I understand gray hair can be caused by many other things, but can IBS cause a little more gray hair for a young person in some degree? I don't see topics on this. Could so many bowl movement cause malnutrition and cause gray hair?Thanks.

I am not aware of any connection between gray hair and IBS, but I do know that there is a connection between premature gray hair and thyroid disease. A google search should turn up much information on this for you. My hyperthyroidism was first misdiagnosed as IBS-D for several years before I got a correct diagnosis of Graves disease.

Yes,another crappy gift from the head aches and the early aging cause by IBS.

Hmm dunno - I'm nearly 43 and battling with not too many grey hairs at present and 10 years with IBS, so hopefully I've escaped so far - mind you, nothing against grey hair - Richard Gere far sexier with the old salt and pepper look - not fair - looks much better on men!! Or is that just me!! Probably the same could be said about bald men versus women - who else finds Hector Elizondo curiously attractive - or do I need to get out more!Sorry, not trying to be too flippant!!Sue

I'm 53, no sign of any grey hairs (much to the annoyance of my two younger sisters).!

im not sure if there is a connection would think it would be very unlikely, im 43 and i have dark brown hair no grey yet

I'm 42 with greying hair but I don't think IBS caused it. Now the spouse is the same age and claims she'll never have grey hair...something about that once a month appointment she has.Now, I tried going for that Bruce Willis look with a short buzz. But I believe I ended up looking more like Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade instead.

Got my first gray hair at 12. Didn't really notice any IBS until 14. I'm 51 now, but I've been blonde since I was 38. Just as well, my roots keep growing in white.

Whenever I moan on about my ghoul-like limp locks, my husband Paul says "shut up, at least you've got some bloody hair"!!! Zig Zag - nothing wrong with Billy Bob!!Sue
