the microbiome aren't just limited to improving telogen effluvium chronic telogen effluvium scarring alopecias alopecia areata they're also potentially implicated in the improvement of male and female pattern hair loss”

“there have been anecdotes on hair loss forums of people also experiencing hair regrowth from fecal microbiota transplantations from pattern hair loss and again this supports your assertion that it might not have anything to do with carbohydrate in the carnivore diet specifically but in reducing gut dysbiosis to an appreciable degree”

“this is an individual who has what's known as diffuse alopecia areata it's an autoimmune form of hair loss they also had been dealing with a variety of issues related to gut dysbiosis they underwent a fecal microbiota transplant from a healthy individual and several months later their graying reversed and their hair thickened and this was after having dealt with patchy gray hair and diffuse alopecia areata for years and years and years”
